But the highlight of the day was the belligerence of Imran Farhat who as usual batted with gay abundance. The left-hander, who helped himself to 17 boundaries, escaped being dismissed for 20 when Karachi skipper Hasan Raza dropped a simple catch at second slip off Test fast bowler Mohammad Sami.

Not really true...there are almost as many chanceless innings, as there are those that start with a life being given to the batsman
I don't see a catch being dropped at 20 a huge deal.
It is a huge deal cause most here see no wickets against Sami's or any bowler's name, and automatically assume he must have bowled bad

.Marooned said:Point being it is quite common for a catch to go down early on in a batsman's inning. I wouldn't say it was an ordinary inning because of that.
We have all seen Farhat play like that before...he is a mini clone of Shoaib Akhtar. He always plays recklessly and never seems willing to learn anything from his mistakes
I used to be a huge Farhat fan but I refuse to follow him anymore cause he is just like any of our younger players...taluunted yet no brain in the head
Sami's performance is a different matter.
It isn't really...Amjid and many here make a joke out of him on a regular basis and I just pointed out that the guy is as unlucky as Bob and Inzi think

Lahoria said:Malik shouldn't even be playing test cricket given his lack of footwork and technique so he especially shouldn't be opening. Farhat and Butt haven't exactly cemented their places but opening with Malik is no better than opening with Kamran Akmal or Razzaq.
Sheikh_Ji said:Would you say Sehwag's and Trescothick's footwork are any better?? Tresco always plays away from his boy just like Malik and Sehwag just doesnt move...and yet both are HIGHLY succesful openning batsman. Sehwag had a 50+ test match avergae.....
So why can't Malik succeed??

Naveed said:Asim Kamal 5 & 0 ---> ouch!
Noddy said:sam had 3 dropped today !
Elan Tedronai said:Sami

which channel were u watching the hilights on?Muddaser said:Noddy bhai is right.
Was watching the highlights yesterday.
I believe Imran Farhat was dropped off his bowling too.
Thats 4 drop catches.
well given 80runs in 26overs isn't bad unlike the one where he gives 80 in 15oversElan Tedronai said:Sami

If you think 21 tests is adequate exposure to warrant the merit of those figures, then you'd be also saying that Shahid Afridi is better than Flintoff as Afridi's test figures are currently better in every respect - batting average, batting strike rate, bowling average, bowling strike rate.Elan Tedronai said:sami sucks as usual.Not suprising.
What a spear head.Average of 47 and strike rate of 87 spanning over 21 tests.
What a dream!
Hash said:since when has Asim Kamal ever performed under extreme pressure?
Hash said:ok so one innings under extreme pressure. Well done Asim!
2ndly....read back through all your posts about Asim Kamal. Honestly it would not surprise me if he is your brother, or cousin or uncle or something because the way you harp on about him it would seem as if we have the next Bradman in our midst.

Nauman said:You should have seen the tantrum which Amjid threw when Noddy gave us news of first test against West Indies but didnt tell us that Youhanna was returning, Amjid thought that Asim Kamal was being dropped, boy were we in for a tantrum
Amjid Javed said:Hash & nauman, tell me what u expect from a new pakistan test batsmen?
i think both of you need a reality check! pakistan isnt full of zaheer abbas`s, javed miandad`s, majid khans etc...
outside of Younis khan, inzamam & MoYo why dont u name me a pakistan batsmen whose set the world alight or shown a great consistancy in tests arena over last 4/5 years??
i nazir, i farhat, t umar, f iqbal, m ul haq, s elahi, y hameed, f adil etc.. the lists endless interms of failures..
Kamal may not be a world beater or a superstar. However in patches hes shown some decent application and heart. Inshallah he will get better!
sadly most fans on here expect every new batsmen playing for pakistan has to score 100 every game and win tests afta test for pakistan...! time to wake up to reality..!
Hash said:don't expect that at all.
I just don't think Asim Kamal is as good as you make out. Like the tantrum you threw when you thought he had been dropped for the WI game. You acted as if dropping Kamal was the most idiotic and painful thing anyone could ever dream of doing. You didn't act as if someone who had 'in patches shown dome decent application' had been dropped. You acted as if Bradman had been dropped!
My opinion on Asim Kamal?
He has shown he has the potential to be a useful test number 6 (eg Mohali) but he needs to show more consistency and also needs to start scoring when the team really needs him to (eg Australia 1st innings when he batted like a rabbit caught in the headlights. He looked terrified. He was refusing easy singles and got out to the most ridiculous shot I have ever seen) and not when the intensity of the opposition is down and the match is already over.

Mercenary said:amjid reacted like bradman had been dropped when taufeeq wasnt included in the test squad for Australia and now he's including taufeeq in his list of failures. what can you say?

(and just to clarify, while it's difficult to substantially say that he's better than Flintoff, I personally would choose Afridi over Flintoff)
shikari said:I think based on form Hasan Raza deserves a chance in the test team ahead of Asim Kamal. On the other hand dropping Asim Kamal seems a bit unfair as he has done a good job at number 6 in test matches. We need to find a way to get both of these guys in. Hasan Raza seems to be in top form these days we need to utilize him and boost his confidence by playing him
Hash said:MATCH DRAWN
Karachi 378 ao
Pak XI 377 for 7 dec
Karachi 216 ao (Imran Tahir 4 for 99, Amin ur Rehman scored 61)
Pak XI 198 for 9 (Sami 2 for 19, Kaneria 3 for 82, Younis Khan 75 and Imran Farhat 44)

Amjid Javed said:Good to see farhat get runs in 2nd inns aswell.
niether taufeeq/s malik did well opening!
Monsee said:Farhat didn't open in 2nd innings...he played down the order
Don't know about you BUT 47 off 117 balls, is not a bad score...I forgot which batsman scored it though
