[MAJID-SHAH]

122/5 4fer for mini - akram (aamir)

 

[adnan yasin]

AFRIDI should hve come in instead of malik but i think he is giving malik a chance to loosen up b4 the international matches ... he might use him as a 6th bowler .. later on the tour ..

 

[COMEBACKID]

The youngsters are the pride of pakistan

 

[A.M.]

of the last bowl

 

[jawad1]

[Sakss]

amer on a roll......

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

four to end the over 126/5 after 30.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

cricinfo crashed on me.

 

[SOSami]

Anyone taking note of the mode of dismissals? When our bowlers' fates are not in the hands of the fielders they easily pick up wickets. Butt took a good 'un today aswell from what my mate at the match told me.
Problem is clean bowling/lbwing top class international batsmen is a little more difficult so lets hope Butt takes his catching form (!) into the real matches.

 

[Sakss]

azhar mahmood, big chance for him, if he does well, selectors will be watching

thres no chance he will play for pak again

 

[COMEBACKID]

ahzar hit some big sixes u might get a call up loool come on azhar )

 

[talha3]

i dont understand, why doesnt afridi bowl?

 

[bhai457]

Why afridi is not bowling

 

[COMEBACKID]

maybe hes just relaxing for a while and just letting his bowlers get into their rythem on the condtions

 

[Xoib]

azhar mahmood, big chance for him, if he does well, selectors will be watching

I would feel nervous if a batsman of his (lack of) quality scores runs against us.

 

[A.M.]

9 bowls without giving a run

 

[COMEBACKID]

I wouldnt say lack of quality he was a good player just not a batsman

 

[talha3]

thres no chance he will play for pak again

yea i know i was only joking...
but on a serious note, him and yasir arafat are very similar players and both have never really been given long chances unfortunately, the reason??

being in the shadow of ABDUL RAZZAQ

 

[RehanG]

Why afridi is not bowling

he is tired after making 500 runs

 

[A.M.]

2 consucetive maidens by

 

[COMEBACKID]

lool haha

 

[talha3]

2 overs 2 maidens malik shahbash

 

[COMEBACKID]

malik probably paied them not to make runs or just told them put ur hand on the bible you wont make any runs and they said okay we give you maidens

 

[A.M.]

I wouldnt say lack of quality he was a good player just not a batsman

then what was he, a bowler??? :naved

 

[COMEBACKID]

yeh he was decent in the early years under wasim

but atleast he tried init not like rana who under younis khan didnt want to perform

 

[Xoib]

Captain fantastic shying away from bowling responsibilities.One aspect that is being underrated is his role as the 5th bowler this summer.

 

[A.M.]

2 more dots

 

[COMEBACKID]

yes dots only agianst kent against australia we will see how many dots he bowls

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yeah, now bash him for not bowling. And if he had bowled someone might have said why not give Malik/Rehman/Wahab a go.

Afridi will remain a loser on this forum.

not bashing just pointing out how his 5th bowling role is being understated.

 

[Sakss]

moodi picking up the doubles

 

[Afridi_Fan]

not bashing just pointing out how his 5th bowling role is being understated.

So there was not a hint of "sarcasm" in your tone, when you termed Afridi as Captain Fantastic and said that he is "shying away"?

If so, then yeah you were just pointing out, not bashing.

 

[Obeid]

not bashing just pointing out how his 5th bowling role is being understated.

Have you ever played an international game? Have you ever played in a first class game? Have you even played at the club level (ok maybe you have).

Let the professional do his job

lol don't get defensive of your hero, I also like Afridi but do point out the mistakes he is making. I do believe he should be bowling not Malik because he has not bowled much is the longer format for a long time and his bowling will be important this summer.

 

[COMEBACKID]

azhar doing alright he got a advantage he can understand what the pakistani are saying lool

 

[Sakss]

Imagination TV on Channel 420

is that on frequency 9211

Do I sound like defensive? Does Afridi need anyone to defend him?

Afridi has been bowling continuously in International cricket for the past decade so it Malik who needs to roll his arms not Afridi.

But if you understand that, then how can you bash The Beast.

 

[Obeid]

is that on frequency 9211

Well the Channel 420 was in reference to something real which will allow you to effectively tune into Imagination TV in HD.

 

[COMEBACKID]

Practice?

The guy has been bowling his Full Quota whenever Pakistan plays a game and he still needs practice more than a guy who hardly bowls?

 

[COMEBACKID]

thanks ali


maybe he feels he dont need to bowl right now he got plenty of wicket takers we dont know what he is thinking

 

[T20_Cricket]

Can Afridi use his action like Shane Warne?He should try to spin the bowl,more leg breaks in tests,if he wanna be a successful bowler in Test Matches.

[COMEBACKID]

[MAJID-SHAH]

never under-estimate the tail bro! :aamir

 

[*syed59*]

Why isn't the captain bowling more? He thinks Malik will provide him with breakthroughs throughout the series ?

 

[Shahidumar]

never under-estimate the tail bro! :aamir

tryin to remain positive bro lol

[RehanG]

[COMEBACKID]

yeh man he got pace england wernt playing him with ease

 

[IMMY69]

Nonsense being talked about Afridi again...

When was the last time Afridi bowled in a 3 day game, let alone in a test match!!

I dont care if he bowls 10 overs or 4 overs in every limited overs game he plays in, he still needs to practice in the longer game..His lines, lengths and the pace etc will be different in the longer game...test Matches are not about getting wickets by drying up the runs!!!

Having said that, its still early days on this tour and hopefully he'll either bowl last in this match or in the next practice match...

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

decent partnership bulidng here.

 

[Sakss]

gull gets crappy mehmood...

pak should wrap up the tail now

 

[WNC]

Gul strikes

 

[Afridi_Fan]
