http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/cricket/umar-suspected-of-faking-strain-in-protest-against-kamrans-sacking/story-fn4p8efj-1225818207376 Umar Akmal suspected of faking strain in protest against Kamran's sacking EMBATTLED Pakistan has plunged into a fresh crisis amid accusations that young batsman Umar Akmal tried to pull out of the Hobart Test in protest at the sacking of older brother Kamran. The Herald Sun can reveal some Pakistan players suspected Umar may have feigned an injury after he declared himself unfit for the third Test, starting Thursday. "I'm not playing, I have a side strain," Umar, 19, told the Herald Sun at the team's hotel yesterday morning. The development came just 24 hours after his brother, Kamran, and Pakistan cricket officials were at loggerheads over who would keep in the Test, with the national board insisting replacement keeper Sarfraz Ahmad would play. But fearing Umar was faking injury yesterday in protest at his brother's treatment, Pakistan sent him for medical scans, which revealed no obvious injury. Umar was passed fit and told he must play even though he later claimed he still had muscle tightness. To add to the confusion, Kamran maintained his brother had a "back problem" and Umar sat out training at Bellerive Oval yesterday. When told yesterday that Umar had declared himself unfit, Australian skipper Ricky Ponting said: "It might be in protest. It's a strange situation. Umar has looked their second best batsman behind (Mohammad) Yousuf." In another twist, Kamran will have a say in whether he plays in Hobart because, as vice-captain, as he is part of the four-man selection committee, along with captain Yousuf, coach Intikhab Alam and team manager Abdul Raqeeb. - with Badel Hobart

Umar is a genius:hatsoff: "...today in Pakistan it is being reported that another reason for Akmal's problems may have been because he was required to do all-night babysitting sessions during the Test: eyewitnesses say that Kamran was often seen pacing the corridor with his baby in his arms." :sniffle:

Imagine the scene where kids in the neighbourhood are playing kirkit on the street. Typically you can find boys from the same household as well... When match is going on nicely, suddenly you hear a shout from the balcony.. Mom is calling out for elder brother to come and finish his homework.. Frustrated that he has to go, the elder brother bullies his younger brother to tag along, threatening him that he'll do this or that or tell dad this or that and get him punished.. younger brother has no choice but to follow...

[The Outsider]

It might be the Australian media having a field day as well - Umar has a back sprain supposedly. Neither scenario would surprise me though.

[Sachinism]

Umar said he had a back sprain, but they checked him out with the physio and no problem was found
