Will any Pakistani ever play 100 tests?

[asif9138]

guys this thread to predict which pakistani players from this squad has ability to play 100 test!!
MOYO age 35..85 test..can he make that?
kamran 27..46 test..can he play 100?
umar akmal..19..3 test..
Butt 25...24 test
asif 26..14 test
aamer 17..6 test
gul 25..24 test
danish 29..56 test
and others..fawad..faraht..ajmal...etcs???

i think Moyo has chances, he can play 100 test fro pakistan! kamran and danish also has chance to make!! aamir and umar akmal have enough time if no injury!!

whats your opinion???

[JeeraBlade]

With no test matches in 2008 and no teams coming to Pakistan ----- nobody!

[kingusama92]

Mohammad Yousuf probably will hit 100 tests.

If he plays in every match this year and next year he will have played 94 tests. I am sure he will want to play 100 tests before retiring.

Umar Akmal probably has a decent chance considering he is so young. Although he will have to maintain his performances for a long time and not wither away like some have.

Same goes for Mohammad Aamer.

from 2009 to future...just forget 2008

faisal iqbal, sami

[asif9138]

faisal iqbal, sami

--- and BCCI has already accepted PCB's offer, canceled IPL to accommodate a 10 test series against Pak next year!

[Inswinger]

After MoYo I'd say that Kaneria has the best shot.

[cricpk]

i see maybe moyo making a 100 test, but as we know the future of test cricket doesnt look to bright, i dont see any youngsters playing a 100 test.

[ali_ed2006]

lets hope that Malik, Butt, Farhat, Faisal, and Sami don't play 100 tests.

[asif194]

Danish kaneria have good chance to make that,,kamar akmal and,may b MoYo if he stayed fit nd get away from the player power,,,(like younus is suffering of player power disease)
there is less chance for pakistani players because we are not playing much test cricket like Aus ,SA and Eng etc

[AZ]

Yousuf and Kaneria should manage that milestone

[kingusama92]

This all depends on the future of test cricket. I have a feeling we will see some sort of test championship being placed into the schedule which will allow us to have a champion every year or every two years.

If this is the case then I am sure most of the guys will reach the 100 test plateau as each team will be provided the same amount of matches each season.

However, if there is no test championship in the next 5-10 years then it'll be hard for some of these guys to make it up there because of the limited test cricket Pakistan gets to play in normal circumstances.

[mindless slogging]

I think Aamer and Umar Akmal will have a good chance.

Don't know about Moyo. I think it really depends on his captaincy: if captaincy is removed I can see him calling it quits. Kamran Akmal and Kaneria also have good opportunities.

[IAJ]

Several things need to click before this can happen;

First of all ICC should give us more test series (though we can't play at home) and secondly the way our team is playing at the moment we might lose status as a test playing nation to Ireland or another minnow.

[pun500]

moyo

as tests would reduce in frequency u akmal has very less chance

aamer is a bowler ...not many outright pacers have lasted to 100 tests

i think nitini is perhaps the only recent one
wasim just got there and zak might get there (highly unlikely but maybe)

lee shoaib bond .. fail
srinath ..fail
imran ..fail
waqar ... fail

What about Kallis?

[d0gers]

What about Kallis?
kallis is currently playing his 132nd test.

[pun500]

kallis is currently playing his 132nd test.
how often does he bowl ?? ... he is not SAF's frontline seamer

even in this test they have morkel ntini and some new dude as frontline seamers

kallizzz is a batter these days esp with his back troubles he doesnt bowl more than 20-25 overs in the match

i was just responding to IAJ. thought he was asking why Kallis wasn't in your list.

[Imr4n_Khan]

Yousuf, Kaneria, Umer Akmal and Aamer should make it.

[Sheikh]

Kamran should be one who's most certain, since he's played every test we've contested in the past 5 years. As long as he remains injury free, he'll definitely hit a 100.

Same with Yousuf who should have 94 by the end of next summer.

After that, the options are thin. Kaneria could hit a 100 (unless he gets bumped off by another quality spinner, which is quite likely). I doubt Younis has enough time. Far too early to be looking that far ahead for some of the others (Akmal, Aamer etc).

[asif9138]

Yousuf, Kaneria, Umer Akmal and Aamer should make it.

what about kamran akaml?

[ahsan17]

Yousuf should hit it depending on when he chooses to retire. If he chooses to retire around WC 2011, it's questionable if he will get the honour.

Kaneria should get it if he holds onto his position.

Kamran should get it easily unless he loses form again.

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Kamran will definitely do it provided that he remains injury free.

[kkmix]

Only three will

Salman Butt, Umar Akmal and Mohammad Asif
