Top Six for Tests vs Australia

I think Pak should stick with the following for their top six batsmen against Australia no matter how they perform. They should be judged after three tests. Column 2 is batting average in Australia.

  1. Imran Farhat 11.00
  2. Salman Butt 37.5
  3. Faisal Iqbal DNP
  4. Mohammad Yousuf 33.00
  5. Umar Akmal DNP
  6. Shoaib Malik 23.5

Player Span Mat Inns NO RunsDescending HS Ave 100 50
Salman Butt 2004-2005 3 6 0 225 108 37.50 1 1
Mohammad Yousuf 1999-2005 6 12 0 396 111 33.00 1 2
Shoaib Malik 2004-2004 1 2 0 47 41 23.50 0 0
Imran Farhat 2004-2004 2 4 0 44 20 11.00 0 0

Re: Top Six for Tests vs Australia

Did you know that Hanif Mohammad averages 98.5 in Australia?

He played one Test in 1964 and scored 104 and 93.

Of the current lot, Asim Kamal (48.5) and Younis Khan (43.1) are only players to average more than 40.

Re: Top Six for Tests vs Australia

In the last 10 years, Pakistan has produced only TWO Test centuries in Australia - Salman Butt 108 and Mohammad Yousuf 111.

how many time they have visited? 1 or 2 ? I guess once only?

.

Re: Top Six for Tests vs Australia

Butt visited in 2004-05
Yousuf in 1999 and 2004-05

In nakhasta batting stats ko dekh kar nahin lagta k team ko 'swine flu' ka bahana karkey NZ sey Pakistan wapas aa jana chahiye!!

Butt visited in 2004-05
Yousuf in 1999 and 2004-05. Scoring the century in 2004-05

Yeah you are right, I guess 2 centuries in 3 tests isn't that bad. For some reason I thought they visited twice in 2000's.

Re: Top Six for Tests vs Australia

No Pakistan batsman has ever scored a double ton in Australia.

The highest Test innings is 158 by Majid Khan in the late 70's.

Re: Top Six for Tests vs Australia

Ponting averages 81 vs Pak in Aus .....so better be aware of him

Re: Top Six for Tests vs Australia

And the last time Pakistan scored 400+ runs in Aus in an innings was back in 1983. List :faint:

No double hundred even by the legends i.e. Dopey Inzi, Miandad etc?

Re: Top Six for Tests vs Australia

^^^^^^^^
no .......inzi averages only around 30's vs aus..........i think so

Re: Top Six for Tests vs Australia

Rock, not in Australia.

So not many so called 'winning innings' in Australia.

Re: Top Six for Tests vs Australia

Our S.O.S responder Mohammed Sami has taken 5 wickets in 67 overs at 56 runs a piece with a beautiful economy rate of 4.2 runs per over in TESTS!!! (in Australia)

Nazr-e-budduur

Pakistan hasn't won a Test in Australia since before Inzi was born, so let's not blame him.

OK, that was a joke. Pakistan last won in Australia in 1995.

And in that game Inzi played a lone hand of 59 highest score in the second innings to win the Test. So phittay mooo on YOU and TENDULKAR.

you see Inzi wasn't after records of centuires..he played gems of innings to win the matches.

n he is gona make things more worse if he gets the chance in the 1st test.........what the hell selectors look at his record n send him to Aus

No just as greats like Ponting, Waugh, Sachin etc has no double 100 against Pakistan in Pakistan, Pakistani greats dont have one agasint Aus in Aus
