Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!
probably he was trying to make a connection between akmal’s performance (topic of discussion) and your point about his vocal cords performance.
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!
Akmal - Vocal - Wet Dreams. I can’t see any connection or someone straight having wet dream by listening to to Akmals vocals 
.
Anyway - back to the topic as I already stated that Akmal will be OK in the series and score few runs and thais is what has happened so far.
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!!!
Though I still beleive PAK should groom a backup Keeper, but at the same time there is no doubt when Akmal is in his grove, he plays like Aussies. No slowing down, fluency in his strokes, timing in his sweeps and lightening in his running between the wicket. Yesterday he does deserve a hundred. He played well.
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!!!
*Rock_Express, I wonder when your team will find a keeper half as good as Akmal. I mean, Jones is in the team just because of Fletcher. And Read is just hit-and-miss. You know what I'm saying homie?
One bad tour (the first to England, by the way), and most shmucks here were calling for Akmal's head. He will be fine in the future Inshallah, stop whining like babies most of you.*
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!
The fact that you keep harping on and on about Cheegum’s comment just makes me think Cheegum really was on to something. It’s ok. Canada is a very welcoming place for people of all kinds, and you are always welcome here Rocky baby :o .

So you keep on assuming that I am an England supporter. How many times have I made this clear to you? Again, I think you have a bad memory.
Read and Jones are both crap – simple as that.
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!!!
You would know that he was on to something.
Thanks for your invitation, may be this is the reason you went to Canada as it could especially accommodate your kind.
You should also give invitation to Akmal baby and do whatever you look with him as you suggested Canada is a welcoming place.
You should have all the freedom in the World to do whatever you like with him.

Akmal succeeds after Gilchrist help
LAHORE: Pakistan wicket-keeper Kamran Akmal overcame a bad patch with a blistering knock of 78 against the West Indies here on Monday and credited Australia’s Adam Gilchrist for the turnaround in form.
Akmal’s place in the team had been under scrutiny after he struggled in England and in the recent Champions Trophy in India. “I spoke to Gilchrist in India and he gave me some useful tips,” Akmal told reporters. “I learnt things from him and have worked hard with coach Bob Woolmer to improve on my game. It felt good to get some runs today as the pitch was sluggish. It has helped me regain my confidence,” he added.
The 24-year old, who has scored 1,331 runs and made 106 dismissals in 28 Tests, said he the pressure had got to him when his form dropped. “It was my first tour to England and the pitches seamed a bit. I found it hard to adjust as keeper and batsman,” he said. Akmal ended the 12-year reign of Pakistani wicket-keepers, Rashid Latif and Moin Khan when he made his debut in 2002 but only cemented his place in the side in 2004.

Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!
:k: kudos to him for learning from better players - kudos to him for “knowing” to ask and not be pig headed.
I always admire the underdogs. Specially when they prove their critics wrong!!
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!!!
I am Akmal's biggest fan but I have to say I was disappointed with yet another missed regulation stumping. I hope that he regains his keeping form like he did with his batting.
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!!!
Don't worry he will keep his place. I don't think they will replace him with someone new with tough away tour of South Africa and the World cup coming up.
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!!!
*Nice avatar Rocky bhaijan. One of your favorite extracurriculars, I'm assuming :o ?
By the way, Akmal will be fine in South Africa and in the World Cup. It's good that he had a bad series well before the big event, and he will learn from that experience.*

^ Quite right!
And I guess you and I have covered quite a bit of Akmal and his progressive performances in exclusive 'Akmal' threads.
Akmal has been an examplery cricketer on & off the field and like any other player he has room for improvment specialy when collecting & stumping chances are amissed at an alarming rate, but his body language suggests that he knows his deficiencies and knows how to correct them in the following games. Wish I could say the same about Razzak/Afridi or some openers.
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!!!
I still say we should have a backup.
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!
^ You mean ‘A’ side and ‘B’ side backup or just ‘Akmal’ backup ?
Younis Khan kia ghans kaatnay kay leye rakha hai team mai, 
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!!!
Someone in the squad to show Akmal he needs to get better, or else the team is not afraid to yank him, you guys say it will lower his confidence, but thats what losers end up doing, winners, real cricketers get motivated.
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!!!
I love to give you the benifit of doubt. Who shall we say can replace Akmal and his text book style defensive and offensive batting anchore?
(Please spare me the moin khan or Rashid latif muntra) :D
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!!!
There must be a few keepers around, maybe Zulqurnain, but you seem to forget, keeping comes first, batting comes second.
Re: Kamran Akmal on 1st day!!!!!
^In fact, I can guarantee that he will be Pakistan's future wicket keeper (in 2-4 years) if not sooner, he is only 20 and is already averaging 33 in first class cricket.

Thanks. I suppose you like it.
I have few other similar ones and I can always pass it on to you if you like. Yes it is one of my other favourite sports.
What are your extracurricular activities? As you suggested Canada is a welcoming place for all kinds and no doubt provides you plenty of freedom for all sort of extracurricular…….
