He shone in the ODI series vs SL, but a strike-rate of 66.41 despite an average of 43.75 isn't what is expected of a modern batsman. He bats quite slowly in Tests too (SR:38.44) but Tests are meant to fight it out! He is a very good batsman, and I see no reason why he didn't lead in the first Test match against SL, instead of Mohammad Hafeez.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
