When is the last time

  1. Pakistani openers put 100 runs partnership in ODI?

  2. Pakistani openers put 150 runs partnership in tests?

  3. A Pakistani scored a double hundred in Australia?

You are on the wrong website, sir. Check out Statsguru at CricInfo.com unless you want a phooket mein faarigh aadmi to do your donkey work. :)

Re: When is the last time?

The answer for these questions is sheer embarrasment.

Re: When is the last time?

Well the last one is easy. I don't think any Pakistani batsman has ever scored a double hundred in Australia.

Re: When is the last time?

  1. Salman Butt and Akmal scored 100+ runs opening..

  2. Salman Butt and Malik scored 150+ runs opening..

  3. MoYo with double hundred in Australia..

In My Dreams...

Re: When is the last time?

embarrasment for us as fans but to those besharam openers, its business as usual. Every new innings, they walk in & out of the field as if they've a train to catch. None seem to be willing to learn and improve.

Re: When is the last time?

don't know about the openers but, if given an opportunity yousuf or younis can score double hundered against australia in australia. we have solid middle order.

Re: When is the last time?

wishful thinking. and wht kind of opportunity? play against school kids? :hehe: bcos no matter how good these 2 are, i seriously can’t see them scoring double centuries against australia anywhere in the world, let alone IN australia. anyhow, australia’s tour of pakistan is not too far. we’ll see how pak will fare against australia on home turfs.

Re: When is the last time?

Not sure about yousuf anymore but younis for sure can (if he wants) :jhanda:

Re: When is the last time?

Lagta hai Yousuf nai aap kee Bhains chura lee hai …bhai jee he is still Pakistan’s No.1 batsman ..as they say “aap maneen ya na maneen, yee haqeeqat hai” :slight_smile:

Re: When is the last time?

^ yeah I wonder why one bad series has hurt him this much regarding yousuf? :D

Re: When is the last time?

Misbah is number one batsman right now. Aur yehi haqeeqat hai. And then comes Younis and then Yousuf.
I have been disappointed by his running, by his fielding attitude, by his attitude on the field over all and foremost his batting.
Isn't that enough reason?

Re: When is the last time?

ok ... lets agree on disagree and come back to this topic after 2-3 series (against good opponent) and we will see who is No.1 batsman for Pakistan :)

Re: When is the last time?

lagta hai Ali_R nai apeee zindagee kee sare POOONJHEE Yousuf per bet ker dee theee :D

Re: When is the last time?

Decent bhai, It's not even that. If it would be about money I'd swallow it :)
Baat yeh hai ke he is not being productive regarding his attitude. Look at the Indians they are so "active" and put in 100% effort. Cricket has changed over the years and especially since Australians have been dominating it now for the last couple of years. We need changes and this can only happen when ppl like Yousuf either change their attitude or leave the team.
Aise to you guys will never agree on dropping him for the next century.
Just coz he is a stylish batsman?

Re: When is the last time?

Bhai, Yousuf got plenty to offer. If you were to drop everyone after one bad series, Pakistan wouldn't have a team by next year.

Re: When is the last time?

Chalo jee, hum bhi idar hai aur aap bhi. Lets see what he does in next series :)

Re: When is the last time?

O bhai I totally agree with you that FIELDING is a really important part of the game now and I also accept that Yousuf is not right up there with Youvraj Singh or Symond or Gibbs but Test cricket (or even ODI) is MORE than fielding, its the test of primary skills (batting, bowling....) and Yousuf is by far the best batsman we have in Pak. Ager srif "attitude" and "fielding" per hee teams banteen tu I wonder why KAIF is out ? He is (if not the best), one of the best fielder in the world !

Re: When is the last time?

And I really wonder why Kaif is not there...but thats another topic :)
Actually my anti-Yousuf call is very much directed towards the ODI's.

Re: When is the last time?

Yosuf will be our # 1 batsman for ages to come. He will easily take all national records inshallah. just wait and see
