Will he get a zero?!
Will he get a billion?!
Who knows?!!


Post any shots, wickets, incidents and your views here :D
 
i just want him to score twice of whatever sehwag scores or 150, whichever is higher.

he has to come thru for pakistan. we need our stars to shine tonight
 
These official Afridi/Ashridi threads jinx the guy!!!

DM, I blame you!!!
 
yeh I was thinking he will break his own record of fastest century tonight inshahallah or maybe i was dreaming ???
 
lol guys :)) I just love tempting fate, but with Afridi, anything we do wont stop him from scoring 100 if it's his day and equally wont stop him scoring 0 :D

oh and it's not a typo Sajj, someone (i cant remember who) here mentioned before the 3rd test an idea of a combo of Arshad and Afridi, or "Ashridi" and the name stuck! I just like calling him that :D
 
DM - being a big fan of pace bowling, I'm disappointed you haven't yet set up an official thread for Rao Iftikhar, our latest and hottest pace sensation!

Kanewali Tanga Jr v Sehwag tomorrow, should be compelling viewing.. a real confrontation in prospect between a brutally attacking batsman and that fire breathing, pace demon called Rao Iftikhar.

I'm backing our boy to knock Sehwag's middle stump out of the ground.. :D
 
DM..the Afridi/Arshad combination was my idea...

I am honoured that you took on board my 'Arshidi' suggestion!
 
hahaaahhahah

dont make fun of our tanga.
itll break down the indian ambassador sehwag anytime
 
With a high-arm action modelled on Glenn McGrath, Iftikhar Anjum is another addition to Pakistan’s seemingly endless production line of pace bowlers.

Interesting opening line in the profile of Rao Iftikhar, on CricInfo..

Khanewal now have their very own Glenn McGrath, to go with their big bird Joel Garner..

Its a pity our selectors aren't keen to select young Mohammed Irshad, who by the way is also from Khanewal.. obviously he won't be a bowler in the class of Shabbir or Rao Iftikhar, but surely him hailing from the same town as such legendary pace demons, must mean he's got to be one worth looking at ..

Who knows, having discovered our very own Garner and McGrath from Khanewal, in Mohammed Irshad.. we might find another Shoaib Akhtar even if not a Malcolm Marshall ! :)

But obviously our standards are so high thesedays in the pace bowling front with the likes of Khalil and Asif waiting in the wings, that you have to be truly special to stand a chance of getting into our line up at the moment.. such is the competition for places among the pacers.. ;-)
 
Well it doesn't matter how well he bats- if he goes for 10 runs an over again we will loose big time.

BW needs to realize that sehwag and company have his bowling completly figured out on these flat tracks- I would drop him for Shahid Nazir for the remainder of the ODIs.
 
afridi gonna score 80runs in today's match. wanna know y bcz he scored 8in the 1st odi and 0in the 2ndodi. when u put them them together for 3rd odi it will make up 80. so guys just watch afridi's 80runs inning today :D
 
WE need Shahid but Shahid Nazir more a guy who can swing the ball in to the batsmen .

AFRIDI IS DA BEST

bingo u have HIT the jackpot

winning numbers as follow

(1)- Burier
(2)- Interior
(3)- Need for speed?
(4) Gearless
(5)- Off break speed=need
 
MY ADVICE TO AFRIDI : hit through the line!!!
 
Salam guys. Inshallah he will score big today!
 
lol i've just been able to get the computer!! Thanks Oxy for Ashridi :D

lol Majid, i know where's Irshad and Yasir Ali?! At least our 2 fast men are doing damage today - both bowling around 90mph :D

Ashridi was looking really good playing straight, unfortunate that the nick flew straight to slip!

Don't forget boys, his bowling's still to come!
 
Will we see Pathan Vs Pathan?

It may well be coming soon....
 
AFRIDI NO NO DROPPED :D :D :)) :)) off his own bowling :D

and lol he's proceeding to bowl that disgusting line to the left hander that Tendulkar's been bowling!!
 
NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :( :( :( :(
 
AFRIDI JUST GOING THROUGH the motions it seem - bowling 40sMph
 
And Inzi takes Afridi out, Malik went for 10 off his first over yet was persisted, where's the justice?!

Hopefully Rana gets a 5-er he deserves it!!
 
Afridi has been so far dissapointment with the bat and ball i the ODI series
 
He's been one of our star players (and according to some including the BBC and me, THE star player) in the test series but disappointing in the ODIs - the IRONY!! :D
 
at least he took a good catch to dismiss Sehwag today....i really hope we persist with Afridi, perhaps try him lower down next match?

He was destructive vs AUSTRALIA on their wickets remember!

Let's show confidence in ASHRIDI :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
 
'The Afridi' really showed his class today. He made sure no-one took the catch to dismiss Irfan Pathan so that he could reach his first 50 and the Indians could have something to cheer about!

Now thats real JLD spirit!!

Persist with Afridi? There has been no talk of dropping him by anyone!

For the record, Afridi was moved up the order as per a special request by DM. Now he wants him down the order?
 
lol Marooned :))

Actually i never minded where he batted, i prefer him in this series to open (to maximise his chances of batting the full 50 overs and scoring a triple century), but i dont mind settling for more Afridi mayhem down the order! :D
 
Yes but had they stuck with him down the order they would have been criticized heavily for not opening with Afridi. Tough job I say...

I think this series is the best chance for Afridi to score as an opener given the nature of the pitches and perhaps they should keep him there for now. Otherwise I prefer him down the order.
 
Yep, i prefer him normally down the order on moving wickets, but i prefer him opening in this series
 
in this series i think he should continue opening with butt
today he was playin pretty well until a ball jumped up alittle and was unlucky to take the edge

Come on AFRIDI

;)+
 
EXACTLY Afridi 10!!!

And i think we should keep this team - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
