Re: Shoaib Malik as opener: Your Verdict.
i think he is a mentally strong player and has a good batting technique....
he's played almost at all positions in the line-up and i think he can handle opening better than some specialist openers that we tried (i.e. taufiq, nazir, farhat etc)....
and in the middle order we have the big 3 (younis, yousif and inzi) where it gets difficult for pak to accomodate a quality player like malik....
so opening with malik is good both for pak and for malik himself....
