Congrats Babar Azam: Joins the list of fastest batsmen to 1000 ODI runs

[Asim]

Glad he justified the hype about him before he started...

 

3 consecutive ODI hundreds vs WI...

[Asim]

Record highest runs in any 3-match ODI series ever...

[Asim]

(Hope he do not follow cousin-Akmals steps though)

[Shamim.Miah]

Class player! Young and can still improve! Saw him play against England. Easy replacement for Misbah! Someone Pakistanis can depend on. Hope he has a good future:)

[kruiser]

Good prospect going by the stats only.. haven't seen him play yet. Is he in line to be the fastest to 1000 ODI runs? 

[Lala]

Young Talent, Great to Watch  Keep it up Boy

[Forever Indian]

Good to see lots of batting talent coming up for Pakistan. Coincidentally or Incidentally it is coming after the exile of the Akmals and Shehzads

[philcric]

Wow 3 in a row. That takes some doing.

 

[Detonator]

I hope he doesn't become another Big Nas

[Austin 3:!6]

Wont survive even 5 balls from the 'Rare Talent' Bumrah

1st Pak batsman this millenium who seems to know how to bat in modern ODI cricket.  Let's hope he can do it against better teams rather than just the Windies in UAE.

^^^^ Will you also judge Ashwin when he starts picking up wickets in RSA, AUS, NZ, ENG ?

 

By the way Babar had a strike rate of 100 this series and has a career strike rate of 94.

Awww.  Sensitive much?  Ashwin does have to improve his overseas record, and I'm quite sure he will.  Next.

Btw, I'm happy for Pak fans that they finally may have a bat with potential, instead of fat hacks that try to slog every ball square of the wicket.  But the reality is that if Robin Uthappa or Dinesh karthik or even a Parthiv Patel were eligible to play for Pakistan, they would be ATGs for that team at this point.  so go suck on a lime, instead of getting over-sensitive.

Happy for Pakistan. I don't think India should play Pak, but a talented Pak team is always fun to watch. And easier to cheer for than Aus and England. 

[sandeep]

Pak is easy to cheer for, fellow Indic brothers that they are.  Now only if their government stopped sponsoring murders of Indian citizens in pursuit of a hopeless self-defeating strategy...

Got 3 inngs to score 114 to equal Viv, 2 inngs to break

[FischerTal]

from what i have seen of him, he seems to be a primarily back-foot player. will do good in Aus, but could struggle in Eng, SA, NZ. one good thing for him is that he's a confident player of spin, which will help him in subcontinent, where he will play most of his matches. 

[putrevus]

Amazing accomplishment. Umar Akmal if he had any self belief or talent should have done the same thing . But khatmal ran away from the pressure of batting in top order.
