The difference is our these types of debutant have a very short product life cycle ala Nazir......hameed lets see how along can Dhawan carry on @ Test Level...last time he played the ODi's vs WI was a flop

ans is no.
reason is he is a hack.
Doesn't make any sense. Even in India it took him 8 years to get his first test. If anything, Pakistan would have picked him in their test side 8 years ago and by now he would have played 50+ tests probably. lol
33.1, 1 Ton and 1 Half Century, Just Like Tendulkar who scored 1 Ton and 1 Half Century on his first Tour of SA and averaged 33.6 Too.
I remember watching him demolish bowler after bowler during an under 19 world cup any years ago and thought the kid had some talent but between then and now his career just seem to stall. good to see him score so well on debut.
8 years because India had Virander and that other Dehli guy opening for them for the most part of 8 years, then Rahul then Sachin and VVS. How can anyone break into that kind of top order?
seems this maybe true!
That's true but thats what i am suggesting. You only need to have some very good batsmen to be to keep guys like Dhawan waiting. Pak have tried a dozen openers in a decade, Dhawan would have made it long ago over there. He's much superior to anyone you have had except may be Toffee Kumar or Butt who too weren't that great.
Wow....just got up and I am shocked....
Got to catch the highlights...
but this guy has been talented...i remember seeing him in U19 WC ...

Is Dhawan not heading into the same league?

And from Dale Steyn.. my favorite cricketer
Dale Steyn ✔ @DaleSteyn62
I hear Shikhar is smoking it! So happy for him! U go my friend!!! #welldeserved
Seriously, the guy was one of the worst players to ever play for Pakistan, even before the match-fixing saga.
Guy has scored fastest debut 100 - But if he was Pakistani, would he ever have been able to impress Misbah and gotten a chance to play for Pak?
A bigger question is, will our retarded standard of domestic cricket EVER produce batsmen like Dhawan or Pujara?
lol thats cheeky. Tendulkar had done far too much before it. Was a domestic phenomena, proved himself in Pakistan, smacked Qadir out of the park for fun, hit hundred in Aus, Eng as a teenager. Shafiq's a poor China made phone compared to iPhonesque Tendulkar.
:
Hyderabad Sunrisers !
Dhawan will be better served playing Steyno in the nets before going to South Africa,
On the contrary people buy China phones more than iPhones..
One has to be totally insane comparing a nobody to SRT. Useless posts and exchange of stats.Yup. That makes them similar.
Infact, forget the ton, Asad Shafiq's 50 in 1st test gives me hope for the tour.
People are more into cheap stuff, high end tech is not for everyone.
The Sunrisers are the same as Deccan Chargers aren't they?
Definitely not and that's why currently Shehzad is being wasted.
Nasir Jamshed also wouldn't be in the team if it was down to Misbah. I remember reading reports that it was Whatmore who insisted he is selected.
This happens a lot on PP. Due to your dislike of Misbah or his captaincy (team selections etc) , everything bad that happens is because of him but everything good that happens is down to someone else.
The fact is, Misbah has played Jamshed in every match he's been in the squad apart from the recent third test.
As for Shehzad, he's not even been in any ODI squad under Misbah so I don't understand how you can blame Misbah for that. In your post you mention Nasir came in because of Whatmore, then why not Shehzad?
You can't have the cake and eat it too.
We are fixated on making the 3rd class bowlers as batsmen ( Malik, Afridi) and hoping these Bradman-esque batsmen will win the world cup for us.
Forget about the Malik or Afridi, there is not a single Pakistani batsman who can play shots/strokes like Dhawan at the moment.

Was Inzamam a hack as well, test failure in Aus, RSA. England wasn't a big deal until recently. Agarkar and Kumble have test hundreds in England. Sharandeep Singh was hard to get out in West Indies.
Doesn't make any sense. Even in India it took him 8 years to get his first test. If anything, Pakistan would have picked him in their test side 8 years ago and by now he would have played 50+ tests probably. lol
Jamshed HAD to play after his brilliant show in the Asia Cup. Otherwise we all know Misbah wouldn't have persisted with him. Jamshed was only brought in due to Whatmore. Misbah did not want Jamshed.
Also, Shehzad hasn't been part of any ODI squad as the captain is Misbah. Misbah is influential in selection of ODI squads and he obviously hasn't called for selection of Shehzad despite Shehzad doing well for PAK(last ODI series ton). Shehzad has scored 3 tons for PAK opening(1 in a world cup warm up) and Misbah has been in the team for each ton. He obviously knows how skilled Shehzad is yet he isn't selected. Even in the recent T20 where he scored 40 odd Misbah was obviously watching. Everyone was calling for Shehzad to be selected for the ODI's but the captain never called for it.
Its clear that since Misbah has become in charge all the aggression and flair associated with PAK cricket has left. The aggressive players e.g. Shehzad, U.Akmal & Wahab have been sidelined and treated badly.
Big debate on all channels basically about this huge delay in him getting this success. Was it down to his own lack of capabilities or did he get ignored for too long? I for one do believe he's been giving less opportunity. So far i have only seen him playing the dead rubber matches after we had won a series or randomly replacing an injured player in 1 or 2 games. Thats all, never had a longer run which is a pity.
185 on debut albeit on a road wicket against mediocre bowling is a pretty decent start to a test career.

Dude is that Aly Khan in your avatar?
on topic - Great knock by Shikhar Dhawan. Oz in for more pain tomorrow. And to think Pujara, Kohli, Tendulkar and Dhoni are still to come
Delhi has this habit of producing some fearless confident batsmen! Aggressive too... It started with Amarnath. Sehwag, Gambhir, Kohli, Dhawan.. Unmukt is in the wings! Pretty strong order that!
Yeah when has Shafiq ever played in Australia and England?
But you know what, Tendulkar at this Stage of his career hadn't played a Match Saving innings like the one played by Shafiq in Pallekele Last Year.
I never compared them both Sachin is a legend, Shafiq is a young and emerging Batsmen who hasn't even started his career but that bolded part written by you shows that you are no more than a Troll when it comes to Indian players.
They all have one common thing - Punjabi parents.
Wait for Mandeep and Jeevanjyot to debut.
Is this even a debate? It was obvious when India was being thrashed series after series that certain players were past it (in fact, the entire batting line-up!). Yet India kept selecting these failures (it still hasn't let them fully go).
Dhawan, Vijay and Pujara will have some testing times in the future and the big test will come against stronger bowling line-ups abroad. But is there any doubt that someone, anyone, should have replaced all of those failing Indian batsmen?
Now if you could just let go of Tendu...
Dhawan has a swag alright!
Agree with the first line but disagree with the second.
Dhawan is a good prospect but PAK have better batsmen then him but they aren't given a chance to blossom. U.Akmal, A.Shehzad, N.Jamshed & H.Sohail in my view are the ones who can play strokes like him.
U.Akmal needs to learn how to construct an innings and the best way he can do that is by giving him a chance up the order to shine. This doesn't happen therefore he'll continue to be the way he is(batting down the order at 6/7) in a sloggers role.
Sehwag replaced by another Jatt
Muchhan nu vatt chadhai ja..
Tu chauke-chhakke layi ja..
Awesome stuff Shikhi boy! Best debut ever!! So proud of you. Go for a huge one tomorrow!
This is how kids expose themselves. Tendulkar in Manchester, 1990. Check it out. Innings played there, in SCG and Perth in 1992 were FAR better than any inning played by Shafiq. Learn more about the players you're ranting against, will spare you from further embarrassment in future.
You're not getting the point. Tendulkar was a SPECIAL talent even during his teenage and so far Asad bhai has shown no such sign and hence it is silly to bring Tendulkar in a debate about Dhawan-Asad. You're trying to put him over Dhawan with a 30sh average in RSA and then trying to back it up with some lies about Sachin. Get real, Tendulkar was better than Asad Shafiq when he was 14 years of age.
Don't get mad now, its a tough place. One does not simply bring the main man in the discussion for no reason.

Yeah well, scoring a Ton in RSA against Steyn and Philander is no big deal especially when they are in the form of their life.
You'd rather take those sixes that Sachin hit too Qadir now wouldn't you seeing as you are such a devoted Sachin Fan.
You just keep on showing it is pointless to argue about anything with you when an Indian Player is involved because you turn into a Troll when any Indian player is involved.
It was a good ton, but it was on a SC type wicket. It was the only pitch where Ajmal troubled SA batsmen and SA did not have a quality spinner to match Ajmal. A ton in the first or the third test would have been far more significant and could be said to be a classic test hundred against very good bowling under difficult batting conditions.
Anyways, Tendu comparison is really silly. Tendulkar was a complete test batsman at the age of 16, when most international players were still representing their schools or clubs.
Saw the highlights, looked happier than Dhawan. This guy is nuts, I bet he keeps the dressing room enthusiastic all the time.
I saw his entire Innings so far. Let me tell you, when the opponents line up to shake your hand at the end of the day, you have done something ... Specially on you debut !!!! This guy looks like Tendulkar and Shewag rolled into ONE !!!!
Our management (PCB) is making big mistake here, not letting our batsman to play their natural game.
We force our batsman to play as our captain and coach wanted (this happen only in Pakistan) and for a bowler, we pick good bowler and let him bowl as he wanted. That’s why we don’t have much problem in bowling department.
NO IF NO BUT SIRF JATT... jehra dainda mucha nu vatt ..nalay kad-dah opposition day vatt ..nah haiga kisay toh ghatt ..oh hai shekar dhawan jatt.
