Best Batsman in Pakistani Cricket History

BEST BATSMAN IN PAKISTAN CRICKET HISTORY 


Cricket flows in the blood-stream of every pakistan. Here are the Best Batsman in Pakistani cricket team



Javed Miandad
Best batsman produced by Pakistan who was a genuine match winner and scored all around the world against all kinds of bowling attacks. He had impenetrable batting technique backed with street fighter attitude that made him fierce adversary. His never die spirit and art to get under the skin of opponents especially Englishmen & Australians when we were still fresh from colonial hangover. He played many great innings and produced the ultimate performance in World Cup 1992. Youngest (age 19) player to score a test double hundred. He holds the record of most number of consecutive ODI 50s (9).
Younus Khan
Very similar to Javed, Younus Khan also a fighter and kept the charisma of a Pathan who never surrenders. His test record is exceptional and scored runs all over the world. Despite all the controversies and family tragedies he never gave up. His track record against India is impeccable and filled with magnificent match winning knocks. He is only Pakistani batsman to score 10,000 runs in test cricket and most number of test hundreds (34). He scored consecutive 3 hundreds against Australia and only batsman to score 5 test hundreds in the 4th inning.
Inzamam ul Haq
Most naturally talented batsman produced by Pakistan who was great player of fast & spin bowling. His burst in 1992 WC is still fresh in the minds of a whole generation. He played the role of backbone of Pakistan for a decade which in a way hampered his free stroke playing. I still believe he could have achieved far more had he decided to bat at no.3. He took too much responsibility and that impacted his milestone performances. Highest ODI runs getter for Pakistan despite batting low down the order. He holds the record for most ODI runs (11,783) for Pakistan and also only Pakistani batsman to have 20,000 international runs.
Zaheer Abbas
Known as “The Asian Bradman” due to his 108 first class centuries. He was a flawless timer of the cricket ball and very elegant especially the cover drive. He became the first batsman to hit 3 consecutive centuries in ODI cricket and finished his ODI career with batting average of 47.62
His overseas record is still a tall ask for Pakistani batsmen to replicate.
Mohammad Yousuf
One of best timers of cricket ball from Pakistan following the tradition of Zaheer Abbas. He was a treat to watch in both limited overs and test cricket. His cover drive and inside out over cover were treat to watch. Batting with high back lift while made him extra elegant. He broke Viv Richards record of most test runs (1,788 runs) in a calendar year. He has scored test hundreds against every test playing side and also at their home grounds.

Annara Mundu The medieval undergarments of women in Kerala, India

Image
Until about fifty years ago, most of the women of present-day Kerala in India used to wear undergarments called  onnara mundu  that literally translates to ‘one and a half a loincloth’. This was essentially a loincloth made of thinner cotton fabric and tied in a particular fashion. There used to be a little function for young girls on the threshold of puberty to move from a  konakam  or loincloth to the more sophisticated and feminine  onnara mundu . It was one of our rites of passage. The  onnara mundu  did for the waist what the corset did for the upper body for women in the West. The upper portion of the body was bare and so nobody really cared how ‘stuff’ grew :P All the focus was on the waist and downward. Hence the importance of the  onnara mundu.  It was tied very tightly around the growing waists of the girls to give them the trademark South Indian body shape as they grew older. But due to the fabric, it was very comfortable to wear a...

Who are The indigenous white Muslims?

Image
THE WHITE MUSLIMS - A LARGE GROUP SIMPLY NEGLECTED Whites and Muslims are always 2 different groups in the eyes of many westerners. But there are close to 100-150 million white Muslims in the broader description of the white race. and even in the most conservative definition of "white", there are close to at least 40-50 Million Muslims. Chechen Muslim insurgents who fought against Russia for independence There are the obvious white Muslims who live in Europe or on the edge of the continent in countries like Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Russia and Turkey. The Definition of the White race has always been in debate since the formation of USA. America Described "anyone with middle eastern, European or North African Descent as white"  The middle east obviously has people who could fit the visible test of being white but then there are also quite a number of middle easterners who clearly look nothing like white. But despite the American c...

Largest Snakes in History

Largest Snakes in History Humans have an innate fear of snakes. Ophidiophobia is one of the most common phobias in the world, and studies have shown that most primates are genetically wired to detect snakes rapidly. Prehistory is writhing with snakes, but not just little ones - some were true giants. Everyone talks about  Titanoboa cerrejonensis.  I tend to refrain from writing about famous, popular fossil taxa, but it would be wrong to exclude it from this answer. So,  Titanoboa  was 12.8 metres long, a ton in weight, and commonly cited as the largest snake in history. To at least bring something new to the table, I should mention that  studies  have suggested that  Titanoboa  was more of a piscivore (fish-eater) than a megafauna-killer. Perhaps the snake was in fact a gentle giant? Before the discovery of  Titanoboa,  the title of largest snake went to a different species -  Gigantophis garstini . It lived about 20 million years a...
