Not seen Umer Amin.

Azhar from what I have seen has a bit of Kallis especially in his defensive game though he also has a tendencey to poke at nothing balls outside off but overall looks quite solid for the longer version.

I've neve seen Azhar Ali but his domestic record deserves attention.

Umar Amin I saw during the u19 WC and there was something about him that inspired confidence. He was fluid and solid in his strokes and looked the part from the moment he got out there.

Guys what was that other guy that was being praised here on PP a lot, I think he is 20 and just scored a century in the recent Pentangular Cup?!

I think his name needs to be upthere as well with these two!

T20I Debutant
 
Debut: Oct 2005
Venue: Karachi
Runs: 8,076
Umar Amin: A stylish left-hander in the classical mould who plays straight to full deliveries and is comfortable cutting and pulling shorter ones. Possesses a good, correct technique and is a top order batsman, preferred at number 3. Whilst he looks good against the quick's, he's also impressed against the slower bowlers as he's happy to use his feet, smother the spin, and hit the gaps. May not be the longest hitter of a cricket ball but he does have a bit of class about him coupled with a level head. Looks a top prospect.


Azhar Ali: Right-handed. Not as naturally talented as Amin, but seems ferociously determined, and hungry for runs. Looks a batsman who hates to get out, or rather, loves being out there. Has a good temperament, a solid technique, and an increasing array of strokes. Favours playing on the back foot, though he's slightly vulnerable playing away from the body. Is strong off his pads and a good driver of the ball as well. Seems comfortable against spin as he's played in the middle order before, though his recent run of scores have come as an opener.

Some exciting young batsmen and fast bowlers are emerging but where are the hard hitting allrounders?

^Mohammad Shahazib Hasan Khan, but i am not sure if he is a hitter or not. Also Fawad Alam is one of the hard hitting allrounder.

I would classify Alam as a batsman. His bowling looks below par.

Good sum up of Azhar Ali.
