[Sledger]

What a day Umar Akmal has had!

Game is done.

 

[ZAK]

Well done Jr. :umarakmal

 

[The Slogger]

is Akmal the best fielder Pakistan has ever had or what?

 

[anakwalajinn]

scoring less than a strike rate of 70 in one-days is not acceptable... unless u r on perth, australia pitch or smth...

he put more pressure on hafeez in that partnership cuz of his super slow innings, .. hafeez was sublime today, despite misbahs slow efforts

I understand your point. But at that stage we were 50/3 and a partnership was required. Although I agree on the fact that he could have upped the tempo a little earlier by rotating the strike much more, but his innings was quite acceptable today if you look at the whole picture - That he built the platform for Umar & Afridi

 

[Crucifier]

Umar Akmal you beauty. He has just won us the game. McCullum is run out by a smart piece of fielding from Umar. Direct Hit and McCullum looks angry.

 

[taxzu]

looks like its junior's day today. What has he eaten today

 

[Batman]

Brendon gone

 

[Khabri420]

[pakbl10]

[The Slogger]

[anakwalajinn]

is Akmal the best fielder Pakistan has ever had or what?

I remember a few series ago when he dropped a couple of catches people were really having a go at him

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Anakwaaljinn you asked a question what is long hop...here's the answer:

A long hop is a type of inadvertent delivery in the sport of cricket. It describes a short delivery which is not especially fast, which is thus easy for the batsman to hit because he has plenty of time to observe the speed and direction of the ball after the bounce and choose his shot accordingly.

 

[Crucifier]

Replay showing Umar Akmal going absolutely crazy after getting McCullums Run Out, Good Stuff.

[kaalakawaa]

Younis being complacent now

 

[anakwalajinn]

Tim Janoobi can also hit the ball a long long way...

 

[cricfan4ever]

a Sensational return to form for Junior!!!!!!!!!!!!

Youngsta Beauty!!! Super Catch & a Brilliant Run out to go with his swashbuckling 44!!!

:umarakmal

 

[Crucifier]

I remember a few series ago when he dropped a couple of catches people were really having a go at him

In tests, yes I remember. Behind point in the gully region I think. Probably down to nerves since he was new in the international arena.

In the T20 WC he took 2 FORWARD diving catches which were absolutely stunning. Very hard to dive forward and catch the ball cleanly. Let's not forget that EPIC runout he got on the midwicket boundary when he got the batsman out with a direct hit from the boundary edge. Ever since then I've considered him to be one of our best fielders.

 

[Blitz]

Tough chance.

for anakwalajinn...he kept asking this question a lot of times but nobody replied..i just noticed that.

 

[kingusama92]
