Hameed does appear to be the type of top-order batsman that Pakistan seeks; he is compact in defence, handles the moving ball well using his feet to cover the swing and is judicious in his stroke production.
It must not have been an easy decision for the Pakistan team-management when Hameed was picked ahead of the more exciting Imran Farhat when the decision to include Afridi as an opener for the second ODI was taken.
If Kaif and Hameed have soared, notwithstanding the burdens and expectations of an India-Pakistan series, the young bowlers have also put their hands up at the crunch too.
