"Both Virat Kohli and Babar Azam are inspiring cricketers who I look up to" : Abdullah Shafique

[Titan24]

He has surely played one of the greatest 4th innings knock in sub continent to see his side home chasing 343 scoring 160*. A knock to remember.

Hopefully upwards and onwards from here.

When Mamoon ruthlessly hates a player ie "his technique is more for show than dough" , you know that the player is going to be a special player for Pakistan.

Its all very random for Mamoon. He randomly makes 12 predictions and gets two of them right like a broken clock. When does he does a few right, he does a lot of chest thumping lol

Abdullah Shafique's innings lasted 524 minutes, also a record for the longest time spent at the crease by a batter in a successful Test run chase.

Asad Shafiq 2.0

Timid and nervous. His technique is more for show than dough.

Lack of alternatives doesn’t mean you should hype average players.

Shafique has been hyped as a world class batsman in the making but you cannot become a world class batsman if you always look scared and nervous. He clearly has confidence issues.

People dislike Imam for dumb reasons but he has a higher ceiling than Asad Shafiq 2.0

That’s a big if. Shafiq could have been a very good player but he never developed the mentality. It is hard to do so because you either have it or you don’t. You are born with it.

The expert has talked, so please just listen to him.

Fifth first-class ton for Abdullah Shafique

Great start by Abdullah hopefully he gets 1000 runs in domestic.
