Mohammad Amir makes a come-back

[Asim]

We know many from Pak do some tweaking with their age but I guess he genuinely looks like 23,24... 25 at most

[Asim]

Amir bowled four spells of six, three, four and three overs respectively. The opening spell with the new ball was the most dangerous. He bowled on a good length, mixing it up with swift bouncers, and his pace touched 140kph. He missed a hat-trick chance in his fourth over, when he dismissed two in two with a teasing length - the first edging to gully after being forced on to the back foot, followed by a inswinger that was nicked to second slip. He steamed in for his third successive scalp but ended up losing his line. His second spell was ragged, as he conceded 31 runs, including a no-ball that not only beat the batsman outside off but also passed the keeper for a boundary. "It happens, you concede runs when you are trying to get wickets," Amir said. "It was a time when we needed a wicket and had to push and prevent both batsmen getting settled. So I went on but it didn't go well." .. "Nothing in cricket has changed so far as I still can bowl an inswinger with control," Amir said afterwards. "It was a good experience but it feel like starting from zero as I have lost everything. It was hard but the first ball I bowled here was with a belief that I can do it. In sport you can only be great or become a legend when you cope with the pressure and adapt in every circumstance. I today tried to give 100 percent but I need time to regain my rhythm and it will come the more cricket I play in the coming days. "But what is important is that I was controlling my game and myself. I know a bad thing happened in my life and I regret that. It has gone and it was a lesson for me. That was my peak back then but I can't get that back. I am more concerned about my future. The fitness aspect, which I will be working on more in coming days, will further relax me in my bowling. " http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/story/849335.html

^ noticed that :cantstop:

[sandeep]

Aamir getting caught up in fixing was a tragedy. I feel a lot of sympathy for him as a person, because no 20 year old should be defined by one mistake. However, cricket as a sport and pakistan cricket in particular, i don't think it can afford to bring back a player from such a scandal.

[cricketfan28]

amir will come back stringly .. should play in BPL

[Akash_Cric]

Only in that country would a fixer be allowed to play cricket. In honest countries like India fixers like Sreesanth(who was as good as Amir despite the hype) was thrown away forever.

I hate when people sweep in and play the innocence card as if he was 15 yrs old. He was fully aware of what he was doing....He thought he could get away with it too, got caught, paid price. Hopefully, he has learned a thing or two.

A proven Indian great like Azhar couldnt complete his 100 tests

[FischerTal]

pakistan need a right arm fast bowler right now, they have enough lefties

[Akash_Cric]

Yup if he was in Pakistani than he would have been bought back given a huge reception for his 100th test and probably been made captain. :haha:

Time for pakis to buy new jackets with lot of pockets

[cric_fan]

Aww look at some of these Indian's crying :hysterical:

Time for Indians to buy some:

Shame on pakis to support thugs....

I dont get this hate on Amir. Everyone deserves a second chance. Banned for 5 Years, Served jail in the UK, Hence he got his part of punishment, And if now someone puts up a question at him isnt he being unfair to him?

Sarfaraz Nawaz Mode : Yeh Pakka Juwari hai .Jis team mei Moin Khan , Waqar aur inka Chairman Najam sethi rahega uss team mei sirf juwa hi hoga.

[Sid]

Happy to see him back but in Pakistan we have unbelievable amounts of fast bowling talent yet to come. Taj Wali, Shinwari, Tabish, Mir Hamza, Sadaf Hussain, Talha, Zia ul Haq

Mashallah tailunt is overflowing :adore:

[gaurav92]

Pakistan are having a left arm pace quartet already and if Aamir is back, they will have a lot of left arm seamers in their squad. Mohd Irfan Junaid Khan Wahab Riaz Rahat Ali Mohammad Aamir And here in India, we have not got one to replace Zak. All he have to settle for is Unadkats, Sangwans and Aravinds :sniffle:

Once again ECB on behest of BCCI kanspiring against legend Salman Butt. Homeoffice says no VISA before term of sence completes

Quote

UK government could kibosh Salman Butt Test recall

Pakistan's hopes of offering a controversial recall to Salman Butt for their forthcoming tour of England, six years after his involvement in the spot-fixing controversy at Lord's in 2010, could be stopped in their tracks by the UK Home Office, in spite of the willingness of Misbah-ul-Haq, the Pakistan captain, to consider him.

 Players like Misbah and Inzi openly supporting this pathetic retard. Havent they got any moral stand? Or Pakistani cricket suck so much that they are forced to rely on this.
