- Despite starting as an off-spinner, Shoaib is now a very useful hard-hitting top order batsman good enough to have scored five One Day International centuries.

- He is able to hit the big shots, but is also able to score runs at a slower rate, which has resulted in him opening the batting in a number of Test Matches.

- Despite a respectable batting average of 33.52, he has yet to score a Test century.

- He has twice been reported by the ICC for a suspected illegal bowling action and has played primarily as a batsman for the past year.
