Don’t just look at Zaheer’s test average. Look at his one-day record as well (an average of 47.62) He was one of only 6 batsmen of his era (others being Viv Richards, Miandad, Greg Chappell, Haynes and Greenidge) who averaged 40+ in both tests and ODIs

Zaheer had 4 double hundreds in 70 odd tests, two each against England (both in England incl. his highest score of 274) and India

Besides average is not everything. Zaheer was sheer class and grace at the crease, one of the sweetest timers of the cricket ball.

And it was also very noticeable (and Imran Khan wrote this in his autobiography ‘all-round view’) that when both Zaheer and Miandad were at the crease together and in form, Zaheer easily outscored Miandad because of his exquisite timing

He was over-rated in my opinion. Except for a couple of innings in England, he was total flop over-seas and big suspect to pace and bounce.

Golden, sure he was one of Pakistan’s better batsman of the 70s but I still think he was NOT the game’s great.

My current favourite:

Faisal Iqbal
Imran Farhat
Salman Butt
Shoiab Malik
Fawad Alam
Yasir Hameed (even though he is not in the squad)
