Umar Akmal hits 136* as Balochistan defeat Punjab by six wickets in first match of Pakistan Cup 2019

[Maliq_Mudasir]

For all those supporting UA, please wait till the tournament ends. I really want to see his average at the end of the tournament.

 

[Mirpur express]

good innings no doubt but the fact remains that he just does not have the mental capacity to deliver it at the highest level.

 

[criclove34]

give credit it where it is due … Umar Akmal is > Asif any day...
Against AUS 150 score batting at no. 6 was the 3rd highest total among all Pak batsmen.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol one innings at domestic and the last 5 innings of utter rubbish have been forgotten? Let him score consistently , you know how good is khurram manzoors list A record? The guy has 23 list A hundreds and an average of 52 , iftikhar ahmad has a list A average of 49 with 6 hundred and strike rate of 90. At the highest level these guys are failures so much like akmal.

 

[coy0607]

should be recalled for WC team ASAP. A must for the WC and Pakistan's batting future

If only they would let Umar Akmal open...

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I like this.

I really do.

International failure - send to dometics

Domestic bully - recall

Repeat the process 3 or 4 times.

Rinse, repeat.

No international success still.

Yet the raucous fans still shouting themselves hoarse.

Guess you only need to have a slog appeal.

And now imagine with only 6 teams playing in domestic after we emulate Australian First-class cricket model

Is that good performance?. How competitive is first class cricket in Pakistan? In India, even ravi jadeja has scored triple centuries in first class cricket.

He scored two 40s and had to slog from the get-go in a couple of innings. That is hardly rubbish.

I don't know what the selectors are going to do about Umar Akmal. This guy is simply frustrating.

Check out the bowlers he scored against.

Sorry, which innings did he have to slog from the get go?

In the first match when he scored 49 , his catch was dropped at 12.

When he scored 36 , he was given a chance in 20s.

Not frustrating at all , his selection based on nothingness is frustrating though.

 

[Rana]

He's in form, he was in form during the Aus series as well. What he cant help is the soft dismissals but you will get that from a guy that wants to press the issue rather than play for his average or personal milestone.

 

[badsha001]

i feel he tries to make up for the stupidity at the top order by trying to score faster. He is miles ahead of the other players who score more in loosing cause. UA is the one of the few dynamic batsmen in pakistan's team who can hit at his own will compared to other batsmen who can't hit if their life depended on it

 

[Forum363]

Still waiting for your reply on which innings he had to slog from the get go

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

He had his chances but failed so no not in my WC team.

 

[Adijazz1706]

If it's him against Asif Ali, I'd take everyday and twice on Sundays

 

[ARK Rafay]

If it's him against Asif Ali, I'd take everyday and twice on Sundays

I'd rather play with 10 men

Simple explanations: It's like failing calculus course at the uni level over and over again and then going back to high school and doing wellbin basic maths.

He is good at the domestic level and should stick to it. No way he is capable of handling international bowlers on a big stage and playing professionally.

 

[asifp]

He is a 2 down player and he should play there. We ask him to come at 6 and accelerate and thats the problem. He is aggressive as in looking to score, but when he tries to attack he plays ugly shots.

Play him at 4, let him score quick and see the results

 

[Hawkeye]

Again a hundred (99).

That too on just 60 balls.

The difference between the UAE and PAK are pathetic pitches. This RWP ground has a very good pitch.


Umar Akmal showing his class. Inzi can't ignore him now.

 

[UAK]

Umar Akmal needs a captain like Sarfaraz to keep him in-check. That worked out in PSL. I think he will be a good additional to the team. He should bat at 4, but Pakistan team has Sarfaraz, Malik and Haris maybe, which would create a problem for them.

Between Haris, Malik and Hafeez, they should only play 1 batsmen.

That’s actually a really good analogy. Sums it up. Should stick to domestic cricket for the rest of his career.
