Asad has far bigger technical deficiencies compared to UA, the way he has handled short pitched balls from 130 KMPH medium pacers of BD on the dead tracks of BD is no way near the way near with the solidity with which UA plays short ball…He also is weak out side his off stump and tries to feel the ball way too often very tentatively and strong bowling attacks will make him struggle a lot more than they will UA.

Asad’s tag of better temperament (compared to UA) is partially being earned by him with the fact that he has not played against the quality of bowling that UA faced and neither did he batted in conditions as difficult as UA did in first few tests. Had Umar gotten the chances that Asad has to bat against SA in UAE, Bat against NZ in NZ, Bat against SL in UAE and BD in BD, he would have made great use of the dead tracks and scored the runs that would have shut the critics who question his temperament. But UA was deprived off those chance.

Agree with you
Umar scored Century against NZ in NZ …Played well in Australia and England …Against quality bowling attack

Umar should be in the test team …Where he will learn more Insha Allah
