Asia Cup 2010 - Sri Lanka

As long as the clown kamran akmal is in the team, we will not win a single match. i could not watch Sri lankan innings but i have been told he missed two chances in the match. he also got run out at crucial along with his brothers. What have these Akmals got against pakistan? We have to lose kamran at least to have any chance of winning.

You see he is usefull:D
 
Farhat is only in the team because of his father-in-law :facepalm

Anyway, we need about 3 wickets in the first 10-13 overs; one of them being Sehwag to stand a chance of winning. I think we're about 30 runs short on this track
 
Getting rid of Umar Amin is no solution. He is a solid talent but like anyone new on the international scene takes his time to settle

@ Master Khan: Samiulllah argued that Kamran should not be allowed to keep wickets. His batting is upto scratch though.

Disappointed with our batting today. Ramiz said it right there was too much start-stop cricket fom Pakistan. UAKmal played a very stupid shot and is getting far too arrogant these days. Shots should be based on the balls and pre-meditation will not make you succesful. We missed the trick with PP3. Should have been taken near the 42 over mark, when Afridi and Akmal was batting. Good knock from Salman Butt too and carelessly ran himself out. Still a competitive total though.

India need to get 205 to stop pakistan from getting the bonus point. The bowlers are bowling pretty well.
 
Regardless of the sighting problem, our opening bowlers are bowling fast and well. :)

I agree with both master khan and sami ullah to an extent. I think Kamran warrants a place in the shorter versions but not in the longer version. The reason being that he drops way too many catches in test cricket (maybe unable to sustain concentration?) as compared to the shorter formats. His batting in the tests is offset by his shoddy keeping. However he is a good hitter and doesn't drop as many catches in the shorter versions. Thus he should be in the team.
 
Lol at the last misfield by kamran...

India will need to fight hard on this stadium where lights are low and bounce uneven
 
This is what cricinfo is saying:

'it took India seven minutes to get a runner on the field'.

Yeah Akmal deserves a place in the limited overs formate, but I do agree that most of his drops are due to lack of concentration. But then again most our players have poor concentration levels and that is the main reason we are a fail at the TEST level

Good stuff from the bowlers, but we havent been able to get a wicket. Need to do so to get a relatively inexperienced Indian middle order out.
