Sure - if Umar & the management thinks he is capable of it I'd quite like to give him a run up the order
See the problem is here we have a 2 different kind of posters:
Group 1: Claiming Sarfraz batted poorly and Umar would have got us to a bigger score - I'm sorry but there is nothing to suggest that UA would have done better than 46 in 32 balls - however, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that he would have done poorly
Group 2: People suggesting that at 85/3 we had a good base and we should have sent an 'explosive batsman' - Again, I'm sorry but 85/3 in the 12th over isn't a time to send an 'explosive batsman' or a pinch hitter IMO
See now if someone was to say what you are saying - I could get on board with that. What you are saying is that Umar Akmal should be given a run up the batting order which is fair enough. However, in doing so to criticise the way Malik and Sarfraz batted on this pitch or to say that at 85/3 you should send in a pinch hitter is just absurd in my opinion.
) I remember before going out for lunch that when we got 160, some people were crying that we're short! I told you guys anything above 150 and it's our game!
haha
Hasan you're better than that
YES!!
