Ravi Shastri on Shaheen Afridi

Shaheen hasnt been the same ever since he mocked Indian batters on the field, Rohit, KL etc. Hes going to suffer a massive wrath of rubbing Indian top order the wrong way. 

Naseem Shah is good and has a bright future, but they said the same about Hasan Ali who has regressed massively.  

Let's see what he is like after injury.

Gill is definitely a very special talent. A GOAT in the making. I don’t know who Yashasvi is.

So far, Gill and Rohit both looked uncomfortable against Naseem Shah’s opening spells in both games. But Gill get hold of him at some point as well. 
 

As for Ravi Shastri and his comments. The old man is salty because that spell in 2021 WC bamboozeled India and effectively ended Ravi’s stint with India. A couple of average days in the office for Shaheen and he quickly pounced on the opportunity to make things even. 
A real pundit knows that no player performers day in and out, every game, every series. Every player has ups and downs. 

Not just a couple.

 

He has failed more often than succeeded.

 

2022 World Cup Kohli smacked him around.

Talent cannot be measured. Naseem Shah is nearly the perfect fast bowler. 

One shouldn’t even be talking about cricket if they can’t see it. 

 

What can be SEEN is Naseem's average of 68 in Australia, 69.33 in England and 73 in New Zealand.

If these are GOAT's as per Pakistan, they I must say Pakistan has minnow level standards for their GOAT.

No one calls Rahul or Kishan as best for India, they might be the superstars as per Pakistani standards.

 

For India, apart from Gill, next gen superstar is Yashasvi..once he is in the setup all your Naseem's and Shaheen's will run away mid of the match with an excuse of injury.

So I would say, this was the good time of Pakistan..these last few years. Now all you will get is tears and broken TV's.

Even in these "good times" the WL is 6-2

 

If you even include CT 17 final its 9-3 

 

The last two years were complete "covid tax". IPL got delayed thus exhausting Indian players plus it happened in "win toss" Dubai rather than India. Normal service was restored from last year (Considering they were losing more often than not, normal service had never stopped but w/o covid would have prolly lost those as well).

Pakistan's successes against India are so less (and in general) that they celebrate the most meaningless things.

 

Asia Cup 14 is a great victory for them. It was a group stage match in an AC which Pakistan didn't even win.

Shaheen's spell in AC23 is a memorable spell for them. It was a NR match on a dodgy pitch.

 

We defeated Pak in AC 10, 16, 18, 18, 23 and went on to win the cup. No one talks about it much or celebrates it.

 

T20WC21 is a great deal for them. They won a group stage match and got kicked out in semis.

 

T20WC07 we won the group stage match and won the cup. Only reason we remember that is the Pakistani mainline bowlers couldn't hit three stumps while Indian part-timers could.

 

Not to mention T20WC12, 14 and 16 which no one even remembers.

 

I mean they were celebrating the win of their 197th ranked football team over 177th ranked Cambodia yesterday lol.

hum tumhare baap hai.

 

India has the 2nd most number of trophies after Australia, tied with WI. Also won more away series.

 

And I wasn't talking about just cricket.

 

Where are your metros? Does Karachi, your biggest city have one?

 

Your space program?

 

Your Asian games sports tally? Your olympics tally? Your economy? etc etc

 

Yaad rakhna, hum tumhare baap hai

Hahaha technically baat to sai hai. 
Pakistan was born from India, so in a sense it is a father.

But certainly not a good father based on how he treated the son from day 1.

The convo on this thread reminds me of a very forgettable AB movie

 

 

AB looked like a walking talking can opener in this movie. 

 

Shaheen Shah could use this troll his opponents, after paying due royalty to the makers of this movie.

 

What are we discussing even?

Yeah, India has had an upper hand this past decade. Overall, India has been the better team and 2012-2019 was our worse team ever. This decade, the team is better on paper and need more experience.

Ravi kay zamanay main Sunil Gavaskar used to open the bowling for India and he is having a go at one of the better young bowlers in the world (Naseem being the best) struggling with Injury.

Pakistani fans have now fully developed minnow mentality the way they are celebrating sofa set's 5 wicket haul when opposition has already ran up a gigantic score and now just slogging blindly.

Nobody is celebrating his 5 wickets but just funny how people talk crap about him as if there are many young bowlers of his quality.

Why are you guys so insecure getting triggered over anything and everything?

 

He literally said he's a good bowler , can pick up wickets but there's no need to overhype him to be the next Wasim Akram. Bas utni si baat pe poori qaum ne r@ndi rona lagaya rakha hain 4 din se...

Shahenshah was a Huge Hit. The second highest grosser of 1988 after Tezab.

shaheen trundler is slower than old age Shami dont belive me chck shaeen trundler bowling speed in this wc and check shami bowling speed when he last played during asia cup. Pakistani bowlers are 4 over format bowlers. BTW your extra phaast trundler Rauf conceded 70 runs in first 5 overs , thats a world record even an associate team d grade bowlers were never thrashed like this ever.

Khopdi mein dimagh hain ya tatti? 

 

Was it Ravi Shastri who sat in India Today, Republic TV or whatever and compared Shaheen with Akram? He was addressing everyone who was going overboard with the praise as if SSA is Dale Steyn of 2012 on steroids..
