Re: Knives out for Umar Akmal
Misbah did. he was the highest scorer in the match :)
Yes i saw highest scorer of 40 runs from 86 balls and could not finish the match for his team :)
Is this leading from front?
Re: Knives out for Umar Akmal
When a guy has played 15 overs and he cant throws his wicket away is not the culprit while the guy who played much lesser balls throws his wicket is the culprit for the match
Re: Knives out for Umar Akmal
Its not just getting out of the crease but rather the** carelessness (arrogance?) **manner in which he came charging down while Jadeja was still relatively early through his action to deliver the ball. The bowler saw him coming down and sent in a faster, shorter pitched ball, which resulted in the stumping.
The way Akmal brothers get out don't look right to me. I hope there is nothing fishy here. Paging Sarfraz Nawaz.
Re: Knives out for Umar Akmal
I agree UA played a rash shot too but 70 percent blames goes to Misbah and rest goes to UA

Waleed its matter of how each of them lost the wicket....
Other day you were comapring Umar Akmal and Shoaib MAlik....
Malik has arnd 16 MOMs in arnd 206 matches and Akmal has 6 in arnd 71 matches.
Malik arnd 35 50's Akmal has 6.
Malik has 7 100's Akmal has 1.
I dunt see much difference between both....
One sucks against Australia and other one has batting avg of 20.xx against India.
Atleast Malik is good at talking singles and doesnt have to go crazy when RR is around 4.
If Misbah played slow 39 of 82 then Umar Akmal was playing with strike rate of 50 too.
Both are too be blamed but nto for playing slow... for loosing their wickets.
Atleast Misbah didnt walk half way down the pitch.... and Akmal did it when he was part of last recognized partnership.
Re: Knives out for Umar Akmal
I have always maintained the opinion that Umar Akmal is hugely overrated.In the last 7 to 8 years, the Akmal brothers are arguably the worst thing to happen to Pakistan cricket after the spot fixing fiasco.

One thing the Akmal brothers may be good at are the moves on the dance floor and may be fixing:Umar Akmal & Adnan Akmal Dance - YouTube
