Get him in the test side!

Indeed. He hit 7 sixes.

Better than slowpoke Azhar!

 

[Abdullah719]

Better than slowpoke Azhar!

Forget Umar, Wahab is a better batsman than Azhar right now. But I back him to turn it around.

On a serious note, this was a very important innings for Umar. He has been shuffled around a lot in the order and it seemed that he might be close to getting dropped by TKR. This knock should give him some breathing space.

 

[dauntless]

Umar played a brilliant knock so happy for him he should be given a chance in Odis and t20is

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

This is what you call a clutch knock, take a bow.
