if they could have just scored at least 20 , we would have been in much better sitation

 

[Mian Hassan]

87 of 58 akmal...... on fire

 

[Afridi_Fan]

270/7 after 42.3

 

[who_dares]

is it big deal frm here

 

[Khabri420]

77 off 42 required

 

[dblock]

87..if he makes a ton then goodbye Misbah it should be for the opening ODI.

 

[Mian Hassan]

Razzaq good support 18 of 13

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Current partnership 56 from 5 overs.

 

[hasanb]

270/7 in 42.3 overs razzaq joins in the fun here!

 

[rumman007]

271 /7 43ov

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Last 4.5 overs they have scored 51 runs. Good batting by Akmal Jr.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

271/7 in 43 overs.

 

[sehban]

271/7 43

 

[Juggernaut]

This is the Umar Akmal show ... also very well done Fawad and even Afridi chipped in

 

[anakwalajinn]

Woooow! If he seriously wins us the game... Amaizing I think we should play with him all 5 games, definatley. I think YK& co will play with Umar instead of Alam =P

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Required 77 from 42 balls.

 

[Mian Hassan]

cricinfo going backwards again

 

[Afridi_Fan]

May be after this, we will wave Good Bye to :

 

[haroonrasheed320]

UMAR AKMAL is on fireeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[naqlipathan]

drop malik and misbah and play alam and akmal in their places.

 

[ahmed16]

So that means Yousuf, Malik, Gul and Amer are somehow gonna break into the side....hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm.

Dunno how Pakistan are gonna do that.

Imran Nazir and Rao will be dropped, we know that much based on there performances in this match

Im betting that the warm up is the only match Umar Akmal is gonna get, sad but he has age on his side.

But then who else::: Misbah? Jamshed? hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Some selection headaches coming up.

I would open with Alam and Akmal, does anyone know wether this Umar dude is a wicketkeeper

 

[ahmed16]

drop malik and misbah and play alam and akmal in their places.

Not gonna happen bro, you know that.

 

[Mian Hassan]

Can we ask cricinfo to do a update every over ..... can we send them a e-mail or something for pak practice matches

 

[ahmed16]

May be after this, we will wave Good Bye to :

) ) Yeah, allright then mate, any sane team would do that, but this.....this is Pakistan.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Since YK is struggling with the bat, it will be hard for him to sit out the seniors. The only way Akmal Jr. gets in is YK decides to go with non-specialist openers.

One thing is clear goodbye Butt!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Cricinfo froze again

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

But considering Umar Akmal performance today.....I think YK will not drop him for the 1st ODI atleast...he is surely gonna play....

 

[ahmed16]

Which he should.

 

[cricket47]

I would open with Alam and Akmal, does anyone know wether this Umar dude is a wicketkeeper

bro he is a middle order batsmen and bowls a bit (used to be regular bowler in under 19 but dunno why he never gets bowl..im pretty sure he can bowl better thn misbah atlest)

 

[the Great Khan]

Logic dictates malik and misbah should be dropped..alas we care little for logic or merit!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok this crapinfo is now pissing me off

 

[ahmed16]

But considering Umar Akmal performance today.....I think YK will not drop him for the 1st ODI atleast...he is surely gonna play....

How much you willing to bet he wont.

 

[Mian Hassan]

I cannot wait for the next update of cricinfo!!!

 

[ahmed16]

Logic dictates malik and misbah should be dropped..alas we care little for logic or merit!!

Why Malik, i can understand Misbah. Im no fan of Malik but i fail to see what he has done wrong in odis.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I cannot wait for the next update of cricinfo!!!

Me too mate.

 

[naqlipathan]

we are all getting excited but from past observations younis does not really care so much about warm ups. plus he himself didnt perform so how can he drop the seniors.

expect malik and misbah to be playing in all the ODI's and also expect imran nazir to open, possibly with kamran akmal.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Logic dictates malik and misbah should be dropped..alas we care little for logic or merit!!

I think we should experiment with the middle order here considering this is the last international assignment in ODIs before champions trophy....which should give Alam and Umar Akmal a go while resting Malik and Misbah and see if they perform then we should decide for the long term....i.e. continue giving chances to Alam and Umar and have Malik and Misbah as bench strength..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why Malik, i can understand Misbah.

Some people just have a grudge against malik, I used to be one when he was the captain.Not anymore.

 

[Waseem]

Wow Umar Akmal is 87 off 58 balls, it's putting Younis under immense pressure.
Who does he drop now??? If both Fawad and Umar are to ply, we will need to drop 2 senior batsmen but i doubt it will happe.

Umar may have played an amazing inning but if there is only one spot for Umar or Fawad, i will definitely go with Fawad who deserves it much more.

I think selectors might even open with Akmal brothers as Umar has opened a few times well.

 

[Amoeba]

Looking at Umar's innings today looks like Kamran is gonna suffer the same fate as Mark Waugh:-

Ormand had just come out to bat on an Ashes tour and was greeted by Mark Waugh.
MW: "**** me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here? There's no way you're good enough to play for England."
JO: "Maybe not, but at least I'm the best player in my family."

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

How much you willing to bet he wont.

We hardly see such type of batting from a batsman first up on Intl. scene in Pakistan Cricket....

 

[Waseem]

We might see this team

Akmal K
Akmal U
Younis
Yousuf
Malik
Fawad
Afridi
Razzaq
Gul
Aamer
Ajmal

 

[dblock]

Can't see Malik being dropped, he is a useful spinner in the shorter formats.

ye it seems umar is the best player in the family.

 

[IAJ]

We might see this team

Akmal K
Akmal U
Younis
Yousuf
Malik
Fawad
Afridi
Razzaq
Gul
Afridi
Ajmal

Yousuf is class act but I don't know if he deserves to get straight back in the team. And we dont need to play malik, ajmal,fawad and afridi at the same time. I would have loved to see Aamer play as well.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We might see this team

Akmal K
Akmal U
Younis
Yousuf
Malik
Fawad
Afridi
Razzaq
Gul
Afridi
Ajmal

2 Afridis, wow you should get my nick

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yaar come on cricinfo

 

[the Great Khan]

Gotta drop misbah!! we have moyo we don't need another geriatric!! As for malik well I care little for him even in odi's and he should make way!! We need to play brash and confident youngsters now or we will suffer later!!

 

[Mian Hassan]

We might see this team

Akmal K
Akmal U
Younis
Yousuf
Malik
Fawad
Afridi
Razzaq
Gul
Afridi
Ajmal

You are playing Afridi twice.... its alright but replace him with Mohammed Amir

 

[Juggernaut]

Can't see Malik being dropped, he is a useful spinner in the shorter formats.

I've hardly seen the guy bowl in odi's

 

[hasanb]

for the love of god someone take a huge run up and give cricinfo a massive kick up the backside!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I think the the next update will be when the match will be over.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

The match has ended I guess.

 

[Mian Hassan]

I think the the next update will be when the match will be over.

Yeah you are right.....

 

[Mian Hassan]

and i only trust criciinfo.....

 

[hasanb]

your source is not working mate

yes its a joke...its masalanews...thats the point lol

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Look at the source its masaala news

 

[anakwalajinn]

looks like Umar Akmal hit a big six in cricinfos computer room and destroyed their system =P

 

[Afridi_Fan]

looks like Umar Akmal hit a big six in cricinfos computer room and destroyed their system =P

) that can happen.

 

[Waseem]

Sorry guys, i don't think Afridi is good enough to be included twice, i wanted to type Aamer.

Akmal K
Akmal U
Younis
Yousuf
Malik
Fawad
Afridi
Razzaq
Gul
Aamer
Ajmal

 

[IAJ]

Why not guess the result while we are waiting?

 

[dblock]

hmm.. what a painful wait..

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Any other practise match that includes ind aus or eng they have full coverage with ball by ball commentery. Why do they ignore poor Pakistan all the time????

 

[rumman007]

I have a feeling Pakistan will win this one

 

[who_dares]

cricinfo sometime sucks big time

 

[hasanb]

I think PP should initiate a hostile takeover bid of Cricinfos Pakistan section.

 

[IAJ]

Any other practise match that includes ind aus or eng they have full coverage with ball by ball commentery. Why do they ignore poor Pakistan all the time????

You are right, but we just have to live with it i guess. cricinfo er en gjeng av tullinger.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I think cricinfo are in a shock as razzaq and umar has won the game for Pakistan.

 

[Ali888]

Knowing the corrupt Pakistan selecters and the lengths Seniors will go to preserve their places I would be happy to put my mortgage on Pakistan not selecting Fawad and Umar Akmal they really are that perverse in their thinking

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Sorry guys, i don't think Afridi is good enough to be included twice, i wanted to type Aamer.

Akmal K
Akmal U
Younis
Yousuf
Malik
Fawad
Afridi
Razzaq
Gul
Aamer
Ajmal

I like this team. A good mixture of youth and experience.

 

[Mian Hassan]

yeah does someone know that OSMAN guy from cricinfo..... ask him to get this pakistan page sorted out and why is pakistan always left late...

 

[ahmed16]

I've hardly seen the guy bowl in odi's

well you certainly missed his 10-1-22-1 against Aussies in Abu Dhabi.
Quite the bowler he is when.....he is inspired.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

This is pathetic by cricinfo!! PCB needs to do something about this, have something of there own or something like CA did during the A matches! (Then again PCB and do something don't fit together...maybe do something that is totally uncalled for!)

 

[Khabri420]

The match is probably over by now....so much for calling it a 'Live Scorecard'

 

[ahmed16]

I'd be very suprised if both Fawad Alam and Umar Akmal aren't in the starting line up come thursday morning.

What medicine would you like for your shock?

 

[Mian Hassan]

Somebody Call Osman from Cricinfo...... ahahah let all send a e-mail and complain about this..!!!!!!!!

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

You are right, but we just have to live with it i guess. cricinfo er en gjeng av tullinger.

Yeah, skithögar hela bunten

 

[Mian Hassan]

What medicine would you like for your shock?

Pak Sharbaht ek spoon...

 

[pak4life]

I'd be very suprised if both Fawad Alam and Umar Akmal aren't in the starting line up come thursday morning.

I will not be suprised at all Younis looks like a guy who dosnt like conflict or hassle the only way they can play is if Malik and Misbah are dropped just cant see that happening. The easy way out is to open with them.

 

[anakwalajinn]

cricinfooo come oon
