The Outsider Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 Kamran, the warrior has been given charge of the troops. Drumbeats are reverberating all across the cricketing world. Leaders are back where they belong. All hail the messiah of Pakistan cricket - Shahid Afridi!
The Outsider Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 What the hell is wrong with this guy, can't he think beyond wars, animals, beasts, fights, and boots! Pakistan cricket has its last chance to get its house in order before a tough summer of cricket against Australia and England. The Asia Cup might be considered a distraction but it is also another shot at gathering momentum and resurrecting some damaged careers. Shahid Afridi has put all bans behind him by claiming the national captaincy in all formats, a mighty responsibility. In the absence of viable alternatives, Afridi is the best choice. He is a leader rather than a tactician, and requires a more creative mind to cajole him through those confusing moments in the middle of an international match. He could turn to his new vice-captain, Salman Butt, although their coupling is virgin. He might consider the repentant sinner that is Shoaib Malik, although their past entanglements suggest otherwise. The same would apply to Shoaib Akhtar, pardoned and toned up for action. What about Kamran Akmal, Umar Akmal, or Mohammad Asif? All sinners too, now forgiven. Indeed, the PCB has suddenly swapped its jackboot for a velvet glove. Nobody really expected otherwise, even though the routine on this occasion has been even more brazen than usual. Rana Naved-ul Hasan, a player who admitted underperforming on duty for his country, is fortunate that the PCB has lost all notion of justice. Despite some encouraging selections for the Asia Cup, does anybody still respect this cricket administration? Now only two wounded beasts remain in the wilderness. Mohammad Yousuf perhaps prefers the wilderness? He still has runs in him at Test level but his decision about a return, dependent on the advice of elders, seems unclear and opportunistic. He is too great a batsman to squander his talent with this dithering. Meanwhile, Younis Khan would welcome a return to international cricket but he will not do it with a compromise. Why should a World Cup winning captain agree to pay a fine when he isn't guilty, especially when he is the victim of a conspiracy? Paying a fine is an admission of guilt, and Younis has too much pride to sell his soul. It is rare for a modern Pakistan cricketer to make a stand on principle. It is even rarer for the current cricket board to admit it has made a mistake. It should. Afridi requires a wise counsel and the summer of Tests requires a middle-order batsman with an average of over 50. Younis seeks justice but in Pakistan cricket there is no reward for dignity. http://blogs.cricinfo.com/pakspin/archives/2010/06/no_reward_for_dignity.php

Sachinism Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 It would have been shocking, but its Afridi and Pakistan so you kinda expect it
Mr. Wicket Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Apparently he is retiring soon, so Pakistan can experience both a warrior's and coward's death. :rotfl:
Desi Cartman Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Apparently he is retiring soon' date=' so Pakistan can experience both a warrior's and coward's death. :rotfl:[/quote'] He is injured .... brain injuries can be quite damaging ............... for the followers :hysterical:
Ram Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Afridi is useful to the Pakistani team team only as long as Pakistan wins, coz then they can all say it was entirely due to his captaincy. Now that they’ve lost and he hardly made ANY difference in the match, sit back and watch as the ‘Debate’ begins and rages on.

saneindian Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 His cricket career is nearing an end. Soon will be sacked from all formats.
Mr. Wicket Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 cant injury something that doesnt exist. Thats not how the injury bijiness works :headshake: Indeed. This is also why Shoaib has never cited a spine injury among his 16,258 excuses.
Holysmoke Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Talking of Shoaib "I hope one day I will be given that chance before I retire as it's still my dream to captain Pakistan," the 'Rawalpindi Express' reportedly told a website. Seriously... http://cricketnext.in.com/news/akhtar-wants-to-be-pakistan-captain/47287-13.html
Clarke Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Another funny writer: Much of this has to do with his DNA. The Afridi tribe originated from brutal mountainous terrain overlapping Afghanistan and Pakistan. Even today, the name evokes ferocity, daring, and fearlessness. Shahid Afridi's approach to cricket has been nothing short of tribal warfare. Background, context, and meaning are pushed to the periphery. It's all about the immediacy of the challenge, the moment of conflict, the act of confrontation and battle. He has a bag of tricks that would make Warne proud: a classic legbreak that heads towards first slip after pitching on middle or leg, a topspinner that jags up viciously from a length, a googly, a finger-spun offbreak that comes out of the blue, and a straight fast ball, hurled with the seam up. Wristspinners are supposed to be enigmatic and mysterious, but Afridi embellishes the art with threatening body language, combative appealing and hostile eye contact as only Afridi can. http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/567955.html
