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

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
 
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.
 
"Building the innings" - Rohit showed how it needs to be done..

@Umar Akmal - Take a note of this mate

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.
 
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.
 
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.

Everyone is surpassing Umar, it's a matter of time before Ronchi does too...

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.

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.

I really don't think Afridi's ton has anything to do with any pitch. He always gets himself out. If he doesn't he can score on any pitch

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.

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.

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.
 
Time to move on to Umar vs Raina thread, hopefully it works just in time for Wcup 2015 ;-)

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.

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. they waited tlll the last few overs to go berserk

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.

Person who called him hack is saying rohit is million times better than umar.:)))
 
Reminds me of the movie, Good Luck Chuck!

Umar Akmal is the Good Luck Chuck of PakPassion.

How long are you going to hope some batting miracle from Afridi. He is a decent bowling all rounder who happens to be a hit and miss slogger at best today. And cost you one ODI in current series already when he skied 350+ ODI worth of experience along with that inane shot and lost a lot of respect.

I would rather hope things from Shezad, Akmal and the linkes who actually have potential than likes of Afridi.

On this ground the Indian fielders would have to be in the crowd to catch the ball after bowling the full toss.

:))) Yeah.. As if people have only started watching cricket since yesterday. We all know how well he plays.. WC T20 2007 and WC 2011.. Both time against India and in crucial crucial matches. And tale of Full tosses. :))

The level of posting of yours truly is exposed.

When Rohit strikes the ball and completes a double.. Oh the ground is small, oh the bowling is substandard etc etc.

But when afridi strikes blindly and gets few shots, majority of pakistan viewers attain absolute Nirvana and call him a beast and the best.

Dunno when will some people realize they are making a fool of themselves by posting such rubbish.

Aussies bowling isnt the worst.ours is

so by that logic Aussies should win today with Finch making 200+
 
How can u compare sublime graceful batting of rohit to hack of a slogger like umar that too without any brains....its like comparing a Rolls Royce to a farm tractor....
 
Ooooh, nelly.
I'm not saying that Akmal would emulate Rohit's success if he batted at 3, but I would still like to see that.
 
people seem to forget that Sharma is a few years older and in that time was carried by india for a 100 odis despite averaging in the low 30s. No doubt he is more talented, i have always mainted that, nor do i think Umar akmal will ever play such an innings, but thing comparison was warranted for most of the time.
 
Rohit is far too classy, watch him bat he doesn't go bonkers and hit monkley shots. The guy was playing test class cover drives after 150+ and those sixes were smooth as silk.

Half century? We demand national holiday when legend batsman scored 24 runs and flood the twitter and Facebook pages.
 
Given up on umar when guys like sharma kholi etc have progressed so far
 
Beastly innings from rohit, say what you like it was a double hundred for gods sake

Rohit Sharma vs Umar Akmal [Merged]

What next. Umar Akmal vs Jadeja??
 
Indians used to pick on Rohit Sharma when he was 23.

Anything is possible in cricket.

Umar now averages 37.22 & Sharma averages 36.73
When Rohit scored 200 in ODI with proper cricketing shots and not a single slog they said flat paata pitches helped him.
And when Umar slogs and score 20-30 runs they say he is more talented then anyone and Misbah & coach are the reasons for his failures :afridi
 
There is a lesson for Umar Akmal (and the Pak team management) in Rohit's turnaround.
 
talent with brain he knows how to builds innings.he never complain like u akmal for batting postion.
A Big lesson for u akmal i hope he is watching rohit batting with tailender
and learn how to build inning.he always make excuses
 
Now 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.

Good day to pop in, cars. :91:
 
Umar Akmal can sqaush Rohit with a mere look. Also the neon lipstick helps. Did you see Rohit running away when he saw the ultimate specimen known as Umar Akmal walking onto the pitch?

actually I hear the reason teams dont come to pakistan to play us is because theyre afraid of Umra Akmal. You indians have no chance against this guy.lol..
 
Umar is so bad he doesn't even feast on our trund army like Salman, Malik, Jamshed used to. :facepalm:

Living 4 years ago.

Remember Afridi smacking 100 off 37 balls in Kenya. That was great too.

And a couple of others some decades ago.
 
Close this thread, Umar never had the talent to hold Rohit's jock forget about the mindset........... Rohit Sharma India's Inzi has arrived......

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.

From Crickinfo match report
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.

Umar played well back then, but has done downhill since. And again it was a flat deck too.

Rohit was seen as much useless as Umar Akmal is being seen right now. You never know how fates change. I urge Pakistan fans not to lose hope.

Well no surprises there. University Oval is a flat track with a history of drawn games, barring the one where Akmal scored that 100 (Pakistan lost) and one where the home side trounced a hapless Bangladesh.
 
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.
 
Umar Akmal has age on his side. If he has the talent, he will come good.

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.

Ishant has everything to be a very good bowler , the best I have seen coming out of India for some time in terms of armory. I don't know why he prefers bowling short , I think the fast bowlers who are tall think that their best delivery is to bounce out batsmen. He bowls it bowl wide to give more pleasure to the batsmen. Coaches need to work on his short and wide bowling problem. Whenever he bowls straight and fuller , he becomes a different bowler altogether.
