If nothing else, it shows our current crop of batsmen have better fitness, endurance, and longer span of concentration than previous crops.
Junaid, Nafees, Nayeem, Hom etc. are not current crops. All of a sudden, this year there is a flood of centuries and double centuries. The bowlers became crappier in year? The batmen just improved in one year?

My inclination would be the pitches became flatter in one year. Probability of this happening is higher than the other two. The run fest is unreal.
