We missed Fawad, Akmal and Maqsood. Even Bryan Murgatroyd was saying it

#GoAfridi #GoShoail #GoPakistsan

 

[Bilal7]

Guys, this is still achievable. These two can play well and win us the game, InshAllah.

 

[IAJ]

Haris playing sensibly here. Hopefully Afridi can also do that, for a change.

 

[Justcrazy]

Is afridi batting with sense ?

 

[SAfridi]

Pakistan*

 

[Sam18696]

Ooh hit him on grill

 

[Mr Consistent]

afridi & shot balls

 

[zabalestmsm]

No we didn't. We missed Akmal and Maqsood today.

No way.. U Akmal is useless! Always fails in crunch times! Maqsood is going down U Akmal's way as well slowly!

 

[Iffitheking]

Afridi is playing well for a change...

 

[Sam18696]

Are pigs flying yet?

 

[Mr Consistent]

2 runs taken

 

[Bilal7]

We missed attacking impetus not staying power. Fawad would have definitely been an upgrade on Shafiq and Younis but he wouldn't have brought anything that Haris hasn't.

Who is this Bryan Mugtdasdgug you speak of?

 

[SAfridi]

Are pigs flying yet?

Hahaaa

 

[Smbhayi]

Who comes with that ear plug idea btw.. look likes it's works on afridi..

[MENTION=68271]NZcricketfan[/MENTION] [MENTION=95766]leatherface58[/MENTION] where is Watling in all of this, he can't do much worse than some of the mugs we have in the team now.

Watling has been sadly phased out because of Ronchi stepping up. But Ronchi is old. So Watling can still come back. I suppose he can come into the side over Brownlie who after that amazing debut test series on green tops in Oz has just fallen off.

 

[Sam18696]

Milne back

 

[Thivagar]

When did Afridi last score a 50 ? and a 100 ?

High profile cricket commentator for Ten Sports with zero bias. He is commentating this match?

adam maline on

Not always and that is why I want him batting at #4. Maqsood is very good under pressure and will be a real asset at #6.

 

[Pro Era]

No we didn't. We missed Akmal and Maqsood today.

Yeah don't miss our 2nd highest run scorer.....

 

[SAfridi]

Bout a week ago

 

[Bilal7]

"Afridi is pushing 30" - Scotty Styris.

Whatever you say man.

 

[Justcrazy]

Milne back.

 

[SAfridi]

Need a couple of shots from Lala

 

[Sam18696]

Afridi is TUKKING

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Afridi should just play Milne out, no way will he be able to slog him.

 

[Bilal7]

Big shot incoming.

 

[Mr Consistent]

[SAfridi]

Afridi isn't being afridi

 

[Mr Consistent]

It's PP time

35 overs

 

[Bilal7]

102 off 90.

 

[Mamoon]

Just goes to show the caliber of our batsmen against genuine pace. Same Milne will be smashed by Australia, India, South Africa.

 

[Smbhayi]

wow wow wow just wow.. 4 back to back defend by afridi. . can you believe .. keep it on..

 

[Mainul]

come back when you win matches outside of your zone of mediocrity.

Ha ha. We whitewashed Newzeland twice consecutively on our home soil including the latest series.You are struggling now

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Afridi being very un-Afridi.

It's these sort of innings that give us hope that he has really changed.

But this can only happen once in a year or so.

 

[Thivagar]

Bout a week ago

In internationals

 

[shakil]

Afridi only plays long balls. That is why he has weakness against the short balls

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Just goes to show the caliber of our batsmen against genuine pace. Same Milne will be smashed by Australia, India, South Africa.

Shezad looked quite comfortable against him, he's a very good player of pace bowling compared to some of our senior batsmen.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Afridi- it's my way or sky way

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Just goes to show the caliber of our batsmen against genuine pace. Same Milne will be smashed by Australia, India, South Africa.

if India smash in in Australia I will eat my hat. Will also do the same if Shafiq ever scores runs in ODIs

 

[Bilal7]

Riaz and Gullay can slog.

 

[Justcrazy]

102 from 90 balls

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Shezad looked quite comfortable against him, he's a very good player of pace bowling compared to some of our senior batsmen.

But his downfall is his deep problems against spin :S

 

[SAfridi]

In internationals

Yh I know I was just joking around

 

[Mr Consistent]

Kyle Mills on

 

[Bilal7]

Just goes to show the caliber of our batsmen against genuine pace. Same Milne will be smashed by Australia, India, South Africa.

He's a good bowler so I doubt that he would be smashed.

 

[Justcrazy]

Riaz and Gullay can slog.

You need more than slogging. They need to contribute more

 

[Sam18696]

Incoming stupid shot from Afridi

 

[Juansar_07]

They simply can't afford to drop U.Akmal.They messed up with the selections again.He isn't the most dependable and has given various reasons to us to be dissatisfied but he needs to be infixed somehow to this mediocre batting.No matter how much some of us dislike him for his brains and temperament,he is still one of a very few dynamic batsman that pakistan have at this moment.

 

[the Great Khan]

Ha ha. We whitewashed Newzeland twice consecutively on our home soil including the latest series.You are struggling now

yes a miracle. More a once in a lifetime occurrence. In general your useless. A local pub team could give you a match.

 

[Sam18696]

Afridi WHAT R U DOING

 

[Mainul]

Kick these 2 monuments Asad and Younis, bring in Fawad and Umar Akmal,otherwise get ready to suffer another

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

But his downfall is his deep problems against spin :S

I think you can afford to have that weakness in one of your openers as long as he can handle the new ball well and hit the odd century.

 

[Smbhayi]

a lot jinx coming afridi way

 

[Mr Consistent]

good sensible batting by afridi

 

[Mamoon]

He's a good bowler so I doubt that he would be smashed.

He has bowled plenty of loose deliveries as well, and the likes of Warner, Clarke, Smith, Maxwell, Amla bhai, de Villiers, du Plessis, Kohli, Dhoni, Rahane, Dhawan etc are not gonna miss out on.

 

[Bilal7]

And how is Mills not being reported? He's clearly over 15 degrees if Hafeez is.

 

[Zeshan547]

Just imagine if afridi possessed a mind like dhoni, cricket world would have turned upside down.

 

[Mamoon]

if India smash in in Australia I will eat my hat. Will also do the same if Shafiq ever scores runs in ODIs

Who cares about Australia when we can't even smash him in UAE.

 

[Bilal7]

He has bowled plenty of loose deliveries as well, and the likes of Warner, Clarke, Smith, Maxwell, Amla bhai, de Villiers, du Plessis, Kohli, Dhoni, Rahane, Dhawan etc are not gonna miss out on.

Afridi won't either. The one over that he has bowled in this spell was a good one with no lose balls.

 

[Kianig89]

Shahid Afridi builiding it up

 

[Mamoon]

Shezad looked quite comfortable against him, he's a very good player of pace bowling compared to some of our senior batsmen.

Comparably better, but still not convincing.

 

[Sam18696]

by Afridi

Those ear plugs have done wonders for him

 

[the Great Khan]

He has bowled plenty of loose deliveries as well, and the likes of Warner, Clarke, Smith, Maxwell, Amla bhai, de Villiers, du Plessis, Kohli, Dhoni, Rahane, Dhawan etc are not gonna miss out on.

true, he's got pace but it will fly to the boundary if he faces a proper batter.

 

[Mr Consistent]

by lala

 

[Mamoon]

Has Afridi ever played a more thoughtful innings?

 

[Lords]

Not sure how to take it. Afridi playing like a real batsman.

 

[Pro Era]

But his downfall is his deep problems against spin :S

Still better at playing spin that all those other poor top order batsmen that played today. You should definitely not be focusing on Shezzy's weaknesses when the weaknesses within our lineup are unbelievable.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shabash afridi.

 

[Mr Consistent]

150 up for pak

 

[Mamoon]

Afridi won't either. The one over that he has bowled in this spell was a good one with no lose balls.

We are talking about proper, quality batsmen here.

 

[Asif321]

Afridi is in.mood today
