Kent v Pakistan | Kent | June 28 - 30 | 3 day tour game

[azk]

a no. 3 batsman for pakistan is essentially an opener.

 

[adnan yasin]

hmm... so i can see another young player is going to be history soon ... if it stays like this

doesnt umar amin wants to play in middle order

 

[*syed59*]

Umar Akmal lights up Pakistan batting ---

Looking ill at ease against a seaming ball, the tourists lost their first three batsmen all to leg-before decisions. Umar Amin (2) played horribly across the line of a Coles off-cutter then Fawad Alam (20) went in the same manner despite the hint of an inside edge against Nel, who was bowling his first over for the county first team since April.

 

[waqar akram]

So this tail can wag, all be it against a 2nd string Kent side. Lets hope they continue to wag throughout the tour.

that word makes so much sense now that youve broken it down into its component bits. no sarcasm here, this is truly an etymologically rapturous moment for me

 

[Easa]

that word makes so much sense now that youve broken it down into its component bits. no sarcasm here, this is truly an etymologically rapturous moment for me

To think I was alone in my enlightenment.

 

[Amir]

Why is Fawad Alam playing the Kent match if he is not even in the test squad or its reserves?

 

[Amir]

Also why did Malik not come at 3? If the man wants to be in the test team and assumes Younus role time to step up.

 

[adnan yasin]

shoaib malik is scared of playing at number 3.... just like kids are scare of darkness

Well, we haven't found a good opening pair in years.

 

[Sakss]

predictions....

around 260-280 i guess

 

[cricfan967]

predictions....

around 260-280 i guess

I have a feeling Azhar will play a big knock.
I predict 240ish.

 

[adnan yasin]

yeah .. 240 something they will score

hopefully fawad and umar amin will get another chance to bat again .. as 3rd and final day will be left .. and t his time they avail the opportunity

doesnt umar amin wants to play in middle order

Yes,He is a middle order player.He can bat well but as an opener,I don't think so.

 

[hashbb]

Should start in 5 mins

 

[Xoib]

Start delayed due to rain.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Yes,He is a middle order player.He can bat well but as an opener,I don't think so.

Umar Amin says he's more comfortable when opening the innings. So basically, the team management has in fact given him a chance to go and play on the number he likes to.

PakPassion.Net: You began as an opener. But later, you started batting in the middle order. What is your preferred position in the batting lineup?

Umar Amin: I have never considered myself as a middle order batsmen and always considered myself as an opener. In National Bank of Pakistan we have three top Pakistani openers in Nasir Jamshed, Salman Butt and Kamran Akmal. So I have had to bat at No. 3 or No. 4 to accommodate the International players. But I am very comfortable batting in any position.

[*syed59*]

They could have given the new ball to Riaz as an experiment. Just to see his ability with it.

 

[khalil1986]

Ball should be swinging

[dhump]

So aamir got a wicket bowled.

MT Coles b Mohammad Aamer 12 28 26 2 0 46.15

 

[hashbb]

butt caught one !

 

[adnan yasin]

UMAR GUL over here using the new ball .. but in international matches i think he should be coming as first change.. he is good with old ball ..

 

[A.M.]

:aamir bowls and takes the catch!!!

 

[Sakss]

o another one gone....

[adnan yasin]

aamir got it ..a agin .... .. BUTT sahab taken a catch

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Shock of the tour, takes a catch.

 

[Shahidumar]

salman butt from my point of view is a good at da slips but panics when it comes to high catches

 

[Poison]

Of the remaining batsmen, Azhar Mahmood averages the highest at 30.00

The second best is in the low 20s. It's a very weak (batting wise, at least) Kent side.

 

[adnan yasin]

They dont want better players to play against us ...

ye bhee sazish hai humaray against

 

[Poison]

Gul gets the third.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok folks, lets not get our expectations high. This is Kent D Side.

 

[khalil1986]

Damn Gul has taken at least 3 wickets bowled two in the MCC game and one here, hope the Gul of old is back.

[Afridi_Fan]

[talha3]

Damn Gul has taken at least 3 wickets bowled two in the MCC game and one here, hope the Gul of old is back.

atleast its provideng Aamer and Umer Akmal to get involved early in the tour might not be a bad thing actually.
