Random Pakistan Cricket Fact #5

Here's one in celebration of Razzaq's return to international cricket!

Abdul Razzaq has batted in every single position, from opener to number 11, for Pakistan in One-Day Internationals.

I don't know many others who can boast of such a feat.

Shoaib Malik comes close but he has never walked out to bat as a number 11; Razzaq has done that too!

For the record, in test matches, Razzaq has batted in all positions except 4, 10, and 11.

Where else will you find such a versatile player?

    Chris,

    Stani,

    Haha.. true.. bad or good it highlights the versatility of the player.. or maybe the improvement in his batting over time.. he played his first few ODIs at 9,10, and 11.. then moved up to 7.. then he was tried at 3 at the 1999 WC.. and since then he's opened, come in the middle order and everywhere.

    Haha Ach, I'll wait for that day ;-) ..

    Though I make mistakes too.. like during the IPL when I confused a few of the semi final scenarios.

    Don't stress too much abt tonight though..

    Q, it shows that either he's improved or the people that first saw him bat and decided to put him 11 were blind as bats!

    Stani,

    I think its the former.. he made his debut as a 16 yr old (supposedly) and hardly knew how to bat.. and he was extremely fast then!
