To state that he doesnt have much talent is overplaying his mental fortitude,he is an improved batsman much like shastri or steve smith. Azhar ali is one of the greatest openers pak has ever produced  ,most of the time their openers fail in foreign conditions.

 

Even in that match, pak collapsed in a heap in the final session, all that mental strength couldn't save them that match.It was yasir shah who won pak those matches, that along with younis's 200 are really the difference between ind and pak in eng of late ,ind spinners havent been as effective in eng.

Must have been his 5 years playing in Scotland's division 5 that learnt him how to play on British wickets .

pak domestic are also different to ind ,since they love pace bowling they try to give more helpful pitches /balls to the pacers,all pak domestic pacers have excellent records.

I don't think you are understanding my admiration for Azhar Ali , he has done fantastically well in International cricket considering he had limited ability compared to many others . He has worked very hard and has mental strength other talented cricketers obviously didn't have . 

As you know your Pakistani openers, here is two more Mudassar Nazar and Shafiq Ahmed. Put in order your 1,2,3 with Azhur of who the best

Never saw those guys bat .Whatever little i have seen on yt ,majid khan looked quite good,but then again talent often means how nicely you drive or flick the ball ,a solid consistent defense is not seen in that light.

Experience with all three at age of 21 and the other two had much much more natural ability but Azhar has showed in Test cricket that's not all what you need

Pant swung hard, as he does. Swung against the turn, which was not so good. Got out for 92. Eight more runs and he could have got a second 100.

 

It's a small mistake in light of the position India are in, but it is the kind that can be avoided, as Kohli keeps showing. He's got to 1000 runs for a third year in a row by cutting out silly mistakes. People around the world know his weakness outside the off stump, but to exploit it, the pitch needs to be helpful, the bowler needs to know how to swing the ball, the team needs to show discipline and only after that does the edge come and then it needs to be caught.

Even counter attacking 40-50 runs from no. 6/7 is great. Many a times such knocks can win you tests while setting a target in 3rd innings or chasing in 4th, which saha lacked. Dhoni had it but just for subcontinent.

Pant is capable of more than that.

10 Byes a match (due to wk fault of course) are not much of a problem unless he catches everything safely.

Epic statement.  The writer can retire now after writing that he is good enough in terms of job done.
