Majestic Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 How would you rank Younis Khan compared to other Pakistani batting greats like Miandad, Inzamam, Yousuf, Anwar etc? Statistically, he is the best in test or second to Miandad. What do you think?
Majestic Posted February 13, 2021 Author Posted February 13, 2021 Mods, plz delete redundant threads..
Cricketics Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 DId not watch Miandad live, Inzamam performed better against us so most Indian people today who watched a lot of cricket would naturally feel Inzi was overall better. Saeed Anwar was Pakistan's more classier bat. But Younis Khan to me was pakistan's most consistent bat in last 15 years after looking at all the clutch knocks played. He scored big against us but also against others and surely man of crisis for Pakistan in most times. i rate him higher than Yousuf also in terms of overall impact. I think also probably one of the better guys in Pakistan team who stayed away from controversies unlike other players. Majestic 1
Serpico Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Miandad > Saeed Anwar > Younis khan > Inzi > Yousuf Anwar was the second best opener in 90s which was the toughest era to bat in modern times. Averaged 46+ as an opener, so I would rate him higher than younis YK has the most runs and most winning centuries for Pakistan, so hard to place him lower than 3rd Vijy 1
SK_IH Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Personal favorites are Yousuf and Anwar, so much elegance in both. But Pakistanis drool over Miandad, so I guess he is their best ever.
First class Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) His stats are bloated due to being the king of UAE but otherwise there are many Pakistani batsmen whom I rate better than him, including Miadad, Yousuf, Inzimam, Majid Khan , Zaheer Abbas and Hanif Mohammad. These are the batsmen who had scored against better bowling attack. Edited February 14, 2021 by First class

ravishingravi Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 I would not put him in Top 5. I have rarely seen him play well against quality attacks in tough conditions. Miandad Zaheer Abbas Saeed Anwar Inzamam Yousuf Youhana

First class Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Being a member of 10 K club, he has to have some extraordinary qualities and he did. Being not as talented and comfortable against quality bowling in difficult condition , as other great batsmen in 10 K club, he would compensate that with scoring big in friendly condition and would never miss a chance to take advantage of flat wickets. For example, in his last England tour with Pakistan team. He failed in 6 consecutive inning but the moment he found a flat wickets at the Oval in 4th test, he scored a double hundred and kept the tour average at a good level. This has been his career pattern , not able to score in tough condition but would score big in helpful conditions.
