including akmal’s recent century that takes him to 4 century’s … boy i think hes prolly the hottest keeper at present . even better than gilly and sangoo.
his technique is very good … i think he can proly play in any position.

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

you have bolded the wrong information....it is the averages that are actually meaningful to examine:

Dhoni:
Tests 59.39
ODIs 45.70

Akmal:
Tests 28.93
ODIs 32.00

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

its the games they both played too.
Dhoni:
Tests 59.39 in 6 innings
ODIs 45.70 in 27 innings

Akmal:
Tests 28.93 in 34 innings
ODIs 32.00 in 28 innings

its hard to maintain that average in da long run my freind. remember afridi after his first 100 in first inning averaged 102 now dropped to 25 or something same with pieterson so will he ....
we'll see how he plays against england..

so far hes only got centuries against pakistan and srilanka...
will see how he treats england.

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

Numbers aside, enjoy:

Kamran Akmal bun gya humari batting line up ka shezada
Wicket Keeping to hai hee par bala-bazi karney laga hai kuch zeada

Achanak runs us ke ballay se hain aney lagay
Thori si dare hai ke wo cricket ki duniya par chahney lagay

Zaroorat thee ke wo koe anokhaa kamaal karey
Pathan ki "swing" aur Kumble ki googly bhi us usey out na karey

Dhoni bhi usey dekh dekh kar apney khaab dekhey
Stamping ho ya catch ho out na wo kamran ko kar sakey

Cheeta hai wo humara batting aur wicket keeping main
Rescue karey ga humain wo har crisis situation main

Akela wo kuch nahi sath us ke aur bhi hain cheetay humarey
Dhotiyaan jala kar bethey hain India waley saarey

Shahzadi Performance deti hai jub Pakistani Team
Kuch nahi kar sakti un ka phir Indian rookhi sookhi Seam

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

Dhoni is a good batsman but a khassi keeper. 3rd test Pak's 2nd innings is evidence enough.

Sincerely,
Captain Lota

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

arzz kia hai

Dhoni, India ka new keeper bara marta hai sala
Doour se dekho to lagta hai tumari khala ki khala

Dhoti uss ki rehti hai loose wicket ke peechey
Baal hain us ke jesey hoon kisee gori mame ke neechey

thora buhat score kya kar lia pakistan ke khilaaf
ja dhoni le apni nae dhoti aur kar humain maaf

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

Dhoni has all time higheste score for a keeper...... so some respect dude.... moreover in ome day they have played more or less same number of matches and see the difference in average........

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

dude... Your typos remind me of myself. :D

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

Lol at "khassi keeper" Dhoni!

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

Please don’t disgrace “Kamran Akmal” by comparing him with a ‘kabadi player with a Blond Flare’. Kiya hogaya hai tum logoun ko, Hain? :aj:

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

As a famous person (well, in GupShup anyway :D) once said:

It is not ‘kabadi player with a Blond Flare’, the correct term is tulleybaaz. :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

Dhoni has played only 5 test matches so the average doesn't really count for much...:D

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

How many of those innings did Dhoni play WITH authority?

Re: Dhoni Vs Akmal

This is priceless (from rediff): :slight_smile:

Mahendra Singh Dhoni never looked happy, never seemed like he wanted to be out there. He kept bashing the ball hard into the ground, grimacing, fiddling with his gloves and giving it another bash, with all the air of a man who had already given up the task as hopeless. When his counterpart Kamran Akmal first caught international attention with that tremendous fight back against India in Mohali, Dhoni was probably watching on television; the message of not giving up apparently did not get through.
