[Seen Sheen]

From Cricinfo : Danish Jahanzeb sends in this defence of Azhar Ali: "Regarding Azhar Ali, a lot of Pakistani cricket fans are blasting him due to the fact that he is not able to rotate the strike as efficiently as they would like. However, this is a keen reminder to the world of cricket and to all the cricket fans, this is not a 20/20 match or a ODI match, this is test cricket. I feel personally, the vast majority of people have been influenced by 20/20 and certain aggressive players such as Gayle and Sehway, that they form a opinion that a individual needs to maintain a strike-rate of 100000000 million (ok thats an exaggeration but) to become a test-player."


Take that ,Decipher!!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

These two must bat atleast 80 overs tomorrow.
