Fawad Alam is am exception along with misbah.
Umar Akmal was also averaging 50 plus when he made pakistan team. He was a stroke player . Haris Sohail was also not just an accumulator when he played for Pakistan he was averaging 52 in Fc cricket. Every country has specific wickets . Pitches of islamabad , KRL rawalpindi , mirpur and abbotabad are fast . Especially diamond cricket ground . Yes on some wickets there is too big a grass . Major issue is the ball being used .
You cannot put usman in the same basket as mukhtar and Saad. But it's your personal opinion so I respect it .
Umar is an exception as he has all basis covered in terms of batting, except for the part that he lacks a brain.
If u analyze closely the game of all the new pak batsmen.
What do they struggle with most?
Yes their defensive techniques are flawed n they struggle when there is pace in bounce. However, the biggest issue is the inability to rotate strike.
What is the reason for it?
Bowling friendly pitches.
On slow n turning pitches,u cant use a half open bat face to nurdle the ball into gaps as u run the risk of getting beaten by the spin n also there isnt much pace off the wicket to use n guide it where u want.
So what does the batsman do?
He either sits in, waiting for a rank bad, which somebody like usman salahuddin and fawad would do, or in the other case try to slog his way out of trouble. Those who choose the latter method end up being hacks like mukhtar, khalid latif and sharjeel. These guys cant rotate strike to save their lives n all their game is centred on the bottom hand to generate power on slow wickets.
The top hand game of all these hacks is so weak coz they hardly get the pace to play those shots, with another reason being the bounce not being true.
The same thing happens on those green mambas, with that gray's ball,where u cant play on the up n there is so much help for the bowlers that the batsmen can never be confident of playing a stroke.
So how do they score then? Simple,The fawad alam way.
Apart from a select few, including krl's diamond club ground , there r is hardly a strip prepared where there is even bounce for the batsmen.
Even the pitch on that ground is usually covered with grass for matches as can be seen from the unreal stats of sadaf hussain, who plays there for krl
