Who is Pakistan's Test cricketer of the year in 2017?

[MenInG]

Not the best year as we seem to lose our way in rankings and that horrible home-whitewash to SL was a bitter pill to take but there were some excellent performances too.

 

[Navdeep Srivastava]

I think Yasir shah

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Yasir in the few tests we’ve played.

 

[Hasan123]

Yasir Shah. He did well in both series epescially versus Sri Lanka on some awful cricket pitches.

 

[ahmadharis1]

Yasir Shah IMO, always took wickets, great series vs. the West Indies especially with his match winning wicket of Shannon Gabriel (WHYY DID DOO THATTTT)

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan played 3 tests vs WI, 2 tests vs SL and 1 tests against Aus in 2017.


2 highest run scorers for Pakistan in 2017,

• Ali - 504 runs - avg 42
• Sarfraz - 350 runs - avg 35

2 highest wicket takers for Pakistan in 2017,

• Yasir - 43 wickets avg 29
• Abbas - 23 wickets avg 21

Test cricketer for Pakistan for 2017 can't be having less than 350 runs or 21 wickets. Going lower would mean very little contribution to figure in top.

Out of these 4, I will go with Yasir.

 

[Syed1]

We played a grand total of 6 tests in this year?

 

[Buffet]

We played a grand total of 6 tests in this year?

2017 so far, Eng/Aus numbers will go up..



Only Zim played less tests than Pakistan.

 

[DRsohail]

i thought over all so wrongly voted hassan..its yasir shah for me..the most impact player.

 

[boomboom6]

Yasir.

 

[htariq25]

Yasir

 

[ManFan]

The guy who took 25 wickets in the WI and won the game from the jaws of defeat. Also his 6-wicket-haul against SL was just gruelling to watch. One of the best bowling efforts I have ever seen.

 

[Saj]

It's been a very poor year for Pakistan in Tests.

The Test team is at a crossroads and there needs to be a lot of improvement.

The batting looks mentally weak and the bowling far from threatening.

 

[CadPakFan]

Undoubtedly our match winner, Yasir Shah

 

[ShahidDar08]

Yasir Shah.

 

[msb314]

Azhar Ali.

 

[Amjid Javed]

With the team playing less and less test each year the team is hardly going to improve at all.

 

[HuzaifaE]

Shah is virtually exclusively the reason we win test matches now, I literally fail to remember the last time we won a test where he didn't spearhead us to victory.

 

[ManFan]

Not anything the Test team can’t fix. It’s the selection of individuals who don’t deserve to be there that’s holding them back. The pitches don’t encourage stroke makers but accumulators in Pakistan and the culture of Misbah’s grinding down the opposition has been embedded into the top order. Only time will tell.

 

[shaz619]

Azhar Al or Shahi, no brainer.

 

[Mamoon]

No one. All of them have failed when it mattered. A forgettable year in Test cricket.

 

[Last Monetarist]

Horrendous year, ashamed how it's been airbrushed by everyone. First to seventh in the space of 12 months. I doubt anyone can be proud of that effort.

 

[Mueez]

Yasir Shah or Azhar Ali

 

[ManFan]

No one. All of them have failed when it mattered. A forgettable year in Test cricket.

1st ever series win in WI on the last ball of the penulamtive over is not forgettable. It's not the Test team's fault that the PCB has only organized a grand total of 6 tests this year. While the record is shameful, the series in WI was the only limelight and that too a bit dissapointing but the catalysts of that dissapointment are gone with their effects still visible.

Losing two Tests to WI in quick succession was embarrassing, and the loss to SL was probably even more embarrassing. I think the PCB have done great service to the team by arranging only 6 Tests this year.

Our Test team is rubbish at the moment - mediocre batting, dull fast bowling and a spinner who heavily relies on weak opposition and helpful pitches.

 

[hailian]

Misbah it is, Top scorer in his very last series!

 

[Hermoine Green]

With grand total of 6 Test matches

Shah and Ali.

 

[Square Drive]

Yasir Shah. Carries us.

 

[MenInG]

Yasir Shah. Carries us.

he has always needed some runs to bowl at. Without Azhar Ali, there is nothing to bowl at.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

We have literally played test cricket with two players this year. And a little bit was done by Abbas. Everyone else has just donned the whites and vanished into thin air.

The one test in Australia was disappointing to say the least. The manner we gave up on it was despicable.

The loss in the second test in West Indies was surprising to say the least from the position of control we had there.

The last test was emphatic and it produced one of the highlights of our test playing history but to be fair it shouldn't have gotten that far.

The two tests against Sri Lanka was lost to shamayan blessings so that's cool. You can't compete with magic etc.

I'm just hoping 2018 is any better, if not, the changes in the FTP will be considered as a blessing. For some reason a test loss resonates much longer in terms of time and since we aren't winning many, it's better that we don't play any.

 

[Hedz]

No doubt Azhar Ali.
Followed closely by Yasir Shah
And next would be Mohammad Abbas

 

[hadi123]

My vote was Azhar Ali. He has been our most reliable batsman and without him I don't even want to imagine how weak our batting line up would look.
