Hope Umar Akmal has a big partnership with Yousuf and learns a thing or two about test batting.
Leave Umar alone, his dismissal in the last Test to Swann was largely as a result of him trying to play more circumspectly. He's got talent, and should be allowed to play his natural game.

Afridi has got talent too. Doesn't count for **** if one doesn't have temperament to match talent in test cricket.

There's a difference between the two, Afridi came out at Lord's and tried to hit every single ball he faced out of the ground.

I've no problems with Umar Akmal playing his natural game, I think naturally attacking batsmen suffer when they try to reign in their game. Kevin Pietersen is the perfect example.

Can't see our batting falling over themselves in an attempt to get out as quickly as possible two innings in a row. Reckon Strauss is due a score.
