Adnan Akmal | Performance Watch

Should be out of the team, i like because he is amusing but he isn good enough for this level
 
You like him because he's funny? Test match cricket isn't a circus, lol

By the way he's appeals for some ridiculous stuff. Just this over he's appealed twice for blatant not outs. Lol
 
Has been awesome today, Always safe with the gloves(don't remember him ever dropping a catching also couldn't find any clips on YouTube either and he is also exremely gusty with the bat.

Reminds me of Mark Boucher.

yeah i do, i can like him and still want him out of the side.

Rizwan should get a go, a lot of people say he isnt a great keeper but at least find out.

If not Sarfraz should get a chance in Asia

that Afridi guy and Umar Sidqqui maybe in the future could do the job

Lol, ok. Look for adnan dropping cook twice in an over in UAE in 3rd test . Also dropped AB devilliers when SA were here in UAE . He went in to score 160 odd. You seemed to have forgotten them two. Besides the fact that he can't score runs with the bat.

Boucher ???? Lol

I agree with most of your points. Rizwan should be given a go . But I'm afraid he will never be given a chance.

Sarfaraz?Lol

He bats like Chris Martin and Keeps like a part timer
 
:))) Great take, diving forward to catch the bail. What a character man!
 
He hasn't done anything to be criticized in this match so far save for the four byes which is acceptable because that was a difficult ball to take.
 
revisit your previous thread "is Adnan Akmal good enough for Test cricket"
 
Horrible.

Almost missed the stumping, got lucky that Matthews didn't come back in time.
 
So far so good from Akmal. He's a very good wicket-keeper but he has to improve his batting.
 
Shows how mentally strong he is to recover form his last couple of series where he was good but dropped a few:

Hats of to his resilience to comeback in such a solid way
 
He must a stumping though, ultimately it did not cost the team, because of such a fantastic bowling performance, but on another day, could have been costly

he dropped more than a few in those clips. Must be at least a dozen
 
The ABCD drop catch should have cost him his test spot. Only in Pakistan can a keeper who can't even bat, get away with match-losing fumbles and play the next test.
 
I don't think he deserved a chance in this series. He dropped some crucial catches in the last series and was poor all round. This was the perfect opportunity to bring in Mohammed Rizwan.

Yes true . He's dropped literally dozens of catches and made hardly any runs. Just look at his batting average.

Yet people like Waqar younis say adnan is the best in Pakistan. I just hope we never pick Waqar as coach again . He knows very little other than bowling as is evident from his commentary
 
He dropped few catches, and is constantly performing good.

People are yelling at few drop catches as no other pakistani fielder drops the catches.
 
4 catches + a stump in an innings a great performance.

I think others on this forum have short memories. It's why every now and again, people start calling for the return of Kamran, forgetting the torment he has caused. Adnan was as bad as Kamran against SA and that is saying something. People have totally forgotten that and are acting as if yesterday was Adnan's debut.

I was in full support of Adnan before the SA series but after the shocker Adnan had, I can no longer support him. I wonder how many Adnan supporters here would be backing him if that stump out of Angelo Matthews had not been successful and Matthews went on to score a hundred and more. It was Adnan's pure luck that he was able to pull that off in the end because he had unsurprising made a complete mess of it.

If there is one thing Kamran Akmal has taught us is that there is no such thing as a temporary blip in form for a keeper. You can either keep or you cannot. If it appears that the keeper has 'improved' then that improvement is nothing but a temporary mask on serious technical weakness. I have lost all confidence in Adnan and the sooner he is replaced, the better for Pakistan.

Simply the Best...

Yes he is . He's the best of all time in history of cricket . He's also better than gilchrist , Alan knott, wasim Bari , rod marsh, Jeffrey Dujon.

He's even better than kamran akmal too.

that four was one of best i have seen lately should bat at no.4 unfair for him to come so low
 
we can't carry a keeper at # 7 who bats not better then a # 9. A good keeper bat could have been a difference between a lead of 175 and 250.
 
we need a batsman wicketkeeper and he can't bat whatsoever

He just performed well in one game which I remember.He needs to perform now.
 
Seems like he's degraded with the bat heavily over the past couple of years. Really puts pressure on the team when a 7 can't hang around with 5-6.
 
a good keeper batsman can change the game momentum Aus look a different team with Haddin scoring it is not a surprise Prior loss of form coincides with Eng fortunes there is no way Adnan should be persisted even if he keeps like Healy which he doesen't
 
Atleast :sahmed faced philander Steyn in SA therefore horrible stats in Tests while :adnan on UAE roads is still a joke of a batsman
 
This is just disgraceful stuff . Abject failure with bat after appalling displays behind stumps. This is the reason why we never make 500 plus scores in tests. Reason being that our keeper never makes a big score . Despite failure after failure , still selectors pick him. He's never made a century .

Selectors dhoyld be held accountable .
 
To be honest I expect another 5 low scores with the bat. I wonder if its possible to replace him mid series with rizwan
 
This performance just proved non of the akmals can wicket keep , and non of them can bat. Yet between them they are picked in all 3 formats .

Poor is an understatement unless you are talking about his wicketkeeping. His wicketkeeping is poor, but his batting is appalling .

I'm just expecting another string of low batting scores by akmal

Sarfraz at least used to try to hang around . This is just pathetic stuff by adnan
 
If England can drop prior who had a number of test tons and a number of match winning performances with the bat, then why is adnan immune from being dropped. When will our captain realise this????? Wake up Misbah. As if he still hasn't realised why we ever hardly score big in tests. There's never a contribution by the keeper . Even if we loose, he won't replace the keeper . Look at the zimbabwae tests. Adnan was a disgrace there too.
 
Lanka batting with extreme patience. That's what out batsmen should have done. Unfortunately our wicketkeeper does not have the patience to stick it out and be patient.
 
Adnan just said, "One more wicket , one more wicket . It's comming on your ways" lol.

Worst sledging ever. Actually makes the opposition laugh
 
He's a terrible batsman, seems to get the odd 50 every 10 innings. Not good enough.

Ridiculous post. Just go back and watch the matches of the previous two test series we have played.
