I would be happier when he plays his 100th test

Well Done Gul!

Congratulations and I hope you are man of the match tomorrow.

[attock]

A brilliant player, always gives his all on the pitch...........

Hope he blows away the England team tomorrow :)

[Desi_Joker]

Economy of 5 an over is bad... but there's no doubting Gully's match winning ability. Congrats to the man essential to our World T20 final in 2007 and win in 2009.

[talha3]

Despite doubts at times about his test credentials, there have never really been any about Gul-the ODI bowler.

His two performances against England in the last ODI series were a couple of his most memorable. Hope he can produce the same consistency and threat throughout this series.

[Zaz]

Congrats! I hope to see his old yorkers back in this series and those figures of his improve relatively by his next set of 100 odis

[farazaidi]

Weldone Gullay!!

Round of applause to Umar Gul, he is a great man.

[Inswinger]

The one constant fro Pakistan's pace attack in the past 5+ years. Great guy.

[W63L35]

Surprisingly 201 players have played 100 ODIs.... Gul will be 202nd.

But a total of only 108 bowlers have taken 100+ wickets.....and 61 bowlers have taken 145 or more wickets.

I would be happier when he plays his 100th test


Khudaa naa karey..

[Aly]

Khudaa naa karey..

don't worry, he would only play the great game if he deserved

After all It's not the pajama cricket where the public pressure :afridi or Firdous Aashiq Awaan could influence his selection

[W63L35]

Among ODI bowlers with 130-160 wickets.....


Gul..... has better average than Marshall & Botham......

[Theo_14]

A respected player who has distanced himself away from controversies. Works his socks of whenever he plays for Pakistan - need more players like him.

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

^ Wish he can replicate some of that stuff! :)

Very good player he is on his day. Great person. Congrats too him.

[Square Drive]

Oyyyyy, well done Gully bhai! :adnan

[dhump]

Very hardworking cricketer not as natural as many others but not far behind in being useful hope he gets his good form back soon.

[freelance_cricketer]

Well done Gulleya !

He is a work horse and i just noticed now that he hasn't been in any controversies. That's a wonderful track record for a Pakistani fast bowler. Good on him. He's gonna get a lot more wickets, hopefuly not against us. :veeru

[coy0607]

honestly Im surprised he hasnt already played a 100 odis yet, he been around for a long time (since wasim/waqar), and hes been a regular in the team for a few years too... to put it in perspective UAkmal is already up to 54 and hes only been around the last couple of years.

Nah, he made his debut after the 2003 World Cup...I think in that years Sharjah Cup.

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Best of luck Gully! We love you for your hard work.

Too many injuries

After 2004 test series against India, he was out for almost two years, if iam not wrong.

[khalil1986]

Excellent LOI bowler.

[w8in_4_0402]

Well done Gulllyyyy.

One of my favs in our current team. Can't fergot his maych winnings spells, such a gifted match winner.

[PakPrince]

to be a talented Pakistani fast bowler for this long and not be involved in any controversy at all is some achievement! :D

long may it stay that way!

[whyamir]

Well done Gulllyyyy.

One of my favs in our current team. Can't fergot his maych winnings spells, such a gifted match winner.

Yeah me too man. His "match winning spell" in Mohali almost took us to the world cup final dude; The awesomeness of that spell still haunts me to this day.



just kidding, he is a great bowler mashallah! :yk

[shahrukh619]

Umar Gul isn't a good test bowler, but he is a very good bowler in ODI's....

[Fawad2010]

:14:

+1

:14: for Gul on this milestone in his career, may he get a lot more wickets in the future!

[hhhhdmt]

People can dislike him or whine about him as much as they want, truth is he has not disgraced Pakistan the way "great talents" like Asif and Amir have. He is reliable, hardoworking, and is improving. If only he can bowl those yorkers more consistently.

[saeedhk]

Wish him all the best!

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Umar Gul isn't a good test bowler, but he is a very good bowler in ODI's....

look at his record in the past year and half, hes getting better

[Watsupdoc]

What a 100th ODI :14:

[Safar55]

What happened to his yorkers? he used to be able to bowl them at will in T20 death overs... ? Great 100th ODI BTW, will be remembered for a long time - by Cook, Finn and Samit

[sunnykhan]

Top player! Humble person! Great person!

[Zaz]

Honestly he is so frustrating!! Quite toothless once again today
