What's new

The fly KAMI in thread....

A talented batsman, but his apparent lack of fitness, dedication and honesty would make him way out of place in the unified and professional Pakistan outfit of the last year or so.
 
If batting alone is your criteria & If Kamran Akmal is the ONLY hope for you, than I think we should have Mohammad Yousuf as WK batsman in the team... :runaway:

M Yousuf surely wont do worse job as Akmal in Wicket keeping, but he is definitely class apart in batting even at this age :)
 
If you don't give new keeper enough chances to prove himself then you are never gonna find a good keeper. Sarfraz needs to be persisted with, he looked decent for first few ODIs, I am sure if you give him chances he will improve.
 
Kamran's 1st 2 ODI performances: 24(12), 24(21)
Adnan's 1st 2 ODI Performances: 27(32), 24(33)
 
If Sarfaraz is the best Keeper-batsman in domestic circle then may be if not then I would say try anyone before Kamran Akmal.
 
if you talk about Kamran Akmal... returning... Pakistan might as well play without keeper... no keeper... catch he to chorne hain.... naa koi wicket keeper hoga... naa catch.... hate this doesn't deserve any kind of chance....
 
NO WAY.


Try out Jamal Anwar for shorter formats , and stick to Sarfaraz for Test matches , his batting would improve , just give him 3 - 4 test matches..... also a good batting coach can work with him.
 
His dropped catches have lost us a lot more matches than his batting has won them. Plus he has a lot of baggage and political history.

I'm happy with Adnan, Sarfaraz, and Umar Akmal for the three different formats. We can try Jamal Anwar for T20s if he continues to prove his worth.

No way in Heck do I want to go back to Kamran Akmal, Ever!
 
What the hell. Why do people always want him back after every little thing? Calm down. Give Sarfraz some chances.
 
NO to a anyone who sells his country.
But even otherwise he is an awful keeper lost as numerous matches, series etc
His batting is nothing to speak about when you consider he has been around over 10 years at international level.
Important to identify the right keeper/batsman, give him the right coaching and time to settle.
On a similar note I watched Ian Healy today coach Brad Haddin prior to the first test against N. Zealand.
Get Rashid Latif on the case.

Never! We dont need his dropped catches in return for 20/30 runs

Sarfraz needs a proper run
 
Please give :adnan :salman :sahmed at least 3-4 series EACH before even considering another new WK. And when I speak about another new WK I mean Gulraiz Sadaf, Bismillah Khan & Jamal Anwar...
 
I think Umar Akmal Should Keep..

Rahul Dravid kept for a almost 3 to 4 years for India in LOI.... when we did not have a good keeper!!! And he was at his best in those 3 to 4 yrs as far as batting is concerned..


Umar Akmal should be pushed to do that for the team...
 
People are idiots. Don't any of you remember how Kamran was? He debuted vs Zimbabwe and averaged 15 until that Mohali knock in 2005.
 
If he's brought back he should be brought back purely as a batsman in the ODI game ... he's better than at least 3 batsmen in our current lineup.
 
^^If we're talking purely in terms of batting, then surely there are far better options in Pakistan than Kamran Akmal

As I said before, if your criteria is just a good batsman, than its even better to bring the aging MoYo back as WK batsman. He wont fare worse than K Akmal in WK department !!!
 
An average of around 27. How the hell is he a good ODI batsman?

I'm sure there are many better batsmen in the domestic arena.

cricwiz I mean to say that Akmal should be a batsman only, not a keeper. And Shayan you could say the same for Farhat, Younis and Malik in the current side ... surely there's better options than them?
 
I'd much rather have Sarfraz be good as a keeper and do what he can as a batsman rather then suffer through more Kamran Akmal keeping fiascos.

Replace Imran Farhat with someone who knows how to bat and your mind will wander to Kamran Akmal ever again.

Yes, that's my point. Malik, Younis and Farhat are currently in the team, but if we were to replace them with a specialist batsman, why on earth would we look to Kamran Akmal, as you have suggested?

Kamran Akmal's batting is not so special that he should get in ahead of other specialist batsmen in domestic cricket.
 
don't worry kami will be back

mhk and pcb will soon realise that in limited overs we have no other choice than kami akmal, he is nothing put a victim of character assasination by this karachi media. there is no other wicketkeeper in pakistan domestic scene who has the power hitting ability like him in limited overs cricket, zulqi , adnan, salman, sarfraz have all failed in that criteria at international level,


stats of kami and the legendary dujon are not that disimilar
dujons first 53 test matches since kami has played only 53 test matches
kami has more catches and stumpings than dujon

also adam gilchrist in his first 137 matches in odi got 191 catches and 32 stumpings
kamran akmal who has only played 137 matches got 136 cathces and 25 stumpings in odi cricket

whilst kamran akmal in 53 test matches got 184 catches and 22 stumpings
adam gilchrist in 53 test matches got 202 catches and 20 stumpings

also ian healy's odi wicketkeeping record is no better than kamran akmal
in 168 games he managed 194 catches and 39 stumpings
whilst kamran akmal played 137 matches got 136 cathces and 25 stumpings in odi cricket and is a far superior batsmen with 5 odi hundreds.


also here are domestic stats for wicketkeepers this year

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/quaid...ismissals_career.html?id=6876;type=tournament


oh dear second highest run scorer for his team

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/quaid...career.html?id=6876;team=2969;type=tournament


in recent world cup he was third wicketkeeper with most dismissals he was 2 from the top spot
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/icc_c...ismissals_career.html?id=4857;type=tournament

with the bat he averaged more than younis, afridi, razzaq and co.

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/icc_c...g_by_team.html?id=4857;team=7;type=tournament

fourth highest run scorer for pakistan
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/icc_c...ns_career.html?id=4857;team=7;type=tournament


simple case of character assasination any other wicketkeeper who drops a catch, sarfraz has done plenty of blunder in sri lanka series and bangladesh but they have been brushed away or explained with a legitimate excuse, his batting is worse than a tailender even though he was built up as a don bradman from domestic cricket.
kami drops a catch or lets the ball slip past him for some byes it is magnified a thousand times it is like the end of the world and qiyamat has happened.

Stats don't show how many catches you drop, or how many runs are scored as a result of those drops.

I agree that Kamran Akmal's batting has been useful for us, and he has played some pheomenal knocks in all forms of the game. However, his keeping is not good enough to get back into the side, and I would imagine there are better batsman than him out there.

Sarfraz has not dropped any easy catches from what I have seen. For now that's good enough. His batting will improve.
 
Do people not see why we have been winning this time around?

One of the MAIN REASON is

KAMRAN AKMAL is NOT playing.

I hope mhk and PCB will soon realize this fact and days are not far away when we will see kami in Pakistan colors again. This karachi media does not care about the matches which we lost because of fawad alam while promoting fawad and backing him on the basis of his stats.
 
stupid thread

if wahab riaz is not allowed in the team than neither should kamran akmal

give sarfraz a decant run before making judgement
 
What does playing a Batsman at No 7 gonna give us?
If the Top 6 Batsmen cant make the desired runs a 7th will not either

We need a Specialist Keeper and the recent Series Win vs SL has proved the worth of one

U guys seriously want K Akmal to drop a few catches thereby conceding 50 or so runs which he for the life of him cant make in an Innings :facepalm:
 
Yes he is the best batsman, but...

We're keeping with Umar in T20s anyways, and I think this will soon be transgressed into ODIs as well

And for Tests you need a quality keeper so Adnan is pretty much settled there.

Important of Kami is really overstated now that Umar is proving to be a decent LOI keeper
 
Kamran Akmal is horrible WK for spin bowlers. Our spin bowlers are always limited in their variety when a horrible keeper like Kamran Akmal is behing the stumps.

And considering the fact that spin is an important weapon for Pakistan these days, K Akmal should be kept faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away from the team !!

No point comparing mediocrity with mediocrity.

If you want to select an opener, there are plenty of options better than both playing domestic cricket and who deserve a chance based on domestic performances, read Awais Zia and Sharjeel Khan.
 
Yeh Awais Zia and Sharjeel Khan along with the 50 Making Machine Azhar Ali
Also Asad Shafiq waiting to pounce into the batting line up

there is absolutely NO NEED for a Mediocre Batsman like K Akmal

If we had a Specialist Wicket Keeper in the WC we would have beaten India

Sorry, refresh my memory, how exactly would we have beaten India with a specialist keeper? I don't remember what Kamran Akmal did wrong in the game?
 
Kamran Akmal in past had given us flying starts against best sides of the world.In WC 2011 he gave us a very good start against Aus while chasing small target.In semi he gave us good start and was luking v good.We need him against Eng in UAE.

who did he drop? bring evidence


because all i remember the only chances he fluffed in the world cup was the dead rubber game against new zealand where he dropped ross taylor twice of shoaib akhtar

that still doesn't excuse shoaib akhtar and razzaq for bowling the tosh they did at the end and akhtar throwing the toys out of the pram.


against india he dropped no one.

it was misbah and younis who dropped tendu.

Kamran dropped 2 catches in that game from what I remember. One difficult chance off Tendulkar and one VERY difficult chance off Dhoni. Tendulkar and Dhoni both went on to score an additional 15 runs before they were out, and we lost the game by 29 runs.


Therefore your post in which you suggest we would have won the semi with a specialist keeper, is factually incorrect.

And Kamran Akmal can do that?
His Average of 27 tells other wise

There is more chance of getting 250 runs per innings with Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq in place of Farhat and Malik

compared to no chance of ever getting a solid start from Kamran Akmal

Those 15 Runs could have taken out a good portion of end game pressure

As wicket keeper ur supposed to take the difficult catches specially in important matches like the WC Semi

Ofcourse K Akmal cant even catch regulation catches so cant even think about the difficult ones

Sucky Batsman

I am not a stats guru.As a Pak fan I have seen many of his brilliant innings giving Pakistan a very good start in LOI. In tests too he has won us some matches and i remember he played one of the most phenomenal knocks against India in kirachi.He has batted well against better sides.Yes lately he has suffered a bit because of his keeping and that has effected his batting to some extent.If he is played as a pure batsman he would do wonder I believe.I agree he should never touch wicket keeping gloves again but he is a very very fine batsman.Play him as a pure batsman at opening spot in place of farhat.

don't forget the 2009 20/20 world cup pakistan won , kami was phenomonal with the gloves he was all over opposition batsmen in thier ears winding them up.
plus he was phenomonal with the bat, the six he off steyn got nasser hussain oh what a shot was that front foot or back foot.

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/wt202...ns_career.html?id=4162;team=7;type=tournament
 
Oh, Hell no! We don't want him anywhere near our team. He is one of the reasons of our downfall. His poor keeping....don't even want to think about the horror!

I rather watch the human centipede and hostel a few times in 3d than to watch kamran wicketkeep.
 
the leeper/batsman is arguable the weakest point in the whole team - we dont have anyone to compare to prior, dhoni, haddin, boucher, sangakara/dilshan - so essentially, we begin each innings with a wicket down.

that said, shoddy keeping is the same - if you let a top six batsman off, its equivalent of giving the opposing team an extra batsman, and if kamran averages one let off an innings, theres no difference between him and having a poor batting keeper. its a problem we need to fix, but i cant see any obvious solution at present.

kamran is doing the right thing by playing domestic and trying to fix his problems, id only envisage a possible recall if his keeping is reported to have substantially improved.

that all said, it sounds very much like there political/legal reasons as to why he's not there, and that cant be helped by anyone not in the know, so it might all be a moot point.

it would be brilliant if umar akmal could end up keeping permanently, but as one of the very best batsmen in the side, we cant afford it if it does affect his batting. his skills seem very good if not excellent behind the stumps so far.
 
no thanks...would rather have a keeper that takes catches...... it is less likely to cost the team than if the batsmen scores 50 but repeatedly drops catches....and besides when has kamran ever made up for all the drops with a big innings??

Isn't anyone going to point out that Sarfraz took 4 catches today?

Who cares about catches, we want a keeper who can score a pretty little 20 or 30 every inning and we don't mind if that same keeper drops catches which end costing us over 100 runs

Hell no. We currently have better and more agile w/k than him, so no as a w/k. As for as a batsman only, there must be better options available.
 
Dear God No! Please No!

Sarfraz should be persisted with and he should be opening in place of Damad
 
No thank you please. Kamran Akmal ko dubara wk nai karni chahiye..........

i wont have a problem if he plays as a specialist opener. but not sure how will his fielding be like?????

A good (specialist) wicket keeper with decent batting stats. He usually bats at no 7 in domestic matches. Pakistan plays an alrounder at 7. So in our team his batting position will be no 8. Your top 7 should be capable of scoring big and a support can be provided by the lower order. What Misbah is doing good by sending him up the order is showing confidence which is a morale booster. He got few unlucky umpiring decision but as far as i have seen he was at ease at the crease while batting. He is good enough to continue for Pakistan as a specialist wicket keeper who can also bat when required.

I second this. How can a Pakistani fan ask for Kamran Akmal's comeback after seeing how much he has hurt Pakistani team?
 
One think Kami did provide when he opened was balance to the side. Also when he was batting well he provided pakistan with flying starts to games.
 
* If Sarfraz Ahmed as a WK is failing in ODIs then replace him with Jamal Anwar.

* If Adnan Akmal as a WK is failing in Tests then replace him with Sarfraz Ahmed.

* If Umar Akmal as a WK is failing in T20s then replace him with Jamal Anwar.

Karman Akmal is not needed.
