"Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Akmal are players who can win you matches" : Sarfaraz Ahmed

[Cricketrenew]

For those comments he should be sacked too

 

[Saj]

Need to be patient, helpful and understanding towards Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Akmal, it was their first game in the comeback, its always hard, need more chances to show their calibre

The Pakistani public have been patient for over 370 matches with the pair of them.

 

[Kroll]

Can being the key word, we have yet to see it. Sarfraz should be ashamed of himself for thinking us fans are so thick and gullible.

 

[MenInG]

Time for all three - Umar, Shehzad and Sarfaraz to show up!

 

[adzzy786]

With Tendulkar (Umar Akmal) and Virat Kohli (Ahmed Shehzad) still there we have nothing to worry about

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Ahmed 'Kohli' Shehzad and Umar 'Tendulkar' Akmal )

What a pathetic duo. Shame on you Misbah (and I'm a fan of Misbah).

 

[Saj]

It'll be interesting to see if they are picked for the 3rd T20I.

It'll take a brave or perhaps crazy coach/captain to allow them a third match in the series.

 

[Boycottisno2]

sack akmal and shahzad for good

 

[srh]

Sarfraz has no eye to figure out when a player's time is up Why such a person is our captain?

More pearls of wisdom


"Whether you look at batting or bowling, Sri Lanka played better than us and deserve to be congratulated"

"We will have to look at our game, at our bowling which need some improvements - also there were 2 run outs that we should have executed, if we had taken those chances that may have proved to be the turning point for the match"

"We lost 5 wickets in first 10 overs and when you are chasing 180+ then it becomes difficult"

"Useless is not the word I would use for our bowling, our boys were doing what they could but our execution wasnt that good"

"If you look at the performances of those recalled players then you will see they have good performances in this domestic season and the previous one too, and we wanted to give as many opportunities to players as we could"

End their careers, please. Enough is enough.

Have you ever watched a press conference with PK selectors and coaches? Just watch and you will see who they want in these teams. So they will be around for many years.

Its disgusting. Just watching Sarfraz day before yesterday, and Shehzad today. Destroys you inside as a fan.

These players have no shame.

PK fans in the vast majority see the game differently from many on here.

These 2 couldnt win you matches in Stick cricket

Look at the positives, they were given chances and failed and will be out of the team for at least a few months until ex players and current journalists build up a head of steam for another recall.

 

[classic]

When you are chasing 180 then you have to get the basics right. Fielding was the main reason we lost this match.

SL bowled really well, kept it tight and fielded well too.

 

[Saj]

I wonder which other nation would give such mediocre batsmen so many chances?

 

[Kroll]

The comeback kings in this series:

Innings 4
Runs 17

Mash'Allah where would we be without the dynamic duo and match winners?

 

[Donal Cozzie]

To be fair to Sarfaraz, he never said exactly who'd they'd be winning matches for.

Reminds you of Azharuddin's favourite line at post match conference when asked about the next game - "we will need to bat better, bowl better and field better to win the next game".. indeeed.
