Mature Umar Akmal at last? No more water? Time will tell. :uak

A performing Umar'll be the MVP of this PAK side - people get excited with Sharjeel, but this guy is at another level when on song. On top of that, he can keep. Umar should be hell bent this time that if he is called back, either he bats in top 3 or don't bother. PAK must trust in players like Umar, Maqsood, Amin - players who can play proper attacking shots without much effort or losing balance and without slogging blindly.
 
all the failures of the last 10 years are having a big party in this tournament

Sadly Umar has regressed a lot since his glory days of 2009-10, and that was proven in World Cup 2015 and Wt20i 2016. He will be very good against average attacks but will fail to deliver in pressure situations against world class bowling and fielding units. In addition to that, he will 90% of the time throw his wicket away after getting a pretty 30 in the same fashion, and will fail to take his team home.

A reckless individual who failed to realise his potential so much that he is just not good enough anymore.

U r caught in the same trap. Even Lara or Tendulkar has 3 failures out of 4 (if we take 50 as minimum for success), so UA getting out for 30 isn’t the worse things, even 6/7 out of 8 innings for 2 reasons -

1. His 29 will be like 29 (24); not 29 (48). Means he is giving a fast start, and he isn’t costing limited resources (balls). There are 6/7 batsmen in XI for a reason, who can have their time to build on that start.

2. If once or twice out of 8 innngs, this guy can bat till 35th over, some players will need to fix something to lose a game for PAK there after. Normally, Azhar Ali’s hundreds cost PAK the game.

It was foolish for PAK to try Umar at 7, which is extremely calculative spot. Latest game strategy is that teams don’t take the asking pressure later, rather attack the new ball and don’t allow the asking to grow. Game condition, playing rules and batting depth also helping that strategy - I give you two sets of XI for PAK

Set A: Azhar, FZ, Babar, MoHa, Malik, Sarfraz, Shadab, Fahim, Hasan, Amir, Raees Vs.

Set B: Amin/FZ, Babar, Umar+, Maqsood, Haris, Malik, Shadab, Fahim, Hasan, Amir & Irfaaaaan/Raees - for the sake of saying, take Malik as Captain.

We can take Talat in n both XI in spot to the 3rd pacer, if it’s not an usual batting belter.

Team A won’t lose embarrassing games, a very steady, solid unit that has a upper and lower limit. 2nd set is what you need to dominate the game - might have a hiding some days, but this unit will create fear in opponents.

Sarfraz is Captain and doing great, I can leave a space for him dropping Amin/FZ and opening with Hari (or dropping Maqsood keeping openers intact) in Team B, but that’s it.



PAK’s CT win shouldn’t be used as a standard yard stick for everything - Greece also won Euro with 7 men depending goal post and couple of forwards were fed long balls, in between noting in mid field; that didn’t last much beyond Euro. The core of that team wasn’t talented, but an experienced bunch of solid players who clicked together st one time and backed their strength, which was German style defending and being clinical at limited opportunities.

This is an exciting PAK bowling unit with a very good batting depth - top order should complement that depth, to post dominating totals like the Aussies did when they had 3 bowlers making XI on bowling merit, and then they are Strack, MoJo, Faulkner with bat coming at 8, 9 & 10. PAK top order is using this bowling strength & batting depth to build soft numbers - it’ll be exposed badly at wrong time.
 
[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] you don’t think Umar has regressed?

I don’t think so, rather I think he is more confused (considering his iq & intelligence) in his role. He is lot closer to Afridi than Javed in this regard - so, best way to handle him is to avail him best resources (spot) where he has highest % to succeed and explain his role in a quantifiable manner - simply tell him what to do, he is good enough to find a way in his own game. He was sent at 3 in a T20 game in WC (Dhaka 2014), against AUS and I can safely say that it is the best ever T20 innnings by a PAK batsman.

Look, I have no fan boyism, but I do understand this game a little. We can go for a steady approach with Azhar (no personalization, he is the best of 4/5 of his type in XI) type, or we can take a risk with Umar, Maqsood. Both are around 29-31 now, biologically should be at their best as a batsman, and they are in great form, therefore past records shouldn’t be used every time against them. The game itself suits their strength & style - one has to take that risk.

Having said that - NO compromise with fitness; even a prime Viv Richards has to pass that.

It's not that complex tbh. His strike rate since 2012 has decreased from 87 to 84 and his average has also decreased from 40-39 to 34. It's not that he provides a 29 off 24 every day, everytime he has come in the 20th-25th over, he still does the same thing, get to a 25 or 30 before trying to hit out and throws his wicket away. Earlier on in his career, he was able to grind his way out to score fifties atleast, now he is just looking to be either way too aggressive or defensive and easily falls into the bowlers trap like Afridi. His productive shot of inside out slog over mid off is his bane in International cricket. He has got out to that shot since 2015 more often than he has scored a boundary with that shot. Pakistan management, yes, has played a role in his regression to a certain degree by pushing him further down the order since 2011, from no 4 till no 6. But his performances haven't either merited a top order position since then. His performance in 2016 world t20i showed where he batted at no. 4, he was still not able to go the distance. Instead he just got some painful knocks. just over 100 strike rate, that didn't serve any purpose for the team. His last good performance in T20i came against Australia in 2014 wt20 where he was able to go till the end and really take on the bowling attack. And in ODI's I think it was against Afghanistan with his century in Asia Cup 2014 where he played well. Otherwise all of his knocks have had a very pattern.

When he started back in 2009, he would rotate the strike till his 30s and would go for boundaries afterwards while still looking for strike rotation. Now when he gets to 30s, he is only looking to get boundaries.
 
Umar Akmal should be given a Chris Lynn role in the LOIs starting with t20s in NZ. He should open in shorter formats. Quick 40, 50 can do a world of good to our one dimensional batting line up.

He'll do better than Azhar, MoHa, Malik, Sarfraz even in his worst days on wickets that has pace and bounce. It takes Azhar Ali whole session before he can hit a boundary through off-side, that too on front foot - and that guy opens in ODI...........

I am not a fan of Azhar Ali's inclusion in ODI side, I would rather prefer someone else, maybe Umar Amin or Imam if he shows the extra gear. But Azhar Ali opens while Umar Akmal bats in the middle order. Totally different roles. And no, Umar Akmal is not that special tbh. Azhar has played quite a few good knocks in ODI's that Umar can't. Opening with Umar is a totally different debate which I would be tempted to experiment with. Sarfraz is batting at the worst possible number on which he can, he totally lacks firepower and is weak against pace yet he is batting at 6. He is a strike rotater and he has been pretty good at no 4 and 5.

Malik, yes he is weak against swing, but he merits a place in the side, he is not as bad against pace as people make him out to be. Although Umar might be better against pace, he doesn't have the cool head of Malik to utilize it. Umar Akmal will still get out looking to charge against a bowler or with a super soft dismissal while Malik will get out to his weakness.
Plus on subcontinent and WI wickets, Shoaib Malik is the best player for us to have. In addition, he adds variety and flexibility to the bowling attack with his canny offspinners something our skipper isnt utilizing well. Malik has a century in South Africa and averages 48 there, you can't be totally useless against pace. Hopefully Malik can come off as the series progresses.

Hafeez, I agree doesn't merit a place in the team without his bowling, but Umar Akmal is simply not good enough to be a no.4, neither is Hafeez.

Lets hope YK retires, ends his means of making a living just because some youngster who has many cricketing years ahead of him is eager to play. There will never be anybody capable of filling his shoes in the next 50 years in Test cricket.

He's already friends with Sarfraz as they've played together for Pakistan Cricket Club in Karachi. I doubt he'll get many chances tho; Hassan Khan is their first choice for the emerging player spot.

Is there any footage of Umar, Saud & Maqsood's batting? Also, I am more interested in Umar's keeping - can't be worse than Sarfraz.

Some :quote: journalists :quote: stated that they deliberately didn't play today as a form of protest.

However, Kamran has denied these claims as 'false news', saying he didn't play due to an injured finger.

Salman has also denied it, saying he was unwell with a bad stomach.

Taking out Amir & Hasan from both teams, what is left in Corporate league will comfortably beat PAK team touring in NZ now -

1. *Amin
2. Kamran
3. Umar+
4. Saud
5. Maqsood
6. Talat
7. Hammad Azam
8. Ammad Butt
9. Md. Irfan (PTV)
10. Sohail Khan
11. Md. Irfaaaaan

That batting should counter Amir/Hasan as well.

Surely Maqsood will be in the T20 squad . Even Umar Akmal seems to be in good form.

Wouldn't mind this line up for T20s vs New Zealand

Fakhar
Amin
Babar
Maqsood
Umar
Sarfraz (only because he is captain)
Faheem

Hope so - but knowing Ul Haq, won’t be surprised to see Kamran & Shehzad ahead of Maqsood in the squad. People relate CT win with Ul Haq’s selection success - I don’t. 11 or 12 of that squad is in NZ, probably most of them are starting in last game and you have seen the game for sure. They might win 2nd game with Hasan or Amir taking 3/4 in one spell or Fakar/Babar hitting a hundred; but that doesn't change my assessment on the squad (neither on Ul Haq)

Let's see what surprise he will have in-store for us in the t20s. Wouldn't be surprised to see Nawaz in the squad :)))
 
Wow strike rate of umar akmal and sohaib maqsood is pretty impressive.They should find place in t20is squad against newzealand!!no.3 position has done wonders for at akmal.Well hopefully he can transform this form into international matches.Hoping for best!!
 
Our T20 team for NZ should be this.

Fakhar.
Babar.
Umar.
Malik.
Maqsood.
Sarfaraz.
Shadab.
Fahim.
Imad.
Hassan.
Amir.

Sadaf hussain is the highest wicket taker right now :)
 
Why should Hussan Talat play for Pakistan LOIs team?

He has a strike rate of 100+ in all his innings.
 
Looks like Asad will make it this time as opener -
Asad, Azhar, Babar, MoHa, Malik, Sarfraz .....

Imam is there as opener to partner Azhar but Babar is struggling so maybe Asad at #3? :inzi

We need players with good technique...

I think it's a 9.30 or 10 AM start - Not entirely sure.

I don't know why spectators wouldn't be allowed. Surely they are. I mean it already isn't televised...

I heard a fan wasn't allowed to enter the State Bank ground. I don't wanna wake-up, go to the ground, and be told that I'm not allowed.
