Yeah especially with that googly. I wish he can ball this well for Pakistan again. It would help us a lot.

 

[Ottoman]

WOW, as I wrote early, drift is back in LALA's bowling. He brought Nrots back in the game.

LALA will eventually be man of the match today

 

[khalil1986]

excellent bowling from lala, pitch is starting to assist spinners so anything above 160 will be difficult to chase unless the lights quicken the pitch up later.

 

[WC-Passion]

What bowling from Lala.

[The_KING]

Disappointing result but happy with Afridi's performance.

 

[MenInG]

Lancashire win but for Afridi...


Pakistan all-rounder scored 19 off 16 deliveries against Warwickshire in the Semi-Final, and then took 3 wickets for 14 runs and scored 26 off 18 deliveries in the final game against Lancashire.

 

[Junaids]

I'm from Lancashire, and I couldn't even be bothered to stay up to watch this garbage.

I care much more that we are promoted back up to Division 1 of the Four Day First Class County Chanpionship. T20 is just wallpaper for children: it doesn't actually count.

 

[Firebreaker]

Disappointing result but happy with Afridi's performance.

What Afridi performance? Bottling at a crucial time?

 

[The_KING]

What Afridi performance? Bottling at a crucial time?

No his bowling performance troll.

 

[Barragan]

Afridi was excellent with the ball yesterday.

He turned the ball sharply both ways, provided no width and short deliveries, plus that ball to get rid of Livingstone was a beauty.

He was much more accurate with the ball compared to the way he bowled against SL in the recent T20 series and I think he may have been working on his bowling, but I hope he continues to bowl in that manner because his bowling will be crucial for the upcoming WC.

Afridi's performance particularly in the final was excellent and with a bit more support Northants could have gone on and won.

Afridi was turning the ball, variety was there and middling the ball nicely with the bat.

This. Good analysis. We really need afridi to improve his bowling to bring it back to its actual level to not become liability for the team.
