How highly do you rate Mohammad Yousuf?

From Hayden to this toxic softie.
His methods are outdated with those gently lobbed throwdowns and half volleys.

Could had been a great batsman, but his ego got the best of him.

Yousuf came from a poor background and achieved very highly in his career. Thus, once he became a senior player, he decided to stop playing domestic cricket or work on his fitness.

His stance was that because he is a senior player now and broke some record, the board should run around him and he should get selected irrespective of whether he plays domestic or not.

His career was than cut short because of this stupid attitude of his.

He was involved in some fight with a lahore cricket association representative, who placed yousuf in his place by not selecting him for a t20 tournament of pcb.

Compared to yousuf, one thing i really liked about akhtar was that even though akhtar had issues with everyone, he still would show up for his domestic games and fulfill his domestic duties

I'm not going to bring in statistics here, but the Pak batsman I feared the most was Saeed Anwar. The guy was truly class. He was the only Pak batsman I feared. I respect Mohammad Yousuf. But this question is for Pak fans, how highly do you guys rate him? Do you rate him ahead of Inzamam? Do you guys rate him alongside guys like Sachin, Lara or Ponting?

Yusuf to me was the best Pakistan batsman I have seen in overseas conditions.

This isn't true. Shoaib would only play the bare minimum number of domestic games needed when he became an established player for Pakistan

Mohammad Yousuf was a top shelf Test player with an average of 52 & a great ODI player. He gets a lot of hate because he didn’t have the flamboyance and attitude usually associated with Pakistani players of his time. He stayed away from drama and focused on his game. A true gentleman.

17,300 runs in 381 int'l matches
Most Test runs in a calendar year - 1,788 in 2006
3rd most runs by a Pakistani batter

Happy Birthday to the Legend, Mohammad Yousuf

For 92% of his career he was a 45 averaging test player. In 2006, he averaged close to 100. Very lopsided career, that is why he is seen differently depending on how you see it.

Gun player. Out of his 15 odi centuries. 10 of them were not outs and all of then resulted in wins for pakistan. When this guy performed, he took his side home plain and simple.

Laughable to compare babar to him
