I could never understand why Pakistani selectors were ignoring him in the home series against England. He has a good technique, is brilliant in the field and above all, scores his runs at a rapid rate, which gives your bowlers more time to bowl out the opposition. If we work hard on his approach to the game, we might convert him into one of the best number-three players in the game. He was immensely unlucky to get out just before tea. Padding up to an innocuous delivery from Hoggard, he was adjudged leg before wicket.
Cricket is glorious, but can be unforgiving and cruel.
Younis deserved a century in this game. I am sure he is going to score plenty of centuries for his country in future. Inzamam finally played a tired looking stroke and was caught at cover point off Hoggard. I shall treasure his innings for the rest of my life. He has had a golden year and long it may continue.
