I have compiled some interesting stats concerning the dreaded number 3 position and it's candidates. I think, it is very clear who the better choice is for our country. I know we may have different favorite players, but I surely hope that we have one favorite team, and a favorite out come of any game (Pakistan wins). With all due respect to the players and their supporters, I would like you all to look at these and decide for your self.Please tell me, as an ardent lover of Pakistani cricket, why Mr X should not replace Mr Yonis as 1 down?
Mr X:
overall 127 112 13 3243 143 118 115 32.75 5 19 8
3rd position 31 31 1 1216 143 118 95 40.53 2 9 1
Against the other (7) test playing nations : 32.98
In Wi (host for WC) : 3 2 0 64 51 13 - 32.00 0 1 0
Yunis khan:overall 143 138 18 3796 144 101 90 31.63 2 25 12
3rd position 38 38 3 917 101 73 71* 26.20 1 7 3
Against the other (7) test playing nations : 26.13
In Wi (host for WC) : 9 9 0 190 48 40 31 21.11 0 0 0
Stats spanning more than 100 games quite often reflect actual performances. People who look at history as lessons make better choices today. We all say Pakistani batting has problems. Good. To solve a problem one needs to realize there is a problem, identify what it is and then the solving part becomes just a matter of time. Has PCB identified the correct problem?
My Pakistan 11 (ODI):
Salman Butt
Yasir Hameed
Mr X
Yousuf
Inzamam
Afridi
Razzak
Kamran
Shoaib
Umar
Asif
And offcourse this will not happen as Pakistan will not replace Mr Yonis, cannot break the trend we own: ijaz/yonis/some joker, etc!
Ps: No points for guessing who Mr X is :)
