Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
Please do not avoid the issue here, I have politely asked u to do the right thing, either u comply or be ready for the consequences.
As for calling players by names, have u ever seen the names given to Sami, Shoaib, Inzy etc etc. These guys are our stars, we can heap praise on them when they do well and crap on them when they fail. Understood.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
At post #98 you said thing offensive to me. I did not mind but you continue to do name calling to me and players...drink a cold glass of water.
We can heap these players and crap on them when we want? that is the most stupid analogy ever.

You have to be kidding me!! Inzi has never been regarded as mediocre, maybe out of form but never mediocre. Me think u r clutching for straws. The moment Inzi arrived on the cricket scene he has never been regarded as average or mediocre, lazy yes but then again that was one of greatest talents that helped him through his long, unending career. Communication skills, yeah the guy has problems in that dept but then again with his class batting wtf cares. Suspect against spin? Which player are u talking about? Inzi has always been a great player of spin. So leave Inzi out of this and stick with your babe Akmal, guy with the “L” sign.
Now tell me where have I insulted u or attacked u directly or indirectly?
Its quite obvious u do not have the gumption to take criticism or be proven wrong. Nor do u have the basic etiquettes required for rational discussion. So, moron if u wish to indulge in mud slinging or name calling be my guest, thats one thing that is eazy and comes for free.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
now apologize. :halo:
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
OK Guys relax and please focus on the topic of discussion

Chill down boyzzz :-|
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
I have been saying this for last three years, Kamran is an OK keeper, but doesn't have class. Its was better to groom up Zulqi along with him in 2006 SL and WI series.
I don't care about his batting, as its openers and middle order's responsiblity. I care about keeping. If Zulqi or anyone is a better keeper but average batsman, he must be in.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
Only reason I referenced your post was because of your challenge, it was not anyone else's idea but your own. Now that Akmal has once again missed a crucial stumping u r defending by reminding us of his previous match performances which again is not factually correct. Pakistan won the previous match because of Shoaib, Asif, Inzi and Yunus Khan ie team effort, Akmal was lucky to score a streaky 57, unfortunately for him, his luck ran out in this test match.

Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
Brother counterpoint - I had alread given my views on the over-rated Akmal many times.
*One thing you need to understand and I have stated in the other thread is to leave Akaml alone for the time being, simply because he is a learner and a slow learner. He needs extra lessons and will probably be OK so we are told in the next 3-6 months. *
*So learners and juvenilles like Akmal are not worth talking about. *
Great players in the making don't need so many lessons and show their real worth where ever they play - prime example is Mohammed Asif.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
If you didn't notice, Inzi's 92 in previous Test was not a 'full-in-control' inning, Younis got couple of chances... besides, Akmal's inning was streaky in beginning but after that his shots were controlled.
PS: This is not to defend his place in the team/keeping skills.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
Its time to say Gud bye Mr. Akmal 
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
I don’t think this will happen not at least till after the World cup.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
Lets rest him for atleast 2 ODIs. We have 5 to go in SA so we can afford this.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
As much as I like Akmal, he certainly isn't making things easy for himself. Lets hope he can redeem himself again during the match like last time.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
Akmal reminds me of Parthiv Patel.
Patel was often handy with the bat, but was a disaster behind the stumps.
But unlike Pak, wicket-keeping is one department India has some decent alternatives.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
Let's rest him like Butt and Afridi. Easy missed chances in every match is his hallmark and to say he is out of form is just not good enough. he needs to go.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
Unfortunately, this Test was the best time to drop Akmal and try Zulqarnain. For ODI's I think Akmal is still better suited because of his batting. Zulqarnain will likely go the whole tour without playing a game.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
I think Akmal should be rested for the ODI vs SAffies and Haider should be given a chance, Akmal is a 1st choice W-keeper of the Pakistan team no doubt about that, yes his keeping is on a downward trend, but I think he can gather himself and get back to his usual, plus we dont want Gibbs of 99 WC where he spilled a simple catch of S. Waugh.
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
If PCB really had a single man with plan he would have planned for this situation long time ago as i had suggested in this thread 2 monts ago.

whoever thinks akmal is having a one odd bad series must have very short memory. writing was on the wall during last year series with england / srilanka / icc.
now they have to get in damage control mode and perhaps call moin khan for world cup. Eventhough i m against betting on old horses but here thanks to incompetent pcb haramkhores we are left with no options.
Including Moin will server two purposes
Re: KAMRAN AKMAL!
And Akmal continues with his sorry state of wicketkeeping, it was a missed stumping chance.
41.5Danish Kaneria to Prince, OUT, GONE, GOOGLY Superbly set-up by Kaneria. Full ball, this time spinning away. Prince beaten in the flight as he tries to drive to the on side. The ball spins away, bounces off Akmal and loops up for Yasir Hameed at silly mid-off. He dives in front and completes the catch. Replays show that the ball might have missed the bat, with the noise coming from the bat hitting the ground.
Akmal missed the googly as well but Hameed completed the catch. Steven Bucknor contemplates a while before raising the finger of death. Prince
doesn't hide his disappointment. But what a ball! *AG Prince c Yasir Hameed b Danish Kaneria 19 (82m 68b 2x4 0x6) SR: 27.94 *
