Akmal gone as expected!

shame it wasn't Shafiq

the guy is about to burst into tears, don't worry umar, if that hack shafiq can make 13 runs and stay in the game for another 30 games, you will be fine

lets see what Alam does. a lot of pressure on him
 
Umar isn't good enough to bat in the top order, at least in the lower order he adds some value.
 
Need a little time to settle in to play some big shots; this pitch isn't easy as the openers made it to look
Flexibility in batting positions would have come in handy after the first wicket instead of sending two out of form batsmen and stalling the innings
 
Honestly the managment should ask Umar why he played that shot. He knows there is a fielder and he just chips it to him. He didn't try to keep it down, he didn't try to hit it over the fielder so was he trying to hit it straight to the fielder?
 
What will take these batsmen to understand that u don't throw it away once u r set ... After playing out of their skins , Shehzad n Sarfi has left us struggling again. Misbahs run out didn't help either and Omar Akmal is a lottery. Well, u just can't bank on him at all ...

Umar Akmal in last five ODIs: 5, 46, 7, 1, 15. Total: 74 runs, Average: 14.8.
 
Really lacking in firepower Pakistan. Too many one dimensional players. This is why we need Sohaib.

yeah I get that. He just can't build the innings.Not good enough for that I guess. Should be only batting at 6.
 
I honestly question Umar Akmal and his brain.

Perhaps he lost it when he was young.
 
Lols at people comparing Umar to Kohli. One thing is to be out of form and edging it to the slips while playing a defensive shot, but another thing is to play a dumb shot at wrong time. Never seen Kohli get out in this rubbish manner!
 
I am not saying it his fault .... i am just sad he got out. he got settled in and then got out .... I was hoping for his fifty today.

Sorry, I did not mean you, I meant the others. So many people rooting for Asad & Misbah to get out, earlier calling Sarfraz a hack. Pakistani fans (especially on this forum) are the worst. No loyalty.

But best is saying "Just score a single off every ball". If it was that easy, the average score would be 300+. This team did not even score 100 in a 2020....
 
Stats don't reflect these stuff, do they?

The matches where Umar could have grabbed the game by the scruff off the neck, he misses out.
Umar has a lot of runs in dead rubbers or situations where the game has gone. He rarely delivers in tight situations. Which shows he cant handle pressure. Him and Raina talent wise and stata are similar but mentally and temperament wise Raina is in another league. Umar would benefit a lot from playing IPL. And i was mocked for suggesting Umar should model himself on Raina.
 
Geez game over

Shafiq 25 will keep him around for the NZ tour/WC

I guess no Maqsood now ever again unfortunately till after the WC

And Alam should be 3/5
