Could Misbah have advised him to? Might not be his fault.

Ah exciting win in the end despite our abysmal performance. Malinga WAG!!

wow.......just saw the scorecard this morning to find Umar Khatmal scoring 91 on his return. Maybe he should be kicked out for a few more matches so he can perform even better

Nah. Remember he did pretty well in the WC as well. Dropping him was probably a mistake.

At last some relief. Fernando has done his part for one match. Now kick him out and bring back Lakmal. Prasanna is a good spinner, but might find him self wanting when Afridis, Akmals start coming at him. Randiv over him any day. Matter worsens with second spinner being Mendis and Dilshan. There has to be an experienced spinner when bowling to SC sides.

how was Khatmal's batting yesterday? I completely missed the Pakistan innings?

was scratchy first 20 runs then looked at a completley different level to any other batsman who played yesterday's game, got out in a typical khatmal fashion.

Nice to see he cares about the match and appreciates the magnitude of his crap dismissal, really.

Has been choking at the final hurdle since his debut test @ Hamilton apart from the WC game against Australia he's never finished a game and probably thrown away a dozen by now. Crying his eyeballs out will not change anything if there is a batsman whose in need of a world class batting coach/ consultant its Akmal.

a bit harsh probably, but can't disagree at all ...

It was a very good innings to be fair. He had won the game for Pakistan from 10-3 if he did not have that typical Akmal brainfart (4-4-4-W).
He was disappointed so much with himself that he sat on the stairs of dressing room until the match ended. Showed some signs of responsibility, which in my opinion is an improvement in his batting.
I was as disappointed as him when he was caught (I was actually feeling the brainfart before it came) since this was actually a very responsible inzimam-like innings

He got carried away with his 3 fours and started going for glory.

On a very serious note,i think Umar Akmal is better than Bradman.

We all know that you are not to be taken seriously when you are serious or otherwise

 

[smash84]

oh ****.....farthat about to make a second 50 in 4 matches? Which means he will be around for the next 5 series that Pakistan play

 

[smash84]

104/0

 

[Howe_zat]

If there's a chance Farhat can genuinely earn his place back, doesn't there come a point where you have to say well, good for him? Wishing failure on a player because you think he's **** can only go so far.

 

[smash84]

Jake, I feel like slapping you.

Perhaps i will forgive your ignorance regarding farhat's incompetence due to not following his 10+ year career
