Is Younis Khan an ATG test batsman?

The very top end of ATVG for me, just misses out

 

[Johan]

Nah. Way too many issues against true fast bowling.

 

[kyear2]

Nooooo

Damn, so the last ATG Pak produced debuted in 1989/1985. That’s a very long time.

Wasim debuted in '84 didn't he?

He has Waqar Younis as ATG

1985 in tests

I rate Virat Kohli higher than Younis Khan

 

[sayon basak]

Maybe.

 

[OverratedSanity]

He absolutely was imo. Had his issues on quick seamy decks but had more than enough successes against good fast bowling, was one of the greatest against spin, and was very consistent for ages.

 

[govinda indian fan]

I love younis. He was probley among greatest players of spin but he has just 5 centuries in sena. Even rahane and kl rahul have more centuries in sena then him. So no

He has Waqar Younis as ATG

Apparently.

Doesn't quite make the cut for me.

 

[kyear2]

I don't know, to have Younis as an AT Great, you're going well past 25 / 30 batsmen alone. That's a bit much imo

 

[Coronis]

No, but close.

 

[Rob Wesley]

No, missed out. Not the man for statistics and don’t value runs in UAE much either.

Agreed. For modern players (post 1970), I think Dravid is probably the worst ATG for me.
