Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

you mean bench?

bench is pretty empty sir jee …there are hardly bastmen with batting average >40% in our first class

what do you think is the first class average of asad shafiq, azhar ali, kamran manzoor, mohd hafeez, umar amin, awais zia, sharjeel khan, ahmad shezad ?

sir jee all of them are below 40 in the first class. Shezad i think hardly touch 40..rest are all below 40…and isnt this the future of pak batting?

would u believe azhar averages only 35 and asad i think 37 in the first class ad they are our future stars…

ironically umar akmal, haris ali, fawad alam, shoaib maqsood all average >40 but you never see them in the test squad…why is fawad alam not in the test team? can someone answer this?

PD shor nay karay to kaya karay

and you look india and aussies…almost every one averages 45+ in the first class…i repeat every batsman in india and aus’s national team has a comfortable 40+ average in the first class..some have 50+

In a way I am glad you do consider domestic scene to be worthy of selection criteria :k: … I have long been supporter of picking up top batsmen from domestic performances, Fawad Alam’s exclusion is really a mystery to me.

A small list of players with ave 40+ in domestic that I could find :
Amer Sajjad 40.42 (but 33 years now), Umar Amin 38.01, Abdul Rahman Muzammil 50.73, Naved Yasin 43.26, Faisal Iqbal (urf bhanja) 40.79, Mukhtar Ahmad 69.33, Awais Zia 39.94, Faisal Mubashir 40.40, Rehan Aridi 42.78, Imran Farhat (urf daamad) 43.78, Saifullah Bangash 59.5 (but only 2 games played so far).

Above players seen performing in this tournament:

Umar Akmal has been given multiple chances but

Glad to know that… I am able to watch it on Willow (yes, sometimes they will show non Indian games :))
