Opening Will Be Test For Pakistan

Opening the batting in English conditions is considered by many as one of the toughest challenges in Test Cricket. Many a technical astute batsman has been exposed on the seaming wickets at the home of cricket.

Pakistan's Top order batsmen have historically made heavy weather of some of the flattest track around the world,so it comes as no surprise that in England they have endured a tumultuous time against the moving red ball; especially since the famed  duo of Saeed Anwar and Aamir Sohail exited the scene.
But it was not always like this,In a richly rewarding run from 1987 to 2001, Pakistan won six out of the 13 test played across four tours- with series win in 1987,1992 and 1996,and a draw in 2001. In most of the games won by the visitors,the openers provided a decent launching pad. 

Mohammad Hafeez is the only player who had played a note when he scored 95 in the 2006 oval test,the highest score since the turn of the century by a Pakistani opener.Now for upcoming series the opening  for Pakistan rely on Mohammad Hafeez (subject to fitness),Shan Masood, Khuram Manzoor and Sami Aslam. Lets 

we hope best for them and for Pakistan that they can rebuild Pakistan's Legacy.
