Beleg
International Regular
The end of an era.
A great match-winner (17 centuries out of 25 in wins) and an amazing batsman to watch. There have been, and will be, endless debates over his place in the pantheon of Pakistani batting greats but I can say without reservations that during my cricket watching life, starting from early 90's, I never saw a better batsman play for our country. He contributed to more wins for the country than any other cricketer I can think of, with the exception of Akram.
On a personal note, he was my favourite batsman since the day, as a wee kid, I saw my family go bonkers while he was playing that knock in Auckland.
