Umar Akmal-Hero or Zero?

[Xuhaib]

Well the others played in a different era where strike rates were lower across the board.

hence his strikerate is higher with a similar average and tbf both Anwar and Inzi had their fair share of flat tracks, a lot of their runs came in sub cont 300 runs were becoming a common theme for sub cont pitches during their time.

because inzamam did it over the course of 17 years against a variety of different attacks, in all conditions you can possible think of, under sustained pressure from bowling greats and shouldering the kind of responsibility umer akmal's never encountered in his life.

he really was the lynch pin of pakistani batting in a manner no one else has been able to replicate since his retirement

and saeed anwar was heads and shoulders above most of his contemporaries in terms of his achievements. it's completely disingenuous to attempt a direct comparison between the two based on average and strike-rate alone.

 

[Xuhaib]

hence I said only if Umer is able to sustain these stats over a longer period.

One hell of a story. "Umar Akmal converts a cyborg into Islam".

Yuvraj vs Umer after similar number of matches.

Inzi vs Umer

Umer vs Anwar

Umar's picture is terrible

 

[r3alist]

He will continue to seduce pakistani's with promise of being a great player, sometimes dropped, sometimes recalled, maybe another afridi, might only mature around 30.

Neither a hero nor a zero .... talented and exciting but has to get his attitude right
