Babar Azam versus Shai Hope

Shai Hope’s natural Windies genes coming through for him and still gives him the edge because of power over Bobsy.

Hope takes his time in most cases but the guy can hit it clean when he wants to, and easily clears boundaries.

Bobsy poor lad has no power game. He is a shame to the Akmal family bloodline as both Kamran and Umar were class, clean smokers of the ball.
Funny how Babar has had a far better career than all Akmal brothers combined in spite of being a shame to the family bloodline.

Babar is > the Akmal brothers as a batsmen however it's funny how he's the weakest batter in terms of powerhitting.

Anyone who saw Umar Akmal debut in 2009 was sure that at that time he'd become top 5 pakistani batters of all time.

Dude was a sweet timer of the ball and a natural six hitter, the NZ test match is where he shined through and that remains as one of the best test innings ever played by a Pakistani batsmen.

The problem with Umar was that in 2010 and onwards his form plummeted off a cliff and he never improved. Infact some fans noted that they would frequently see Umar Akmal at KFC restraunts a day before the game. He had a non serious attitude.

Babar on the other hand took his career very seriously until 2021. By 2022 people started observing a pit belly and a lethargic attitude. By 2023 he got worse and worse.

As of 2024, Babar azam is no better then Umar Akmal of 2010-2015.
 
It's hilarious, because he carries all the other akmal genes except this one.

All akmal brothers are talented but lazy who started off as next gen superstars but let their fitness and their desire and hunger for runs fade away and carried that stubborn trait.

Babar is no different, the only difference is that his golden peak lasted longer aka 4 years in total while UA faded away in a year.

Otherwise when it comes to everything else, attitude, fitness, hunger for runs. He's the same as Umar but lacks powerhitting as well lol.

babar was never a power hitter. Shai hope has got that game. He has been fantastic and improved his game recently while Babar as regressed more and more.

Umar was a finished thing by 2015. His career sort of ended around 2014 Asia Cup. Afterwards, he was only a liability. His peak was even shorter and lasted less than a year. He had lost his form during that fateful English summer and afterwards was never the same batter again whether it were excuses or fake injuries (to get Kamran in the eleven), his brain was too small to accept there was something wrong with his attitude.
