Younis is absolute class when in form.

If only he could play like this consistently in ODIs.
 
46.5 Cusack to Umar Akmal, SIX That's a big hit by Younis, over extra cover

How can someone hit a six from the non-strikers end :S
 
Ideally yes... by being at one end.

Its never a ONE MAN show.... he has to get us as close as he can... with riskless cricket.

We could have AFRIDI in there at that time... Strike rate 120.... but if its HIGH RISK cricket... it will only succeeed one in 10.

At each batting position you need different type of cricketers.

PS: From what I understand (and I may be wrong as I havent followed it all) he wasnt out when he was given.

He got out with 90 runs still needed at 7 rpo, he did nothing to help at all! when he came in we needed 5.5 rpo. Its not like he took us to within 30 runs of our target.
Who said anything about afridi? if misbah wants to play at 60 s/r he should finish the match himself instead of getting out and leaving it to the rest.
He wasnt happy with being given out, who knows if he wass or not
 
:six

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 
46.5


Cusack to Umar Akmal, SIX, outside off stump and Akmal just smashes it over the cover boundary. A huge hit and just what Pakistan needed


:14:
 
47.2 Johnston to Younis Khan, FOUR Lofted over extra cover. Not long now
47.1 Johnston to Umar Akmal, 1 run. That's his 50 to square leg
 
47.3 Johnston to Younis Khan, 1 run. To long-on and he walks the single

comeon 2 more boundaries
 
I'm not saying this because of today but, Umar Akmal has to bat higher up if not open the batting.

You need class players to get a good chunk of the runs (on most days) and the STRIKERS to get you the rest quickly.

Esp when chasing.

If you play RISKY cricket you are MORE LIKELY to lose wickets....

90 runs at 7rpo with 6 wickets inhand... is fine.

Yes it would be better if he got us closer.... he does it more often than not.
 
Well done to Akmal and Younis and it's pretty good in the end that Misbah got out when he did.
 
the only thing good happened in this match was hammad 10 overs, azhar debut and umer fifty. thats all. very risky chase though. i hate slow starts/players.
