Re: 1st Test: Pakistan v England, Dubai - Jan 17-21, 2012
All three Akmal brothers are cheeky … each in their own way
Adnan came into bat at a crucial time and his innings was the reason for Pakistan’s big 1st innings lead which put England on the back foot. While it’s ok to reverse sweep on Asian pitches, it won’t be so easy in Aus, Eng or SA where the ball comes on to you much quicker.
What we can safely say about Adnan is that he is the best wicket keeper-batsman in the country. I would prefer him over Sarfraz in the ODIs as well. Adnan’s glove work is as good as Sarfraz’s and he is a much better batsman than the latter
