lol @ guys going at Misbah..

It's not like Akmal is thrashing the ball...

both are struggling.

 

[Strike Rate]

[MENTION=135445]Strike Rate[/MENTION] I lost.........

But that bowl was supposed to hit Umar Akmal's stumps.. he survived

leave ifs and buts for some other time tell me where is the money i won

 

[adnan yasin]

last weak over

then 9 overs will be bowled by pacers

 

[waleed88]

There are big boundaries btw.
Pakistani fans stupidity is beyond words

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Today's innings further validates the notion that he should be batting higher up the order. He usually does well when he has some overs to play with.

Really?? does he ??

 

[Watsupdoc]

What a shot from Umar!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Misbah is ruining such a good knock.

SR should not be decreasing at this stage....

 

[waleed88]

90m boundaries.
England only hit 15 in their time.

Great over so far!

The jury is still out on that, the pressure of batting up the order as a proper batsman generally induces brainfarts for Junior.

 

[uberkoen]

Misbah smashing them around just for fun.

#class #legend

 

[LegendInzi]

England taking it soo seriously. Its just a warmup. Come'on

 

[#GreenRoars]

star sports
or watch online crictime.com

 

[shah_1]

Umar Akmal need to stop slogging, he looks so bad when he tries to

 

[Strike Rate]

I hope Misbah remain the highest scorer now the way its going right now Junior may endup with more runs in less balls and misbah strike rate will keep decreasing

 

[imshally81]

11 Runs in last over

 

[uberkoen]

Agreed. The only thing I would change in this batting lineup is Kick Younis out and promote Maqsood up the order. That will give us one free spot to maybe play another all rounder or whatever. Otherwise, out batting line up isn't all that bad.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Pakistan should have this in the bag no troubles

 

[Dr_Bassim]

How are they struggling Doc? What match are you watching Pakistan are cruising at the moment mA.

Cruising, and struggling against Anderson...

 

[GreenKnightRises]

66 from 54 needed with 6 wickets in hand. Only team Pakistan is capable of losing this from here

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

what a hit

raw talent, raw power says :ramiz

 

[#GreenRoars]

bang

 

[Strike Rate]

is it only me or Jordan looks funny in his run up? i find his run up funny

 

[Big Mac]

Brilliant shot

 

[Strike Rate]

Pakistan should have this in the bag no troubles

told you guys we will do it before the start of innings when everyone was talking about 0 chances of pak chasing 250 against england attack

 

[#GreenRoars]

madakmal

 

[razabbas]

shabash akmal shabash

 

[GreenKnightRises]

uAkmal is trying his best to get out

 

[Barragan]

The jury is still out on that, the pressure of batting up the order as a proper batsman generally induces brainfarts for Junior.

How did you reach that conclusion?

he has only played 1 innings at no. 3 and 4 or 5 at no. 4,which were all sporadic and not in a row.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Great shot

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Umar seems to get bamboozled by slower balls quite a lot.

 

[shah_1]

Umar Akmal is such a frustrating batsman to watch

 

[Strike Rate]

Cricinfo today have some real issues first Kamran was batting and now they are showing last over was by Jordan lol he is bowling this over

 

[Yatoo]

One thing is for sure. Everyone here loves Junior even though the comments sometimes suggest otherwise due to the brain farts of junior

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Now one wonders why cant Umar Akmal play like this more often....

 

[uberkoen]

This one's in the bag for Pakistan.

Becoming good at chasing targets now. Let's keep this up lads.

 

[Big Mac]

and he follows it up with the blind slog of a tailender, fortunate not to be out. You've just taken six off the first ball, just take a single off the next and keep the pressure on. For every moment of genius, there is a moment of idiocy and that's why he's not trusted to bat higher up the order

 

[Pete Rose]

Thoughtful bowling by England despite solid batting by Pakistan.

 

[waleed88]

Good words from Atherton 'the game is Pakistan's to lose'

 

[Dr_Bassim]

2 Anderson overs and Pakistan should have this in the bag....

 

[NZcricketfan]

told you guys we will do it before the start of innings when everyone was talking about 0 chances of pak chasing 250 against england attack

And why? Because of the guy pakistani fans seem to hate called misbah.

Really going to miss him when he retires

 

[dhump]

Time to retire out for Mard e haq

Why ???

 

[yasir]

Now one wonders why cant Umar Akmal play like this more often....

He has quite a few brain farts in this innings as well. Even in this innings his defense was very weak. You cannot be a batsman with such a weak defense and nerves.

 

[Strike Rate]

Now one wonders why cant Umar Akmal play like this more often....

I wondered my whole life how Imran Nazir wasted all that talent i wish he had some smart brain cells.

 

[desi_launda]

good confidence boosting win for Pakistan

 

[uberkoen]

Where are all those Misbah haters now?

 

[RehanG]

This one's in the bag for Pakistan.

Becoming good at chasing LOW targets now. Let's keep this up lads.

fixed

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Now one wonders why cant Umar Akmal play like this more often....

Because he keeps getting dropped after a few bad games.

 

[Strike Rate]

And why? Because of the guy pakistani fans seem to hate called misbah.

Really going to miss him when he retires

Well i don't know what those fans think but to me team matter more than players

 

[Watsupdoc]

Misbah finally gets it away!

 

[uberkoen]

target target hota hai. Low ho ya phir high.

 

[#GreenRoars]

woow missi

This mate and and this guy will never learn.

 

[Pete Rose]

Is that elusive century coming today.

 

[MarkCooper]

This loss doesn't count because it's National Be Kind Week in England so they are letting Pak win

 

[H2O1]

 

[Pete Rose]

Because he keeps getting dropped after a few bad games.

I think you know better than that.

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Sam18696]

Where the haters at?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

iIt would be interesting to see if these Warm up bullies can repeat the same in the real games

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

:umar wants the hundred , might miss out even in warm up

 

[adnan yasin]

i was expecting jordan will face this kind of bashing from umar akmal

now england will be in thinking mode what to do

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This loss doesn't count because it's National Be Kind Week in England so they are letting Pak win

I know you are joking, but Finn would have made it a much tougher test for Pakistan.

 

[uberkoen]

This loss doesn't count because it's National Be Kind Week in England so they are letting Pak win

Oh wow. It's the national Smack Them Brits week in Pakistan so this victory is going to be extra special for us.

 

[Red Devil]

Because he keeps getting dropped after a few bad games.

And because he's usually positioned to bat at #7

 

[Big Mac]

Is that elusive century coming today.

I think he's scored a century in a warm up/tour game before

 

[NZcricketfan]

Seems about time for another golden age of pakistani batting thread

 

[Shafi]

Is there any way YK can be dropped and Haris, Akmal and Maqsood can play in the squad? Sad to see shameless and selfish YK occupied the spot without performing.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Akmal should really stop jogging down the pitch to fast bowlers. Just stand and deliver.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Umar looks in a hurry to finish...

 

[EngrOmair]

Where are all those Misbah haters now?

SHEHZADA

 

[Strike Rate]

Anyone remember Junior coming down the crease and hitting Morne Morkel for a straight SIX that was pure timing no effort at all i think that was the best SIX of his career.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Because he keeps getting dropped after a few bad games.

And he keeps getting dropped because

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I think you know better than that.

Not really, I know he's not the smartest of batsmen, but he's one of the few who can cope with top class bowling and score fast runs against it. Pakistan just doesn't have any quality alternatives. I'm pretty sure the opposition would prefer him to be left out in the world cup.

 

[Yatoo]

I think he's scored a century in a warm up/tour game before

Against Bangladesh last world Cup
