Pakistan v England | 1st T20 | Dubai | 19/02/10

[Bobbins]

Afridi giving final instructions to the bowlers lol

 

[sada90]

did u guys see................shahid afridi still taking a charge.............................
lol............................lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What on earth was Afridi doing there?! Is he the captain today?! Ermmmm....NO! And he's doing a team talk! This is Pak Cricket eh! LOL!

 

[uzy99]

Asif should NOT play T20s. He needs more than 4 overs to work on batsmen, and his medium pace can be easily slogged. What happened in Aus.

Both Fawad and Asif need to skip T20s for the next little while, and use their temperament for tests and ODIs. They are better players than to be wasted on T20 slogfest.

Your point is a good one and well taken.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So what Imran Nazir's frantic innings which lasted 15 balls all about? LOL

Just saw a couple of balls he faced and he looked completely clueless!

 

[ZAK]

here we go again.....

 

[imshally81]

afridi in action ... good sign

 

[Bobbins]

Afridi has a few screws loose for sure, probably get banned again.

 

[uzy99]

keep the scores coming you guys.

 

[IMMY69]

)

so what has Arafat done to deserve a place then tell me?

what has he done to not warrant selection?

The poor bloke gets a game here and there and has never ever had a consistent run in the team. Whereas there have been many players who keep their place despite being consistenly useless...

Arafat may or not be international class but atleast give the kid a try...

 

[Momo]

Afridi doesn't give a damn about bans. He can eat bans and banners. He doesn't even understand what a ban is really. Neither does he care.

What a man! What a man! What a MAN!

 

[Sohaib-789]

Come on pakistan

 

[taaveez]

I think PCB needs to put together some Pak vs Pak T20s domestically in March/April. Some of these guys look seriously out of practice.

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

Come on pakistan

Absolutely

 

[ads101]

Afridi giving final instructions to the bowlers lol

[Deewana Mastana]

Afridi doesn't give a damn about bans. He can eat bans and banners. He doesn't even understand what a ban is really. Neither does he care.

What a man! What a man! What a MAN!

That just about describes what a MAN is!

 

[uzy99]

[Osman]

what has he done to not warrant selection?

The poor bloke gets a game here and there and has never ever had a consistent run in the team. Whereas there have been many players who keep their place despite being consistenly useless...

Arafat may or not be international class but atleast give the kid a try...

you want to know why??? because here are his T20 stats ....

T20Is 5 matches... 2 wickets ...a best of 1/31.... an average of 72.50 and an economy rate of 8.52

He is ****! Shouldn't be anywhere near the Pakistan team! Especially not ahead of Rana. Had he stayed on in the World T20 and therefore not allowing Razzaq to come back we would have flopped!
