Lahore, Sep 27(ANI): Pakistani batsman Azhar Ali, who scored 291 runs at an average of 26.45 in the recent Test series against Australia and England, feels that he could have done a lot better during the tour.
Azhar's highest score of 92 not out at The Oval had laid the foundations for Pakistan's four wicket victory over England.
In an innings that lasted over four hours, and in which he faced 176 deliveries, the 25-year-old displayed the kind of application and patience, which has made him one of the highly rated batsmen in Pakistani domestic cricket.
"It would be wrong for me to say that I am entirely satisfied with my overall performance in the six Tests in England," PakPassion.net quoted Azhar, as saying.
"I could and should have done better. I tried my best, but some of the wickets and conditions were very difficult for batting," he added.
He said that the conditions made most Pakistani batsmen struggle to master or even negotiate the bowling.
"Conditions were very tough, the overhead conditions and cloud cover made life hard for the batsmen. The pitches tended to be very bowler friendly and it was hard work for all of the batsmen out there in the middle," Azhar said.
The right-handed-batsman further said that the extremely difficult tour has boosted his confidence as a batsman.
"I have made some mistakes and it's up to me to learn from those mistakes, take notice of the errors that I made when batting and to ensure that those errors don't reoccur. Concentration and patience are two key lessons for me from both series," Azhar said.
"The advantage for me is that I have debuted on tough wickets and hopefully going forward when I get the chance to bat on more batsmen friendly wickets, I can utilise my experience in England to ensure that I score heavily on the batting friendly tracks," he added. (ANI)
