ahh Umar Akmal in finally good desiccation and I hope he delivers.
 
There is something to do that, but Broad and Anderson are nothing special with the ball, it was our batsmen that self destruct because they have no temperment, and play premeditated shots

These two are paying patiently, and showing the kind of skill that could keep them on this team for a long time. This is not minnows, its still England.
Finn is still playing who is England's best bowler this series. But you're wrong about broad and anderson. Particularly Broad who is one of the best fast bowlers in limited overs in the world. And has been for most of his career (unlike his recent test resurgence). Anderson's a loss too, but in my opinion he's just a decent ODI bowler.
 
this is pressure of having a good bowler and crap batsman today when broad,swan and anderson are not present our hero's are playing more positive cricket.

Did you forget when these two won us the second test,
 
agli gaind jis ko time nahin kar paye Umar! over the top khailna chahte the lekin gaind ne halka sa edge lia
 
No excuse for Umar Akmal if he throws away his wicket today , It is his chance to show that he wants to play at 4.
 
So is misbah or malik to come next
or may b send afridi up the order never know
 
I'd have sent in malik. Plenty of time and wickets left, Malik's shown to be better higher up the order and generally I'd leave umar playing at the position he's going to play mostly which is five or six.

I don't like Malik being in the team based on the fact that his recent performances have been crap, but I wouldn't have minded giving him a last chance at four or five. If we keep him at six or seven and he comes in, once more it'll be thought to have been pressurised to slog, or hard to stop a sinking ship. He'll just be back in the squad, as people will feel he hasn't had a proper chance. One of the reasons he's still in the squad and the team now.
 
Umar Akmal ne cream ki badi dabeez qisam ki teh lagai hai jis ka maqsad woh khud hi behtar jante hain! shayad inhen apne room mate par itebar nahin tha jo poori sheeshi mal aye hain!
 
Asad Shafiq and Azhar Ali'a hundred run partnership brought much needed stability to Pakistan's troubled batting line up during the first twenty overs of the final ODI between England and Pakistan in Dubai.

The first over did not bode well for the home side as Hafeez was dismissed by a sharp, late outswinger from Dernbach. It took a combination of several fluent strokes from Shafiq and stodgy, nurdling play from Ali to ensure that Pakistan overcame the early loss to reach the hundred run mark within 20 overs at a rate touching 5.

None of the English bowlers, with the exception of the irrepresible Steven Finn, made an impression on the game until a clever, back-of-a-length indipper from Bresnan managed to fox the impressive Shafiq into cutting a ball too close to the stumps, thus ending the young star's action packed half century.

Thia brought Umar Akmal to the crease...
 
7(16) is unacceptable after this kind of start. Golden boy is breaking the momentum here.
 
Azhar ali ki yehi koshish hai kisi tarah single le ke apni fifty mukammal karen!
 
waiting for the moment when U.A makes a 50 today and kisses the helmet so it leaves a green lipstick mark on there. :))) Epic moment!
 
Lol, give umar some air. You know he is more than capable of making good of the ball score difference.
 
qadmon ka istemal kia, ooncha khail dia aur catch de bethe Umar!
 
Umar Akakmal is a flop "Own lack of intelligence" what a way to put it Rambo spot on!

OUT....
