kumble_rocks Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 :lmao: :lmao: If appointed , at age 15 he will be youngest captain ever in cricket history :hic: :hic: With Pakistan Cricket Board still to settle down on a candidate to succeed Inzamam-ul Haq, all-rounder Shahid Afridi on Friday threw his hat in the ring to captain the senior team, saying he would prove to be a good leader. The PCB last week said they would decide on the name of a captain and coach in a month?s time as Inzamam stepped down from the post following Pakistan inglorious first round exit from the World Cup. Afridi, who has never captained the senior team, said he had been captaining his domestic team for quite some time and was still to hear any complaint about his leadership skills. ?I think I have it in me to become a good captain. This is a big responsibility but also the ultimate dream of every player,? Afridi said. ?That is why I would be willing to captain the senior team if the job is offered to me. It will be a big challenge for me,? he said. http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1089365 Link to comment

Captain of Bhangra Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Re: AFRIDI - ready to be PAK Skipper LOLLLLL!!!! HAHAHAHAHA Oh please God, please make the PCB appoint Afretard as captain, that would help us forget the problems we're having!... Link to comment
head coach Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Re: AFRIDI - ready to be PAK Skipper Afridi is being played in the wrong batting position by pakistan team. He scored 70% of his total ODI runs as an opener. 3 out of 4 centuries as an opener and 22 out of 27 half centuries as an opener, then why the heck are they not using him as an opener? He's case is like Tendulkar's in the sense both performs well at opener spot and crumbles to pressure when they play in any other position. Link to comment
novpj Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Re: AFRIDI - ready to be PAK Skipper ..and just like SRT Afridi is trying to fix the batting position issue by angling for the captainship + the fact that he doesnt get along with Youis Khan might have somthing to do with this. Link to comment

Tests he feels comfortable at 5th position and hence this issue you described. I was only referring to the limitations batsmen are dealt with when it comes to batting position. Tendulkar and Afridi are in the same boat in ODIs whether you like it or not! Link to comment
