MrKam | 7 years ago | Reply @M.S.: Minus his 34 centuries then his career average will not be 53 but rather something in upper 30s. The best about average is that you have to calculate all the innings unfortunately. What if all the other batsmen had put in a little effort then the result of this series would have been something else.
M.S. | 7 years ago | Reply @MrKam: No doubt he is better than other Pakistani batsmen but is it enough? With his exprience and reputation he should have been best in both sides.
