Bigstar Players : Shoaib Malik : About Me
Shoaib Malik
Profile: Shoaib is one of the most exhilarating batsmen in world cricket, with his expansive range of strokes, best illustrated during his innings of 82 from 41 deliveries in a one-day international against a strong South Africa team in Lahore in 2003. He struck six fours and as many sixes during that match-winning stay. He gives Pakistan versatility in that he has batted all through the middle and lower-order as well as opening in a Test match in the Caribbean, scoring 64. Since the legality of his bowling action was cleared by the ICC in May 2005, Shoaib’s off-spin provides another crucial option to his captain in both forms of the game.
