International 12th Man
The ratings, my style.. starting with Pakistan, the winners, the best player automatically gets 10, and he is the reference for the other ratings.
10 = Rana Naved Ul Hasan- Bowled with alot of heart and made the most of the pitch in almost every game. Gave Pakistan the ideal start almost all the time, and removed the dangerous Sehwag 4 times.
9 = Inzamam Ul Haq - Was Extremely steady wtih the bat, and steered the team to victory on a number of occasions. Ran the hard singles he's not known for, and never let pressure get to his batting.
8.5 = Shoaib Malik - After a poor start to the series, he came good when it mattered the most. He was, along with Inzi, the rock of the pakistani batting. Bowled a few innocous overs, but his batting revealed a cool customer who can handle any situation.
8.5 = Shahid Afridi - After another poor start to the series, he made a mockery of the indian bowling and set pakistan off to a blistering pace in the remainin matches, includin the innings of the series, the 100 off 45 balls, which virtually ripped the hearts out of the indian team for the next match.
8 = Salman Butt - Provided very solid starts for the pakistani's in most matches, but was overshadowed by afridi. Looks a very very good prospect.
7.5= Yousuf Youhana - Played some handy innings and a few brief cameo's. Was excellent in the field throughout the series.
7.5 = Abdul Razzaq - Was extremely solid with both bat and ball.
7 = Mohammed Sami - Bowled extremely well, but without much reward. Seems to have taken the next step up. Missed the final 2 matches through injury
6 = Arshad khan = Didn't play all the games possible, but when he was called upon, he did a magnificent job, and after kaneria's failure in the odi's, has possibly got himself a spot in the team for the next series.
6 = Kamran Akmal - Did an alright job behind the stumps and failed to impress with the bat, despite opening the batting in one game.
6 = Rao Iftikhar Anjum - Played only 2 matches, and although didnt take many wickets, he took the all important one of Tendulkar in the final odi. He was tight throughout his overs not conceeding very many runs.
4 = Younis Khan - Made a good 40 in the final match, and captained well, didn't do much else throughout the series, though he was batting well down the order and missed the first 2 matches through sickness.
4 = Mohammad hafeez - Failed to impress with neither bat or bowl. Showed he has some potential but hasn't done much. Dropped a crucial catch in the 1st or 2nd odi (cna't remember) off sehwag, who went on and made a match winning century.
3 = Danish kaneria - The highly respected Leg Spinner in the test matches, was mauled by the indian batting when it came to the one dayers. Played two games, and did nothin in both. Will probably be labelled as a test only player now.
