It has been one of the most senseless and aimless innings by Khurram ,.....trying to go Afridi rout..
 
2 drops, another 1 nearly caught by the keeper

all over the place

that izzatullah was in world cup looked a half **** bowler then bowling 60-70 mph

only decent bowler looks like that daulat zadran.

they had another one shapoor zadran?
 
Pakistan 63/2 in 8.5 overs...

Lol at Yahya Hosseini calling Khuram's innings shandaar(fabulous):))

Umar Amin's way of getting out was not much pleasing either..Could not handle a 70mph bouncer at Qaddafi Stadium Lahore's pitch

because he played some nice shots, where as umer over rated amin got for a duck :))
 
It is hazy and partly cloudy in Lahore....Perhaps Amin could not locate the ball,as the lights were off at that time..:))...

I mean how the highest scorer of the season look so ugly against a trundler
 
:four punched between cover and point, beautiful shot by Umar again
 
Now Akmal is looking so pleasing batting..You can see the difference from the rest of the batsmen....

He needs to spend more time on crease..

I believe the only major flaw(technical,not mental) in Umar Akmal is that he is not excellent in leaving the ball ,does not know his off stump well, thats why he shuffles too much across some times...It is my humble opinion after watching him for so long

And then he brags about his domestic performances. Have had enough of these rookies.
 
:four flicked from the middle of the stump voww...


UA barring that edge looking good.
 
Needs to get rid of this third man shot on a sporting wicket..This shot even cost Yousuf's wicket number of times
 
:four smashed through the covers...it went like a rocket..

Umer Akmal giving something to the crowds.
 
lol nearly edged to second slip

No, he played intentionally...though it was a stupid intention..I hate this shot..Yousuf gifted away his wicket many times in his career playing this shot...

Even if it was a genuine edge then where were you when Manzoor was edging every other delivery....?
 
umer playing good..good sign for pakistan for odi series against SA

Our people get too excited too early.....That will be altogether a different ball game..Will not be given so much loose stuff...

He always gives good signs.....Against Africa he will have to conentrate on strike rotation than boundaries
 
It is nothing surprising to see Umar playing some excellent shots....But whether he is ready to give some value to his wicket, is yet to be seen..

A batsman of Umar's calibre has nothing to gain from playing against Afghanistan,he needs more first class games to improve his conversion rate from 30s,40s and 50s to 100s
 
Umar Amin can bowl as well, 3-4 overs can quite handy from him .

if thats the case then he is not ready at all! he tried to give away his wicket.

Umar Amin has been in great form, was one of the best player in President trophy and has been excellent in QA as well.


deserve to get selected for SA ODI series

Averaging 56 in the Quid e Azam trophy with the 60s Sr. I think he's giving value to his wicket where it needs to be..also scored a match winning 70+ in the President trophy final so he's doing well in domestic cricket..and you can't stop him from playing shots..that's his natural game..

He was talking about 100s but fair point

you can't score much hundreds batting at 5,6 especially in Pakistan team where your tail starts from #7..just look at Misbah..even though he averages close to 50 after so many games but has only 3 hundreds I guess..

I know very well about his averages....this is because he seldom gets out on a single figure score......He got out on 37,52 and 77 and with one hundred of 107 in 5 innings ......


That is not bad effort and probably he is better than some guys who are in South Africa currently but still i would like him to stay on the wicket a bit longer and convert these 30,50 or 70 into hundred....
He is good enough to play in any Pakistani side but he can be even better and become world class by working on couple of areas....

In first class games he is batting mostly at 4.....

I hope he turns to LCCA ground tomorrow to play against Karachi Blues in super eight match than coming here...and if selectors have any sense left in their heads he should be sent to LCCA ground than Qaddafi stadium..He has proved his form ,now there is no point to play him against Afghans..

Ali Waqas could replace him for tomorrow's match..
