I just remember Yousaf and Younis both missing out on a couple of double hundreds each not that it matters but still every time it was there for the taking and they were looking solid but still couldnt reach there.

It's a good problem to have, actually. If Mohammad Yousuf keeps getting out in the 190's, I won't be complaining!

[Jonty]

I think the nervous 40's is where the main concern is. If youve scored 90+ or 190+ for that matter, its a job well done. Nervous 40's for the top order is a concern but a quickfire from the middle order not so much..

Clearly the nervous 40s are from Farhat, hafeez and Malik. They will learn to convert with time.

I was really surprised at Shoaib Malik's fallings. That 90 and 95 came in consecutive matches against India.

[Gotham Cronie]

I don't blame Malik though, he had to miss the 3rd test because of his father's death, and then came back in the ODI's to have the following scores.

90, 95, 108, 9, and 12.

Seems like a good candidate for Man of the series, but given to Yuvraj Singh for his scores of:

39, 82*, 79*, 37, and 107*.

Lol I think the 3 of them went in the wrong direction in terms of scores.

Don't mind the nervous nineties, as when they get to the hundred, most batsmen tend to get out anyway.

nervous 40s are a problem though, as being nervous to get to the fifty will often mean that getting significantly past 50, towards 100, is going to be very hard.

Akhtar was unlucky and probably deserved at least one fifty.

YK's 199 was a heart breaker..!

[d0gers]

Stats show that a player is more likely to get out between 100-125 than between 85-100.
