Wasim AkramL gives his Pakistan player ratings after England series draw:

Wasim AkramL gives his Pakistan player ratings after England series draw:
Sami Aslam - 8/10
167 runs @ 55.66 - two fifties
He really impressed me. Obviously, Pakistan having been grooming him from the Under-19s and he was very gutsy with the way he played.
Azhar Ali - 7/10
295 runs @ 42.14 - one hundred
He looks much fitter, leaner, hungrier and he was unlucky early on in the series but what I was impressed by was his attitude. He's leaner, it means his foot movement is much better.
Asad Shafiq - 8/10
274 runs @ 39.14 - one hundred, one fifty
For me, along with Yasir, he was definitely pick of the series for Pakistan. He batted well, with good technique and defended solidly. With his technique, I think he is the right choice for No 3.
Younus Khan - 9/10
340 runs @ 48.57 - one double hundred
He is a class player. 32 Test hundreds, six double hundreds and a triple century, the highest run scorer for Pakistan. He struggled early on in the series but he came back with a bang.
Misbah-ul-Haq - 9/10
282 runs @ 40.28 - one hundred, two fifties
He has been a lone ranger for the last six or seven years. Pakistan cricket went into turmoil five or six years ago, he took the reins and he's really led from the front. He's a true leader, makes good decisions, he's calm and that is what Pakistan need.
Yasir Shah - 9/10
19 wickets @ 40.73 - two five-wicket hauls
His first series outside the subcontinent and although he's got 90+ wickets now, he's only played 15 Tests. That's unbelievable. The way he bowled in the first Test match with 10 wickets, match-winner, man of the match... he didn't do too well in the next two Tests but this is the quality of him, he came back well when he was needed. The fourth innings at the Oval to draw the series, he got five-for. World cricket now knows who this guy is.
Wahab Riaz - 8/10
10 wickets @ 36.00
I like his attitude. He runs in every ball, gives it 100 per cent. He doesn't have many variations but he has one thing and that's pace - he knows it and he relies on it. He bowled beautifully at the Oval.
Mohammad Amir - 8/10
12 wickets @ 42.41
A massive series for him. A 24-year-old boy coming back after six years, he made a mistake, he apologized and did his time. He's multi-talented, swings the ball and has got the pace. In another couple of months, he'll be back to his prime.
Sohail Khan - 8/10
13 wickets @ 25.00 - two five-wicket hauls
A surprise package, I suppose. He's almost 33 but he burst onto the scene in Pakistan in 2008. He swings the ball, he's very well suited to English conditions and the only thing he needs to improve is his bowling fitness, and that only comes with bowling.

Younis Khan finally ended his lean streak of runs

Younis Khan finally ended his lean streak of runs by scoring 65 runs off 147 balls in the second innings. And those who are criticising his shot, remember he has loads of experience under his belt to play that kind of shot under such circumstances. It just didn't work this time, very rare! I would like to put it as what Misbah Ul Haq said "That's how you score a hundred and that's how you sometime score a duck". The good thing is that he's back among runs going into the second test. He's a legend and always will be! # AUSvPAK
