Lots of brawn

Fakhar Zaman broke multiple records in the recently finished series against Zimbabwe.

515 Runs scored by Fakhar in this series - the second-most by any batsman in a bilateral series. He was dismissed only twice and averaged an incredible 257.50.

That's the most runs scored by any batsman in a five-match series.

I've been following cricket for nearly three decades and I've never seen such a thorough demolition of an international cricket team in five consecutive matches. If Zimbabwe don't get their top players in the team, then we'll unfortunately see such boring destruction again very soon.

Also, it has been a very long time since Pakistan had truly competent top three batsmen. Zaman, Haq, and Azam form an excellent trio which should give Pakistan a fighting chance against the powerful batting strength of England and India in the World Cup next year.
