Umar Akmal Has Got to Play

Filed Under Cricket News, Cricket Updates, Videos and Photos | Leave a Comment

Pakistan’s middle order at the moment looks extremely congested with big names like Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Misbah, Fawad Alam, Shahid Afridi, and Abdul Razzaq.

Even Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal are part of that when they are not opening.
Then how does a new and upcoming promising batsman like Umar Akmal make his way into the side?
It is not easy but at times tough decisions need to be taken.
The names mentioned above are big ones; most of them senior and experienced cricketers who have served Pakistan for a long time.
But when things are not going right, something has got to give. Pakistan cannot keep hanging on to these tried and tested players just for the sake of seniority.
Misbah’s ODI form has been patchy for a long time now; Mohammad Yousuf’s brief absence actually gave Pakistan a much better balanced ODI outfit.
Then why is Pakistan hell bent on continuing with these batsmen?
Particularly when someone like Umar Akmal is waiting for his chance.
Umar has been in awesome form and this is the best time to give him a taste of international cricket.
In his last 6 first class and List A games against Australia A and Sri Lanka A, Umar has smashed 4 centuries.
Form like that cannot be ignored; moreover his exuberance and aggression can do Pakistan a lot of good, especially when the current middle order is failing to fire.
Come to think of it, it should not even be such a hard decision to take.
If Younis Khan is thinking 2011 then he should not be thinking of Yousuf and Misbah as a part of those plans. I believe it is time for Yousuf and Misbah to concentrate on test cricket and be told that there was no longer a place for them in the ODI team.
That way Umar Akmal can come into the middle order; as can Shoaib Malik with either one of Nasir Jamshed or Imran Nazir partnering Kamran Akmal at the top.
Pakistan should not repeat the same mistake they did with Fawad Alam by keeping Umar on the bench for two years before giving him a proper chance.
Umar Akmal has got to play tomorrow!

Shahid Afridi to Lead Pakistan

Filed Under Cricket News, Cricket Updates, Videos and Photos | Leave a Comment

This 2009 has been some rollercoaster of a year! For me as well as for the Pakistan cricket team.
I’ll save my personal ride for some other time; Pakistan’s ride has been nothing short of dramatic.
Captaincy change, a first home test series in 17 months, an attack on a visiting cricket team, an ODI series against Australia for the first time in half a decade, return of the ICL rebels, a World Cup win, retirements, a first test tour in 17 months, sensational debuts, unexplainable collapses, and what not.
Pakistan cricket has gone through a lot.
During this time, we at Well Pitched have been around riding this roller coaster with them.
Today as I get ready to shift base from the UAE to the UK, I leave with the news that Shahid Afridi has been announced captain of Pakistan’s Twenty20 team.
How awesome is that!
Since the day Well Pitched came online about 2 years ago, I have been writing about two key things that I want to see happen.
One was the permanent inclusion of Fawad Alam in the Pakistan XI in all forms of the game.
The second was the elevation of Shahid Afridi to the position of Pakistan captain.
2009 has seen both those wishes come true.
Couldn’t have asked for more, could I?
What’s best is that this is just the beginning for Fawad Alam and Shahid Afridi the captain!
Surely better and bigger things are yet to come!

Pakistan Have a Selection Problem

Filed Under Cricket News, Cricket Updates, Videos and Photos | Leave a Comment

And for once, it is a good one!

The problem I’m talking about is the one regarding the selection of the playing XI for the upcoming ODIs against Sri Lanka.
With the return of the ICL rebels into the international fold, Pakistan’s 16 man squad looks very strong on paper.
I believe the squad provides Younis Khan with a lot of options; he and the team management have a lot of thinking to do.
Who is going to open?
Will it be the specialists, Imran Nazir and Nasir Jamshed? Will it be Kamran Akmal who had a great impact in the position during the World T20? Or will Fawad Alam continue in his new found role?
If Fawad Alam does not open, does he have a spot in the XI?

With Yousuf’s return, the middle order seems packed with him, Younis, Misbah, Malik, Afridi, Akmal, Razzaq; will Fawad continue to be ignored?

Where will Shahid Afridi bat?
Will he continue in the lower order where he has batted in ODIs for the last 3 years? Will he be used as a floater? Or will he come up the order where he rediscovered his batting form during the World T20?
How will Mohammad Yousuf fit back into the ODI team?
With Yousuf out, Pakistan had the luxury to play with 6 bowling options; with Yousuf back, will they revert to using Malik as the 5th bowler? Or will Misbah or Malik make way for Yousuf?
How will Abdul Razzaq fit into the ODI XI?
Razzaq has not played an ODI for over two years now; does he still have a place in the team? If specialist openers are used with Malik, Afridi, and Akmal in the lower order then where does Razzaq fit in?
There are just some of the questions that Younis Khan and Co. should be looking to answer.
They better be thinking about it.
I surely am and I have still not been able to figure out what the best XI should be.
I always prefer to have 6 bowling options in ODIs; 5 is too big a risk in my view.
At the same time, I am extremely excited about watching a potentially explosive opening pair in Imran Nazir & Nasir Jamshed.
However, if that happens it would leave only 5 bowling options considering that Younis, Yousuf, Misbah, Malik, Afridi, and Akmal are almost garanteed a spot in the XI.
Unless Younis considers himself as the 6th option, which he should going by the way he bowled in the tests.
Given that, who fills in the final 3 spots?
3 pacers? Or Saeed Ajmal and 2 pacers? If Ajmal plays then does Razzaq still make the team as the 2nd pacer?
See the problem I’m talking about. I think it has been a while since Pakistan faced so many options with the selection of an XI.
This is the XI I would look to play.
Q’s XI: 1. Imran Nazir 2. Nasir Jamshed 3. Shahid Afridi 4. Younis Khan 5. Shoaib Malik 6. Fawad Alam 7. Abdul Razzaq 8. Kamran Akmal 9. Umar Gul 10. Mohammad Aamer 11. Saeed Ajmal.
Though I don’t think that will happen. There is no way Younis Khan will drop Yousuf and / or Misbah.
I believe he should.
Which XI will you play?

Ganguly to be KKR captain again?

Filed Under Cricket News, Cricket Updates, Videos and Photos | Leave a Comment


Indian Premier League’s Kolkata Knight Riders is likely to have Sourav Ganguly back as a captain due to skipper Brendon McCullum’s non-availability, according to sources on Saturday.

It has been learnt that Sourav Ganguly and franchisee owner Shah Rukh Khan have discussed KKR captaincy in London.

Controversy-ridden Knight Riders, which floated the idea of ‘multiple captaincy’ to replace Ganguly with Brendon McCullum a day before the tournament, finished at the bottom of the table in IPL 2009 season.

With Brendon McCullum finding it tough to inspire his struggling team, former cricketers also felt Sourav Ganguly should have been handed back the captaincy of the side.
via NDTV

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly, who has retired from international cricket, has been re-appointed as skipper of Kolkata Knight Riders and will lead the franchise in the third edition of the Indian Premier League.
Sourav Ganguly
Ganguly, who only played as a player in the second edition of the IPL, takes over as New Zealander Brendon McCullum, who captained the Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise in South Africa, will be unavailable for the third edition of the IPL due to national duty, according to cricketnext.com.

Kolkata Knight Riders are also looking for a new coach following the sacking of former Australian and team coach John Buchanan after the team’s dismal showing in South Africa, where they only won three of 14 matches to finish last in the points table. Cricketnext.com quoted sources as saying though the KKR team management prefers Dave Whatmore for the job, Ganguly prefers India’s former coach John Wright.

Ganguly didn’t have the best of times in IPL-2 himself as he scored only 189 runs in 11 innings at an average of 17.18 and strike rate of 91.30. In the inaugural edition of the IPL, Ganguly scored 349 runs in 13 innings at an average of 29.08 and strike rate of 113.68 with a highest score of 91.

Dalmiya is a legend in cricket administration: Ganguly

Filed Under Cricket News, Cricket Updates, Videos and Photos | Leave a Comment

Amidst speculation that he is gearing up to take on incumbent Jagmohan Dalmiya in the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) presidential elections next year, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly Friday described the former cricket board chief as a ‘legend’ in the game’s administration.

“He is a legend in cricket administration, and he will be,” Ganguly said in an interview on a Bengali television news channel Star Ananda.

“I am reading lot of speculations about why I want to get into cricket administration. I am not going there to fight anybody. I don’t have any such mentality,” said Ganguly, who will make his debut in cricket administration by attending the July 31 CAB annual general meeting (AGM).

To another query about his probable clash with Dalmiya in the CAB administration, he said: “Both of us have the same goal, to take forward Bengal cricket.”

Gangly said he wanted to use his experience to contribute to Bengal cricket.

“I will try to give my best. Hopefully, I will be acceptable,” he said.

In the run-up to the coming CAB AGM, the anti-Dalmiya opposition had tried to persuade Ganguly to file his nomination for the top post, but Ganguly shied away.
