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 . Link to comment

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 Link to comment

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 Link to comment
Mosher Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Brilliant performance from the lad. 6 to get off the mark in tests and now 6 to get to his maiden century. Hopefully more to come. Laaloo, express bowling, UrmiSinhaRay and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment

rkt.india Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 He needs to improve his balance, especially when he plays deliveries on the pads, his head goes outside the line of the ball and his flicks goes in the air. Teams will for sure target him in that area in future by keeping multiple fielders there to take the catch if the shot goes in the air. Switchblade and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
tweaker Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/24899232/virat-kohli-focus-next-lesson-carefree-rishabh-pant?platform=amp 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.

mishra Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) I am preying that Pant has Done Enough in eyes of selectors to be our WK in wc-19. Edited October 5, 2018 by mishra UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
speedheat Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Back yo back attacking aggressive knocks, damn!! Missed a hundred really wanted him to score a ton today as that would have inspire his confidence in times of low.

Number Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 How was his keeping against spinners ? Link to comment
SUMO Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 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. Link to comment

Epic statement. The writer can retire now after writing that he is good enough in terms of job done. Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Dhoni was no great shakes at keeping either when he first came in. He was selected more for his ability to bat and later grew into his role. UrmiSinhaRay and express bowling 1 1 Link to comment
