Aap ko Fawad say kiya problem hay? Discrimination or somthing (as usual amongst Pakistanis)?
Well, apart of politics and discrimination, there is nothing that could deny Fawad Alam in test and ODI.
Most of the time over long period, players’ first class average and test average are close to each other. It all depends on given chance to play test matches.
Now, comming to Fawad Alam, Fawad has higest first class average in Pakistan and has highest first class average in subcontinent after Tendulkarb:
Tandulkar: 21980 runs from 418 innings at an average of 58.9 runs with Higest Score of 348 (not out).
Fawad Alam: 4335 runs from 96 innings at an average of 56.29 runs with Highest Score of 296 (not out).
In Pakistan, only few players ever had first class average of over 50 and amongst them, Javed Miandad with an average of 53.37 comes next after Fawad Alam.
Javed Miandad: 28663 runs from 632 innings at an average of 53.37 runs with HS of 311.
Obviously, if any of other players was better than Fawad than they would have had higher average than Fawad in first class cricket too (especially when a players has scored over 4000 runs in first class matches). Now, if Fawad has highest average in first class cricket than any player playing in Pakistan, than why others who have lower average play test cricket and not Fawad?
Even in ODI, I believe, fawad has higher average than any Pakistani player (oiver 47), and with very good strike rate (over 73).
