The cricket forum PakPassion, has interviewed Yasir Hameed, the middle-order batsman who has slipped off the international radar after a spectacular Test debut, against Bangladesh in 2003, when he scored two centuries to become only the second player to do so.
I'm grateful to Allah that I got a century in each innings on my debut but I agree with you that it does end up creating an unrealistic expectation. To be truthful, I'm very disappointed in my performance in international cricket so far as I've missed out on 12 international centuries. I feel that if a player gets past 50 runs in an innings then it's a crime for him not to convert that score into a century. If you're in good enough form to score 50 runs, then you owe it to your team and to yourself to make your form count and get a really big score.
