Test century against West Indies was the best innings of my life, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Nazir-c64248 – Cricket News Update
Out of favour Pakistani opening batsman, Imran Nazir, has ranked his first Test hundred as the best knock of his career so far.
The 30-year-old came through the ranks of junior cricket in the country and represented Pakistan Undeer-19s before making his Test debut during an Asian Test Championship match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
According to many great cricketers like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ian-Michael-Chappell-c63914, the right-hander is the most talented batsman produced by Pakistan in the recent times. However, Nazir’s potential remained unfulfilled, despite some
glimpses of brilliance.
In only his second Test, the cricketer from Muridke (a small town near Lahore) smashed a brilliant century under trying circumstances at Bridgetown against West Indies.
While talking to Pakpassion, Nazir expressed that the hundred remains his best knock as it was made against some great bowlers like Courtney Walsh and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Curtly-Elconn-Lynwall-Ambrose-c51793, who were extremely hard to get away. On top of that, the
innings helped Pakistan avoid defeat in the fixture.
“I think my career-best innings was the 131 that I made against the West Indies in Bridgetown in May 2000. The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 to draw the
match after a first innings deficit of 145,” said Nazir.
The aggressive batsman scored another hundred against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-c64193 had the potential to take the game away from the opposition.
However, his shot-selection has been questioned at times, which has been one of the major reasons behind his downfall at the global arena.
Imran also praised some of the bowlers that he played in the previous era, both from within the country and outside.
The stroke-maker expressed, “I’ve faced legendary bowlers in my career and it’s been an honour to be batting against the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jason-Neil-Gillespie-c66461. In Pakistan there were
of course http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shoaib-Akhtar-c90080, all of the aforementioned were greats.”
