brainfart from Afridi

 

[*sallu*]

15 years of playing international cricket and he still comes out and does something new and stupid-er every single time

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

ARGH Fawad alam had to stay a bit..just a bit longer

[wazzy]

Afridi - what is he doing ---No focuss?

 

[imshally81]

afridi was looking in good touch here...

 

[imshally81]

can A Razzaq deliver today ???????

 

[Looney]

not enough contribution from the captain . it was stupid to say the least . blame him if we lose the match .

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

poor stuff frm Afrid and pathetic for england to claim the wicket like that

 

[adarsh_bang]

momo bhai :-o:-o you are a dead man

 

[JellyBro]

lol at the end of the day he's still a dufus

 

[Looney]

Razzler to show his jadoooooooooo

do it like you did it in Dubai to these same angrez

 

[the SHA]

Our guys are just losers. Dont ever want to hold any initiative for longer than 0.00000001 seconds. No please take it back, we cant handle being ahead of the game!!!

 

[Schickelgruber]

poor stuff frm Afrid and pathetic for england to claim the wicket like that

See typical Pakistani. No wonder why we are so stupid in the field.

 

[Afridirocks]

this was the most unlucky dismissals of the year

 

[Maula Jutt]

I would think experience would count for something. Like for someone playing cricket for so long, one would know that the first thing to do to save your run out is to TOUCH the bat to the ground inside the crease, not push the bat into the air inside the crease and then drop it on the ground.

Then again, maybe it's too philosophical a concept for our players.

 

[uzy99]

Why do we make silly mistakes. It's as if we can't get the basics right.

 

[imshally81]

can we cross even 200 today ???

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

take the powerplay you fools.

 

[KingKhanWC]

He deserved to be run out! Running like a girl and scared of the ball.

 

[LegendsXI]

Afridi=Idiot, threw it away as always. wouldnt have survived the fast bowlers anyways.

 

[imshally81]

start with wide

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Unless, Razzaq fires today, we don't stand a chance.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

It just seems like no matter what we are going to lose 5-0 here. Punishment for our crimes it seems like.

 

[Braveheart]

On the whole, another retarded batting performance on a good track.
If only we had a few brains in the team.

 

[tauseefm]

wow what a way to get out Mr CAPTAIN. he could've gotten in pretty easily but preferred to rest in the middle. PURE SHAME!!! doob maroo Afridi issed:

 

[Momo]

momo bhai :-o:-o you are a dead man

It's quite okay. I will apply for asylum in UK. )

 

[farsiddiqui]

Ramiz Raja is such an ignorant being - he was a poor to below average cricketer himself and now has the gall to be criticising Fawad Alam's innings - one minute he's asking for patience and temperament and the next he's calling for sixes and fours - if it wasn't for Fawad's current innings, the boys would have been fielding a long time ago!!!

Someone should remind him of his innings in the world cup against West Indies.

 

[hashmist]

Afridi has got to be the stupidest man on the field.

 

[Indiafan]

poor stuff frm Afrid and pathetic for england to claim the wicket like that

Why is it pathethic from England? Swann was aiming at the stumps as Afridi was standing out. The ball hit Afridi's bat and onto the stumps.

 

[Afridirocks]

good innigns by afridi none the less

should have grounded the bat

sighhh

 

[KingKhanWC]

It's quite okay. I will apply for asylum in UK. )

)

 

[Looney]

Question of the Day :- Can Pakistan get to 200+ ?

 

[insaftak]

It's quite okay. I will apply for asylum in UK. )

Don't worry we will get u in london too

 

[imshally81]

again mix up here

 

[hashmist]

Why don't we ever know when to take the batting power play? Always do it too late. Stupid captaincy.

 

[akbarc1]

Razzaq needs to play a similar innings as the one he played in 2006. www.cricinfo.com/engvpak/engine/current/match/225248.html

 

[abdulraheemsiddiqui]

why is he out when the ball hit the bat
you dont run when the ball hit the bat

 

[imshally81]

single in the last ball of the over

 

[sanakazmi]

what is lala waiting for? are they going to take the powerplay after we're all out?

 

[murphyslaw79]

poor stuff frm Afrid and pathetic for england to claim the wicket like that

I agree with the 1st part of your comment, but why are eng pathetic to claim a wicket like that?????

 

[the SHA]

Is there seriously nothing more breathtakingly depressing than watching Pakistan bat? I cant remember the last time I actually enjoyed watching any of these losers bat.

 

[KingKhanWC]

No point taking the powerplay now. Just leave it for the last 5 overs, don't want to get bowled out before 50 overs.

 

[imshally81]

wide

 

[Dr_Bassim]

take the powerplay you fools.

LOL ... i already told you .. who will play the power play

 

[imshally81]

[imshally81]

[Looney]

Razzaq needs to play a similar innings as the one he played in 2006. www.cricinfo.com/engvpak/engine/current/match/225248.html

better and more recent performance aq:

[farsiddiqui]

Lets not use stats to give a wrong picture.

When Asad Shafiq gets out:
Asad Shafiq: 40 runs off 59 balls; 68 Strike Rate
Fawad Alam: 27 runs off 49 balls; 55 Strike Rate
Difference: 13

When Umar Akmal gets out:
Umar Akmal: 14 runs off 20 balls; 70 Strike Rate
Fawad Alam: 39 runs off 62 balls; 63 Strike Rate
Difference: 7

Btw, I have supported Fawad Alam inclusion in Tests and ODIs but in this case I am right that both Asad Shaifq and Umar Akmal feels a lot more pressure because their batting partner was not playing as fast as they would have liked.

It's the end result that counts. Perhaps Asad and Umar shouldn't have let the pressure get to them and played those shots. Actually, Asad had the right idea, just didn't hit it hard enough to clear the boundary. Umar Akmal had absolutely no reason to play that shot, when they had scored 16 runs in the last two overs.

 

[imshally81]

 

[KingKhanWC]

Shot! Smashed over mid wicket for 6.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

oye chakkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[khilari]

Go Razzi

 

[jattafridi]

 

[Kamranaazam]

thats why open with Razzaq

 

[Looney]

who said aq is not in form ?

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

why is he not taking powerplay..is he a fool or what? have to hit a six and not take powerplay!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Finally someone hit this crying baby

 

[Looney]

our RR and projected score looking somewhat respectable now

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Umar Gul is so chilled out! Defends the ball and then moves back and hums,looking around.

 

[Dare2Dream]

Afridi has got to be the stupidest man on the field.

Wasn't even watching the ball, makes a mockery of international cricket.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

why is he not taking powerplay..is he a fool or what? have to hit a six and not take powerplay!

cuz we don't have wickets. Lets take singles and doubles until 45th over then take powerplay. We need to play 50 overs.

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

I hate Anderson

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Gul what a legend for England.

 

[Rizie]

stupid people in the think tank

wasting overs like this

 

[imshally81]

maiden over....

 

[akbarc1]

Maiden over

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

cuz we don't have wickets. Lets take singles and doubles until 45th over then take powerplay. We need to play 50 overs.

then he should not take risk! ..if he has to take risk, its better to have powerplay then!

 

[Khabri420]

Umar Gul playing for England

When he bowls he'll be handing out pies to the English

 

[insaftak]

did umar gul promise bookies to play a maiden over

 

[KingKhanWC]

Momo Bhai - Maiden in the 43 over of an ODI?

 

[sanakazmi]

does gul's insipid batting mean he's going to shine with the ball today?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

gul just played a maiden?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Gul has lost it since the world cup win.
