Fawad was the leading run-getter during Pakistan Academy's tour of Africa in September-October ; he scored not out in a four-day game against Kenya. Presumably that would set Fawad up for a long, illustrious career?
Well, yes, but also very much no. A call-up to a Test tour of Sri Lanka saw him score on debut, but after two further Tests with few runs to his name, he was dropped. That's usually not too big a worry in Pakistan; people keep getting dropped and picked up again almost every other series, but what would happen to Fawad was Kafkaesque in its surreal nightmarishness.
Fawad became one of the most prolific first-class batsmen in Pakistan cricket history, and holds the record for the highest batting average for any Pakistan first-class batter ever. That has been true since , and from the season onwards, no one in Pakistan score more first-class runs. He averaged in the high 50s with 40 first-class hundreds; no batsman on the domestic circuit ever really coming close.
But for the next 11 years, coaches and selectors in Pakistan produced streams of reasons that rendered him ill-suited to the international stage. Batters with decidedly inferior records were called up, enjoyed a few Tests here and there, but the door was firmly shut on Fawad. In this time, he went through a stylistic transformation of his own; his crab-like batting stance means he's side-on, almost facing mid-on, when the bowler runs in, like a Shivnarine Chanderpaul tribute act.
It might look ugly, but the results were phenomenal. Finally, in , Fawad was called up to the national side for a home series against Sri Lanka, fittingly enough, but continued to warm the bench for the best part of a further year. He got his chance in England, and on that long-awaited return, managed only a four-ball duck.
Quality, however, ultimately shines through, and a heroic fourth innings hundred in Mount Maunganui that took Pakistan to within minutes of securing an impossible draw finally marked his return to where he truly belonged: the highest level of the game.
A century in an attritional home win against South Africa followed a month later, and a couple more in Zimbabwe and West Indies in At 35, Fawad's career has a second wind, but he might wonder if he got a fair crack of his first. Most consecutive matches missed for a team between appearances Hundred on debut Highest partnership for the eighth wicket Samiuddin: 'Saddest story' if Fawad doesn't get another chance.
Fawad Alam goes up 34 positions to reach 21st position among batters. The two had come together with Pakistan reduced to 2 for 3, and both hit fifties from there.
