This glorified slogger has better average and S/R than perfect technique specialist batsmen like Dhawan' date='Rohit,Raina despite never played a single ODI on home pastas. :cantstop:[/quote'] You are judging him based on few cameos against no.8th ranked ODI side. He barely touched 50 once

He's a decent batsmen. Vastly overrated by Pak fans. Will end up with 35-ish average.

The potential batting great hit the bat handle onto his thumb as he was marking guard with the bail - he almost retired hurt before facing a ball. :rofl:

He should bat at #3 in ODIs...
Doesn't have the technique for it imo. He is good at his position but the thing is the top order is so bad he can't finish things (as they have barely started in the first place). no 4 should be the highest he bats. No 3 i'd put misbah.

In certain situations he can be handy. you can call him a "consistent Afridi" if you wish. YOu got a few overs and need some quick runs. He can produce that. We use Raina for that although Raina has produce much longer innings than Umara more often.

He's a lot better than his bro but he is nowhere as good as ab, sanga, dhoni etc in either keeping or batting

LOLwut Check out Dhawan's record. Far better avg/SR, in spite of opening and playing all his matches in bowler friendly conditions. Rohit/Raina I agree. He's in that caliber - similar to our worst batsmen. He's nowhere as good as Kohli, Dhoni, Pujara, Dhawan etc. I'd even put Raina/Rohit ahead of him. Umar Akmal's glory days have all been in the past. Now he's been found out. Raina/Rohit has the clutch gene and wins you important matches (WC 11 and CT 13 being some of them). Here's a very important knock of his - I know you remember this. :--D India vs Pakistan Semi Final Highlights World Cup 2011 - YouTube P.S: It's pattas not pastas. Or I guess it is pastas for you lot cause terrorists shoot cricketers and turn them in shreds resembling pasta.
