"Afridis are not born everyday, invest in academies" Johannesburg: Terming the ICC Champions Trophy the toughest event, Pakistan vice-captain Shahid Afridi on Friday evening hinted that a victory in the series here would be a watershed event for Pakistan, as the Pakistan squad has many inexperienced players. ‘A lot depends on our performance in the Champions Trophy and I am looking forward to this elite competition,’ Afridi told a gathering at a reception hosted in his honour by the Pakistani expatriate community in South Africa for his outstanding performance in the World Twenty20 in England where Pakistan beat Sri Lanka in the final at Lord’s. ‘If Pakistan is not that successful in the Champions Trophy I would hope that PCB continue to invest in academies and training institues. The Anwar's, Inzibhai's and Afridi's are not born everyday, we need more academies to groom promising cricketers’. He however, said the Champions Trophy would be the toughest of cricketing events as the best eight teams will be battling for supremacy. A gold medal was presented to Afridi for his excellent show in the World Twenty20 where he won the man-of-the-match awards in the semi-final and the final. Lt Gen ® Tauqir Zia, former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), complimented Afridi for his superb performance in world event held in England. ‘Afridi without any shadow of doubt is Pakistan cricket history’s most popular player,’ he stressed. Pakistan take on the Warriors for their second warm up match, tomorrow.

‘Afridi without any shadow of doubt is Pakistan cricket history’s most popular player' date=’ he stressed. :hysterical:
He is right. Afridi is the most popular player in Pakistan. This is a statement of the common cricket fan there.

i dunno why, i like him a lot, though he flaps most of the times! But Afridi at T20 WC was entirely different & terrific indeed, and if he continues the same tempo, its difficult for the opposition, though there are many other craps in the team to drop his shoulders! :hysterical:

He averages less than 17 in SA. Ghanta khelega!! Harbhajan is a better batsman.

Afridi stats are poor indeed but earlier he was just a utility player who was only expected to contribute few overs & runs. He was never expected to be a reliable player but recently he has showed how dangerous he can be if he use patience. He single handedly won a WC by being little careful. :hatsoff:

http://fakeiplplayer.blogspot.com/ The brainless animal is apparenly married...but still doesn't shy of flirting --- but gets his @$$ whopped in return. A hilarious account by the Fake IPL blogger.
Confusion, instead of cricket, is the name of the game that the Weapons of Self Destruction (WSDs) - Al Pakeezah are playing. They probably thought that they have 3 warm up games instead of 2. After yesterday's game, their left arm grenade hurler hurled abuses at his Captain - Bhindi Khan - for being left out of the side. Their other strike bowler - Kumar Bull - is also complaining about the constant changes in the field while he is bowling. Mr. Missed-by-5-Runs is a tad more polite and has softly told Bhindi Khan that he should be batting at No. 4 and not No. 7. Won't be too long before others also join in. I think one more loss for them and the revolt in the ranks will be out in the open. Talking about the WSDs, their run of bad luck seems to be following them even off the field. After the game last night, 6-7 of them made their way to an upmarket club in Soho that costs about 500 Pounds cover per table and is frequented by Football stars. They entered the place all wide eyed, made their way to the bar, leaned on the counter, looked around casually, trying too hard to be cool. A familiar sight really. A bunch of desi guys in a club trying to look cool, without realising that if they really were cool they'd already be with chicks. The leader of this pack was the failed warrior of their tribal region, who spends more time walking from and to the pavilion than in the middle. He's the one who would approach the girls. Why he was chosen as the ring leader will remain one of the biggest mysteries to ever confront mankind. And with pick up lines like "Will you dance", "Why you laugh", "We are cool guys", "You have spikes in your eyes" it's not really surprising that they returned empty handed.
