Mohammad Yousuf's record-breaking year
November 30, 2006
Mohammad Yousuf began the year with a 199-ball 173 against India in a drawn Test at Lahore...
...and set the tone for a year that he would make his own
In the second Test at Faisalabad, he hit 65 and 126 in another draw
After a first-ball duck in the first innings of the final Test at Karachi, Yousuf hit a vital 97 as Pakistan beat India by 341 runs
Yousuf began his tour of England in fine fashion...
...reaching a memorable double hundred at Lords in the first Test
After missing out in the second Test, it was back to business at Leeds...
...as Yousuf struck a fine 192
Yousuf was effortless during the controversial fourth Test at The Oval...
...scoring his third hundred of the series...
...and taking a moment to acknowledge his effort
The juggernaut roled on against West Indies at Lahore, as Yousuf struck 192 in a nine-wicket victory
In the second Test at Multan, he made it 56 and 191...
...but the best was yet to come, as Yousuf picked off consecutive hundreds at Karachi and set the record for most in a year...
...and broke Viv Richards's 30-year record for most runs in a calendar year
Yousuf finished the calendar year with 1788 runs, and rounded off just as he had begun
