Sam | 8 years ago | Reply Great job. 300s do not come so often these days. Modern day test players do not have that level of patience. Hope you could continue to find right balance between tests and modern day ODI. Future looks bright for Pak in test arena!
Fiz | 8 years ago | Reply Wow, triple century on pink ball in first d/n test match. You have got yourself in the annals of history Azhar, kudos!
