Pakistan's Imam-ul-Haq Makes A Name For Himself, Relatively Speaking

Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haqhas shed some of the burden of being the nephew of a legend with a century in each innings against Australia in the drawn first Test. The 26-year-old's uncle is former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, but Imam's exploits in the drawn Rawalpindi Test have now given him recognition in his own right. The pitch may have been a batting-friendly flat track, but Imam still had to show immense concentration and discipline for knocks of 157 and 111 not out. In doing so he became the 10th Pakistan batsman to score a century in each innings of a Test, and only the fourth against Australia, behind former captains Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq and Azhar Ali.
