For me it’s Azhar Ali
Highest average in the tests
Highest individual score in the tests
Most amount of time at the crease in the tests
Most amount of runs in the tests by a long way
One of 4 players from Pak who made a 50 in the one day series & bear in mind this was effectively his debut one day series
Highest average by Pak batsmen in the one day series with a 58 & 31 in 3 innings, the only Pak batsmen to average in excess of 30
Cook was phenomenal in the ODIs, but was dismissed in single digits 4 times out of 6 during the tests, but didn’t do enough where it mattered in the whites
KP was woeful in the tests, but back to his best in the shorter formats
Misbah was pretty good throughout & regularly amongst the runs in all 3 formats, but Azhar wins this one
The tests carry greater weighting & Azhar was the stand out performer with the bat, but Azhar also did well & produced the goods in the one day format & showed that he can adapt his game to the shorter formats as a technically sound top order batsmen
