Pakistan should play their natural aggressive game, feels Mohammad Akram – Cricket News Update
Former Pakistani fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, instead of playing defensive, should go for the aggressive game they are best known for. He believes there is no reason for the Green Shirts to brush aside their natural instincts and be resistive, especially when it’s their major strength.
Pakistani team was in the depths of despair after the tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, during which the spot-fixing scandal came forth and shook the foundations of cricket within the country. However, the team managed to re-emerge as one of the most potent cricketing forces in the world.
Most cricket analysts around the world believe that Pakistan, as a nation, is the richest country when it comes down to cricketing talent. This is the reason why the Green Shirts have always been on the forefront even though the country’s domestic cricket structure is weak.
Speaking to Pakpassion, Akram expressed that Pakistan should use Umar Akmal for all the three formats of the game since he is capable enough to turn the tables within no time. He further added that Akmal can develop into an even better player if the management uses him wisely.
Akram stated, “People say Umar Akmal is too big for his boots, but what is truly required is proper handling of the player by the manager or coach. He is the golden boy and can easily become a great cricketer if someone looks after him – he certainly has all the shots.”
Akram then said that strong players like Akmal should be held onto and trained to be more productive. Moving away from Akmal, Akram said that fast bowler http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Talha-c77400 is a good prospect for the team and he should be given enough opportunities to prove himself.
“There is a consistent theme to all these issues – the team need players who can come in and change the game. Whether that be through http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Akmal-c94595 in the middle order, or the introduction of Mohammad Talha's extra pace which is our traditional strength, we need some sort of X-factor”, he added.
