Another valuable innings from Brad Haddin overnight just confirms the importance of runs from a wicket keeper in Test cricket.
Pakistan unfortunately has never really had the luxury of "big runs" on a consistent basis from their wicket keepers.
Only 15 Test centuries in total, of which Kamran Akmal made six of them.
The last Test century by a Pakistani wicket keeper was 1745 days ago when Kamran Akmal made 158 not out against Sri Lanka at Karachi.
Clarke's batting has really started to kick on ever since he was given the captaincy, he seems to score a century every series and 2-3 daddy hundreds every home series.
Most areas which are usually considered when considering ATG's are ticked off.
A remark by Ravi Shastri on TV during the 1st ODI is the cause of a lot of debate. Is the quality of Pakistan's bowling resources a factor behind this observation?
Shami is a better Test bowler there is no comparison but soon he will prove to be a much better bowler in limited over formats.
I always feel this guy is so much underrated here on PP. Just look at his ODI performance this year with ball and bat.
Harsh or the plain truth? Is the Indian batting lineup struggling to stand up to quality bowling attacks?
