Umar Akmal equals record of bagging most T20I ducks

LAHORE: Umar Akmal, Pakistan’s middle-order batsman has proved to be the unluckiest player to make a come back with a ‘bang’ of two consecutive ‘golden ducks’ and two unwanted records in Twenty20 International cricket --- setting a Pakistan record of bagging the most ducks on Saturday and equaling world record of the most ducks on Monday.

When he was dismissed for a nought on the very first ball he played in the first T20I, it was his ninth duck in his 83rd T20I, and he broke the Pakistan record earlier set by Shahid Afridi, who bagged eight ducks in his 99 T20Is.

Again in the second T20I, he bagged another ‘golden duck’, and the tenth duck in 84 matches to equal the world record set by Sri Lanka’s Dilshan Tillekaratne.

3 brothers in a national team, it self is a world record.

Ok guys this is a good thing. There is immense pressure on umar and shezad now..Thank God they didnot perform otherwise we would have been seeing these performances from them in the t20 wc. Misbah and co will get rid of them soon....

 

[litman]

are you serious?

yup. this was all over the media when he became selector and head coach. waqar is getting around 20.

He is ambitious going after 50 ducks in Career

Pakistan Cricket Board gets 200 Million dollars from ICC every year

For that kind of money, they should have

a) Repaired all stadiums in Pakistan
b) Created Cricket Academies and free coaching for Kids
c) Sponsored 1,000+ Cricket grounds in-the country for children


200 Million Dollars is a lot of money they could have even helped Pakistan Hockey / or Pakistan Football with few million dollar donation

I doubt even 50-100 employees work in Pakistan Cricket board most people are freelancers who work like Wasim Akram, contractor


The only reasonable event PCB hosts is the PSL league


When I watched PCB or Pakistani Man of match award ceremony they hand out they silly $100 or $500 gift check ? I laugh .... at it .... getting 200 million dollar from ICC and then cheaping out on Man of match awards

can you share source?

Haven't seen a match lately, specially when found out akmal and shehzad were back, i mean wtf? Decision of replacing micky arthur with misbah was also stupid, just a needless action to show after worldcup.

They only needed to get rid of Inzi, but Micky was pretty good and was shaping the team nicely. It was the allo with his pathetic thinking that costed us the world cup.

How could Misbah hold three position at same time i.e cheif selector, head coach of PCB and head coach of Islamabad United

He may be good coach for test format but he is not right coach for shorter format..i personally want Sarfraz, Misbah, Akmal, Shazad out permanently..make Babar azam captain and find and invest in young talents
