Ram Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 We have all heard guys like Glenn McGrath, Warne, Gilchrist, Warne, Tendulkar,Dravid, Lara, Akram, Bond, Steyn etc being termed as their team's biggest Match-winners. Now, a new term is being inducted into cricketing jargon and only one person is comprehensively responsible for it - Shahid Khan Afridi. I am honored to announce that Shahid Afridi is this year's biggest Match-loser. This title belongs solely to those who have this outstanding talent of letting their team down, when it requires their help the most and who else, but Afridi, can claim to be the proud owner of this title! From here, every year, the biggest match-loser's award will be conferred to those who won most matches for the opposition. But unsurprisngly, Afridi has, by default, won this award for the last 10 years and will continue to win, every year, till he retires. Till then, good luck to others. Bravo Shahid Afridi!!! :congrats: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomainK Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I just heard that all the beasts in the jungle died out of sheer shame and embarrassment when someone told them that they are being compared with Afridi, the biggest match loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomainK Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 And oxford has added a new word to the dictionary: Afridi : Noun: Match loses, some one who helps the opponents, a big loser (nah, even bigger than you can imagine)- The guys is such an Afridi, he was checking why is gun was not working, he looked into the barrel and pressed the trigger. Verb: The act of being the biggest loser- The tiger afridied when he fell prey to the deer. Adjective Afridishq: The quality of being an afridi- It was afridishq of him to sell such sensitive information to traitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wicket Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 This term is hardly new. I remember a few of us using it on the old boards when THE REAL BEASTLY BEASTLY PATHAN OMG SIX HITTER had his bowling chewed up and shat out by MS Dhoni and Sehwag and then got a spectacular second ball duck in the 05 home ODI series (second game at Vizag). The dismissal btw was QUALITY. He had gotten particularly pissed off (or incredibly youthfully aggressive) over a LBW shout being turned down and then being hit all over the park by MSD and Sehwag, to the point of having 9-0-82-0 as his bowling figures. Truly all rounder material. So when Goofy Nehra waddled in to bowl, The Beastly Beastly Six Hitter of Doom charged down the pitch straight away while he was still running in, thoughts of clouting the ball into the next time zone obviously filling his normally empty head. He swung with enough power to send a breeze back in Nehra's face, sadly the Legendary Real Pathan never connected. And his stumps went flying, and MUCH laughter ensued. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
