You forgot to mention one more record and that is scoring six hundreds in consecutive test matches equalling great Sir Don Bradman and Jack Kallis of S.Africa. Definitely Mohammad Yousuf is pride of Pakistan and we are very proud of having him in our cricket team and we believe that he has abilities and talent to perform even better. We Pakistanese and cricket lovers across the globe wish to extend our best wishes to Mohammad Yousuf and the whole Pakistan nation on this wonderful occasion.

It was defenitely a marvellous performance and cannot be described in words. He has already become richer by 65 lakhs cash awards from different sources. I strongly feel that the present records set by him will remain unbroken for many years. Well done Yusuf. Hats off to you. You have made your country and countrymen proud by putting up such brilliant performance.

yousuf youhana is a fluke.. hope he retires after the world cup (which mind u pakistan is going to lose sooooo badly lol),
all these pakistani batsmen only tend to play good is when they are playing on their home grounds on those lame slow pitches.. thats why they get smoked everytime they play in australia, south africa, caribeans..
see what south africa did to them in the champions trophy, made a mockery out of them with those short pitched deliveries..
