The most remarkable thing about his knock was the shots that he played, the boundaries that he picked up (the only really cheeky boundary was the one that got him to hundred) - and the ease with which he picked out singles when the master himself, Shakib, was in all sorts of mess. Oh - and the unnerved manner in which he thwacked Afridi - to get to 96 from 86 in two balls.
This boy has taken up a lot of weight on his shoulders - of expectations of millions. Let's hope and pray that he can carry it off.
Here's a toast - to many more acts of great bravery, to gallant fight-backs in the face of sure defeat *raises imaginary wine-glass*
