Kamran Akmal Batting

[dilojaanpakistan]

Was watching Bolain kya baat hain and Mirza Iqbal Baig talk about Kami batting..

not sure if this is true but he said in last 7 matches Kami have score 74 runs...i did not bother to go and look it up on cricinfo but if that is true, then i'm not sure what this guy is doing in the team...i mean forget about his keeping, but his batting has been pathetic to say the least..

these last 7 test matches include the syd test and 1st test against eng, total drop/miss stump/miss run out chances are 7 by him...

Shuldnt this guy be kicked out too just like Dani?

but then again Dani is not a great cricket and this guy is a "great cricketer' as per our cappo and a great friend of Cappo and The group...

[strongman123]

he is starting to like a complete FTB with the bat and gloves

[Sledger]

Of course he should be out of the team, he's crap. End of.

His batting away from home has always been shocking, he's a true FTB because he has tape ball technique - follows the swinging ball and pokes away from his body with attempted glides.

[dilojaanpakistan]

so what do we do if he is selected in the team for the 2nd test?

I'm not supporting pakistan if he is playing..makes it easier for me...

hopefully a 4-0 will bring some changes and end of the career for some of thse paindu's

[sami231]

guys I am no fan of kamran but he is a good batsman .... He scored four consecutive fifties .. one in srilanka and then three against newzealand in new zealand. He also scored 46 in lords test as well as winning the test at headingley with his batting. But I also believe he should be dropped as our wicketkeeper and is not good enough as a batsman alone

Your not gonna support support pakistan cause of one player? thats just plain stupid. I am not a fan of Kamran Akmal but if he plays the second test, he will have my full support as he is playing for Pakistan.

People like you should not even watch Cricket, it's Kamran now, some other day it will be someone else making you not want to support Pakistan. Basically you are never going to be supporting Pakistan?
I'm not a Kamran Akmal fan right now, but when he's on the field he will have my full support. Hoping Pakistan loses 4-0 is pathetic and what exactly is that going to do? We lost every match in Australia did that change anything?

really?

when did that happen?

that is a nice surprise

Bro its not about one player, its about those who deserve to get a chance is not getting a chance....it has nothing to do with one player ...if kami deserved to be here but i didn't like him, i would still support the team but he does not deserve to be there and hence he is in the team coz of his friends etc...

those who support people like shoaib malik and kami deserve what they are getting...

I could never do that. Will never stop supporting Pakistan

let me make it clear, its not kami only, its his brother also, its also imran farhat, its also shobby malik..its this lobby..to them its more impt to back their friends and family member than playing for pakistan..

it is because people think like you is why we have zardari running the country and ijaz butting running the pcb..

i know enough cricket to know what i'm talking about..

anytime you or anyone wants to discuss cricket, lets do it ...

but i wont support ppl like kami since they are in the team coz of their friends and contacts not coz of the performence..

[dilojaanpakistan]

I could never do that. Will never stop supporting Pakistan

nothing wrong with that bro..

its just you ..

but i can't stand undeserving players keep on getting chances coz of their friends and family while deserving players gets their career end coz they have no contacts...before we drop DK, we needed to get rid of Kami...why is he in the team?
what has he done in last 2 years other than droping catches and handing over matches to the other team?

Really?he got 15 in the first innings and 13 in the second. thats not really a match winning contribution with the bat

[Down2Earth]

kamran akmal is the master at providing slip catching practice to the opposition. i think he forgets which team he's playing for

[cricfanatic]

chotu should be fired

[ehjaz]

On cricinfo if we filter his batting statistics, it comes down as

last 8 matches he has scored 398 runs at an avg of 26.53 with highest of 82 against NZ

[Amjid Javed]

His battings been poor over last 9 months and his keeping is non-excistant!

He should be dropped.

[dilojaanpakistan]

not dropped..

his name should be place on exit control list from Lahore..he should not be allowed to leave Lahore..

this moron alone have cost us two out of 3 test matches that he played in..

he would have been history in any other country..

even india would have got rid of him even if they didnt' have dhoni ..they would have kept with RD instead

[cricfanatic]

Mushfiq is better than kamran

[The_EQUALIZER]

Agree 99%.

Yes agree in fact I believe that Kamran shouldn't be part of this squade to begin with. He should have been kicked out of the squade right after the Sydney test.

As for Kaneria .........Bring in a decent wicket keeper and you will see kaneria's performance get better.

[Poison]

He should be dropped.

His keeping was actually really REALLY good in the 1st two Tests v Australia ... I hope this Test was just another abberation :asif

[hasanmehmoodkhan]

I think this series should be Kamran's last before he is given a rest. from what i read on this site and other sites is that zulqarnain as good batsmen with ok keeping. which i think is not good for pak team we need the best keeper in pakistan. whoever that may be .
