Pakistan open the batting in tests with Malik who scored a fine 100 against SRL & Imran Farhat played well in both innings so does Pakistan persist with him or should they continue changing????

P.S-Poll once only

Infact you need to have three in the running , another very talented player is taufiq Umer which is not included in the list, Yasir Hameed has been given a few chances, he can come back in ODI but for test matches a choice should be between Salman butt, Taufiq Umer and Imran farhat to partner a right hand batsman shoab Malik, for ODI I would still go for Imran farhat with salman butt or Yasir Hameed with salman butt.

It should defin. be Malik and Farhat. Both are great aggressive players, hence both score runs at a quick pace. Butt has been given way too many chances, its his fault he could not make the most out of it.

Against India, he scored 100, 0, 0, 13. (not sure bout the last score!)

Farhat has a better technique and can play great shots, Butt is not aggressive but Farhat is!
