Yasir Hameed stamped his presence in international cricket with two Test centuries on debut - against Bangladesh at Karachi in August 2003 - becoming
only the second player to achieve that feat. Frail of build, Yasir's game is all about pure timing, and the elegance and ease with which he picks gaps in the infield is remarkable. Good technique coupled with a great eye have helped him in his career so far. His exploits in the one-day arena have been as impressive, and he has forged a superb combination with Imran Farhat at the top of the order: against New Zealand at home the pair put together a record four consecutive hundred partnerships. The early signs are promising, but Yasir has, of late, shown a worrying tendency to waste his starts, making pretty 20s and then throwing it away, often by flailing at wide ones outside off. He will need iron out that flaw to become a long-term No. 3 in Tests. Quick in the field with a safe pair of hands, Yasir is also a useful addition to Pakistan's slip cordon. |
