Harris Iqbal: "Reverse sweeps just reflect Younis Khan's approach towards the game, which is non-serious. I remember watching an interview of Romesh Kaluwitharana, and he said that he always played proper cricket shots and not once in his career did he attempt a reverse sweep. Perhaps Younis should see that interview as well!"
DO u guys agree????

Don't agree one bit.

Nah, that's silly. Younis just enjoys his game. It's a risky shot but he does normally pull it off, and there is no shot that isn't risky. All cricketers are different and shouldn't be compared...

younis reverse sweep is pretty good... i just don't want him to use it today
 
Having the ex-captain and captain putting together a dogged stand just shows that this is a team that cannot be under-estimated, I am fully confident that Pakistan can reach parity with Sri Lanka's score and come out with a credible draw...
 
Javed Miandad used Reverse Sweep. Was he a non-serious batsman. That should be enough to defeat his naive comment about Younis Khan (our future legend)
 
commentator says: '' malik couldn't hold the batt in u-19'' is that true XD ?

Yup, geniunly selected for his off breaks, and was a clear replacement for Saqi.

Check out answer to it by Bernard from Cricinfo
Bernard: "And yet Younis has 15 test centuries and an average of just under 50 compared to Kaluwithirana's 3 centuries and average of 26. Innovation and entertainment also has its place, even perhaps "non-seriousness", based on those stats!"
 
Malik was off spinner bowler but over the time developed his batting as he found he had just too much competition in the spin department.

I think Bob helped him in batting

I hear he was occasionally used as a hitter at the top of the order in U19s, so he wasn't a tailender but also not a genuine batsman.

thats a nice answer
 
Younis got his century GREAT just awsome just 300 to go for him btw his average is 50 + now :D
 
Perfect innings from the captain, leading from the front!

I wouldn't mind if he played a few shots now.
 
Century up for Younis Khan - the skipper!

Subdued celebrations - needs to at least double it!

Well done boyo!
 
Well done YK a captains knock but we need a double or triple here!

Leading from the front though!
 
Both Malik and YK have fought brilliantly for pakistan here so far!

We need a good last session as well!
