Babar Azam has evolved into a fine young batsman

[maniac]

Not sarcasm or jinxing or anything but he is pretty good.

 

Early on I thought he was a typical selfish Pakistani  batsman.

 

usually with Pakistan it is either the selfish tuk tuks or the brainless hacks and nothing in between. 

 

However this guy looks quality. Credit where due.

Got out now  and people are going to make fun about jinxing  etc but I mean it, he is really good.

Banjo with great power comes great responsibility.  Remember this during the WC before you get itchy fingers, when it comes to Indian team

[SK_IH]

Good stroke player but needs one stand out innings

There were some good pak players who are neither selfish nor tuk tuk

1) Saeed anwar

2) Imram Khan

3) Inzy

4) Misbah - My personal favourite

 

Coming to this guy, he has future but i thought the same about kohli-look-alike (Can't remember his name)

Shehzad lost his mojo after getting hit on the head.  By greenbro standards he wasn't half bad as a batsman.  Still one of the few batsmen across the border who can drive a ball to the boundary on the rise.   But his development stalled, and he got delusions of grandeur etc,  lot of mental issues with that one.

He was tuk tuk master, he was aggressive bowler but mediocre tuk tuk master.

All in all, seems like a typical Pakistani in many respects then. Umar Akmal was another who the Pakistani community hyped a lot. I thought they'd finally discarded him some months ago, but he keeps turning up again and again.

If I have to pick one most selfish player produced by Pakistan, Misbah would be the stand out champion. 

[Zero_Unit]

No doubt he is, but teammates around him bats like retards. Their strategy needs to be bat around him, just like how team Ind does around virat.

[Gollum]

I have rated him for a long time, enjoy his strokeplay. IMO he has a higher ceiling than Mohd Yousuf, can be Pakistan's best overall (all formats) batsman since Inzi. Will follow him closely this WC, Pak's chances hinge mainly around him. 

[Gollum]

Is 24 his actual age or Pak standard age? If it is the former, I see him ending his career as a Pak great. He seems to have a cool head on his shoulders which is a rarity for Pak batting prospects. 

[ShebbySB]

Only Pakistani batsman who can walk into the Indian line up at no. 4  ....on a serious note I rate him very highly.

[gazza]

Potentially Pakistan’s best bat all time all formats.

[Turbanator]

Minnow basher. Let him do something against a top 5 side and we will talk.

[gazza]

Averages 56 in Australia with a century and half century, so not bad, ODIs. In t20Is he’s done well against everyone and in tests he didn’t do too badly in South Africa. He’s still young and improving.

Best part of his batting  is backfoot  game,good upright stance  ,doesn't have famous  crouching tiger, hidden  Dragon technique. 

[Norman]

No. of match winning hundreds against top 4 (Aus, Eng, SA, Nz) 

Biryani  = 1

Barber  = Afridi

 

Hence, Biryani >> Barber. 

 

[PBN]

He was highly rated at even the u19 level.  Gotten better with experience...has a wise and calm composure to back it up. Without people noticing much, he raking up centuries and scoring at a decent rate.  Needs to start converting in Tests now..had a decent SA tour.
