Step back into the golden age of cricket and witness Majid Khan's unforgettable century against New Zealand during the 2nd Test at Napier in February 1979 — the very first Test match played at McLean Park, Napier, and the 50th Test venue in the world.
In this video, we bring you rare vintage cricket footage and storytelling, highlighting Majid Khan’s unbeaten 119, an innings of sheer grit, old-school patience, and unmatched technique. Majid batted for a colossal 411 minutes, crafting his century with 13 graceful boundaries, reminding fans why he was one of the most stylish batsmen of his era.
This was no ordinary century. On a pitch that was supposed to misbehave — as feared by Pakistan captain Mushtaq Mohammad — Majid weathered the storm of expectation and delivered an innings carved from classical Test match temperament. It took him 4 hours and 24 minutes to reach his half-century, and a full 6 hours to bring up his ton. It wasn’t flashy, but it was faultless.
Majid Khan also crossed a major personal milestone during this Test match, becoming only the second Pakistani at the time to surpass 3,000 runs in Test cricket. Against moderate bowling and on a slow, docile track, his knock may seem slow by today’s standards — but in truth, it was a technical exhibition of endurance and elegance.
The match ended in a draw, with not many fireworks from either side. But it gave cricket lovers something truly special: a classic Majid Khan performance that embodied the spirit of vintage Test cricket.
💡 Whether you're a true cricket fan, a nostalgia hunter, or someone discovering the legends of Pakistan’s cricketing past — this video is a must-watch. Relive the calm, the craft, and the class of one of cricket’s most regal batsmen.
