He was slogging the ball all over the place, went for another slog and got caught. Live by the sword die by the sword.
Mudassar was right all along and it seem Umar still falls in that trap of giving his wkt away. Half the time he has been out either playing for big shot or trying to be too cute and giving an easy catch. I think only 2 tiimes where bowler beat him with a good delivery only. If he can cut on his mistakes he can be a real asset to Pakistan. Below are his 8 outs in 4 tests with bolded as poor shots:
84.1
Bond to Umar Akmal, OUT, he finds Two-meter Peter in the deep! He bends his knee and chases a pitched up delivery outside off, the ball flies off the top half of the bat and lands down Fulton's throat at deep backward point
Umar Akmal c Fulton b Bond 129 (219m 160b 21x4 2x6) SR: 80.62
63.5
Bond to Umar Akmal, OUT, spooned it back to the bowler! Umar Akmal trudges off and do we have a twist here? Bond fires it full on middle and Umar drives a little too early and ends up chipping it back towards Bond, he cups it to the right of his face
Umar Akmal c & b Bond 75 (222m 174b 5x4 1x6) SR: 43.10
45.1
Tuffey o Umar Akmal, OUT, Tuffey gets Umar! The inswinger and gets it to nip in a little further after pitching, Umar gets forward to defend but is done in by the movement, clips the pads and is bowled through the gate and is bowled
Umar Akmal b Tuffey 46 (57m 48b 6x4 1x6) SR: 95.83
65.6
Martin to Umar Akmal, OUT, what would New Zealand do without Vettori? Bowled it on a length on the off stump, moved across and tried to loft it over the in-field on the off side, mistimed it, didn't get under it well enough, Vettori, standing at mid-off, ran back, stretched, dived to his left and plucked another beauty, almost identical to the catch he took in the first innings but just a little easier
Umar Akmal c Vettori b Martin 52 (49m 33b 6x4 2x6) SR: 157.57
18.2
O'Brien to Umar Akmal, OUT, O'Brien, why are you leaving? short ball gets Umar Akmal this time, short ball 144kmh, Akmal prods at it and gives catching practice to Guptill at gully, another duck, 4.2-4-3-3 are O'Brien's figures, a dream spell
Umar Akmal c Guptill b O'Brien 0 (16m 11b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
163.5
Southee to Umar Akmal, OUT, Umar Akaml is gone! no footwork at all from him as he looks to chop a short ball outside off, only manages to feather it through to the keeper, off the top edge
Umar Akmal c †McCullum b Southee 77 (194m 144b 6x4 1x6) SR: 53.47
60.6
Johnson to Umar Akmal, OUT, caught! shortish delivery, the batsman tries to flay from the crease through the off side, he gets a thick outside edge which is collected cleanly by the Australian skipper at second slip
Umar Akmal c Ponting b Johnson 51 (103m 80b 9x4 1x6) SR: 63.75
45.4
Johnson to Umar Akmal, OUT, caught behind! forward to a fullish ball outside off, he got an outside edge which Haddin dived forward to collect, there's a big shout but the batsman stands his ground and the umpires confer. The question is whether Haddin took it cleanly, after some delay examining several replays, the umpires decide he did.
Umar Akmal c †Haddin b Johnson 27 (37b 5x4 0x6) SR: 72.97
Going to inflict pain on the close fielders instead
for giving away the secret to get Umar out. Even though there's an atom of a chance the Aussies even knew
