Umar is slowly becoming an afterthoughtAmazing innings . Rohit Sharma is classy. Umar Akmal is not half of what Rohit Sharma is now today.
I doubt if he'll even score another century again.

He wouldn't because he doesn't have the temperament to see off good balls and build an innings. Two dot balls and he would have thrown his wicket away while Rohit was playing maidens after maidens
He can't score a ton against Namibia.I am 100% sure Afridi can score a Ton against this Indian/Australian attack considering the size of the ground, the dead pitch and the lightning fast outfield.

I meant that he would have thrown his wicket away.
Not really, Indians have had Afridi's numbers since a while. Heck he has been getting out to full tosses to our bowlers so don't think how you can make those claims
Captain won't promote him"Building the innings" - Rohit showed how it needs to be done..
Umar Akmal - Take a note of this mate
Please don't insult Rohit by comparing him to a hack who is only good at dancing at the weddings.
Give it up mate.Umar needs to grow out of this 30s and 40s and start contributing. He had an opportunity to get 70 or 80 yesterday and he blew it.
Captain won't promote him
Pakistani fans have started crying as usual. Wicket is flat, bowling is poor, boundaries are short bla bla bla.
On the same wickets, our batting will not remotely do what India has done. I guarantee you.
But he would though have a good chance of scoring a ton here than anywhere else.

Pakistani fans are still living in the 80s and 90s when we used to dominate India. they are still in deep sleep or coma and hard time accepting the fact, India is a power house of one day cricket.
You tend to play differently when given a different role, Umar played that shot because he was in the powerplay and couldn't get it away.Will it really bring about any change? He had 15+ overs yesterday and also wasn't batting with the tail. What did he do? Threw it away. Putting him into top order might only make it woeful for Pakistan as more often than not he will get out cheaply.
Its clear that Statistics375 didn't watch the innings. Rohit Sharma played a very sensible knock and didn't play a single rash shot, Also, he played many dots and maidens.
He chose whom to target and it was an exceptionally well crafted innings. A perfect example of how you build an innings.

I want to see him given a proper run at 4 for 2-3 series before saying anything, he's got something, he just needs to bat responsibly.
That's India they're high on confidence, Pakistan aren't.Today when India had lost wickets, both Dhoni and Sharma scored a grand total of 22 runs in 5 power play overs. Hardly 1 or 2 boundaries.
Full toss says Hi .. :
Any bowler can bowl it and there goes thuss thuss.
I have seen some of the Pak fans here calling him Hack and all those names just because he had rough first 3 yrs of international cricket. Funny thing is, same guys calling Umar Akmal one of the top players in the world /UAkmal a far better batsman than Rohit/ etc.,. BD and Mamoon are some of those guys who mentioned in other threads.
I am sticking with what I mentioned then, Rohit is the best young talent in the world cricket currently. He can play on any kinda surface. he has the technic. Umar Akmal is a big slogger if you compare him with Rohit. UAkmal has very limited strokes and most of them on the on side. UAkmal can only dream about playing like Rohit at the top of the order. I have seen UAkmal playing the new ball. He was horrible. PCB rightly have him at no 6. He is good against old ball against tired bowlers.
He still has his best record against India, and you never know with Afridi.
But he would though have a good chance of scoring a ton here than anywhere else.
On this ground the Indian fielders would have to be in the crowd to catch the ball after bowling the full toss.
I watched it it was a good innings, but you also have to consider the size of the ground,pitch and the outfield not to forget the Australian bowling attack.
Can't rate it much more than a good innings, but that is just what i think.
Reminds me of the movie, Good Luck Chuck!
Umar Akmal is the Good Luck Chuck of PakPassion.
Time to move on to Umar vs Raina thread, hopefully it works just in time for Wcup 2015
Yes and they have created a million excuses to hide behind the frailties and mediocrity of this team.
Make India bat in UAE and see how they perform.
Our standards have dropped so much that we are satisfied with batsman scoring half centuries. Indian batsman only start to warm up after scoring 50.
The level of delusion among Pakistani fans is so high.
Half century? We demand national holiday when legend batsman scored 24 runs and flood the twitter and Facebook pages.
This is the series for Umar, he either makes a move or he's done I feelGiven up on umar when guys like sharma kholi etc have progressed so far
)What next. Umar Akmal vs Jadeja??
Say Thanks to umar akmal you ungrateful Indians
) btw now rohit miles ahead now so no comparisonNow Rohit Sharma has more test centuries than Umar Akmal too.
Rahane up next.
these u akmal threads do wonders to indian batsman's.... who's next?
Ajinkya Rahane, the replacement at #4.
Or even Jadeja if we want to turn on our troll modes.
Give me a scorching hundred against Shane Bond away from home on a fiery New Zealand greentop over some mickey mouse runs against a second rate team on third rate pitches any day.

A 34-year-old fast bowler, returning to Test cricket after two years, and a 19-year-old debutant lit up Dunedin's University Oval on a windy day, at the end of which New Zealand were better placed in the first Test. Finally back in New Zealand whites, hurling that red thing in anger on a flat pitch, Shane Bond - with pure pace - rattled the Pakistan middle order during a seven-over spell of 3 for 25. In reply, Umar Akmal launched a counterattack after Pakistan were 85 for 5, impressing with his dazzling strokeplay and clear head, scoring a 160-ball 129 to help his team avoid the follow-on.
when was that exactly? 4-5 years ago I guess. Whats he done since then?
And that was no greentop, it was a flat deck.

Umar played well back then, but has done downhill since. And again it was a flat deck too.
It took rohit sharma more than 6 years to find his feet !
A year ago he was very ordinary. Good on him that he has finally come good.
True that, however, I think he should have made his test debut earlier.
But his reemergence is Dhoni's brilliance of asking him to open which was a great idea.
Yes, Dhoni is very good with the upcoming talent. Jadeja haas been dissed off by fans many a time but dhoni kept his faith in him and he is coming good as well. Amazing how a good captain affects the young minds.
Hope that happens to Ishant as well.
