[PICTURES/VIDEOS] The Pakistan-Afghanistan cricket rivalry

There is no such thing as afghani people. Ironic you use the phrase stupidity...

"To refer to Afghans as Afghanis is not offensive at all. In Dari/Persian when we talk about people we say for instance, "Is he Afghani or Pakistani?". Of course we ask this in Dari which goes like this, "Afghani ast ya Pakistani?" Is this offensive? Hell NO!

In Dari Grammar to make an adjective from a noun you put the suffix -i at the end. Example: America is noun to refer to the people of America we say, "Amerikai" or American. Iran is a country and people from Iran are Irani. Of course this is all in Dari. That is how the grammar works.

Finally, the word Afghani which is used for the Afghan currency is a Pashto word which is pronounced differently from Afghani. It is even written differently in Pashto. But because that Pashto sound does not exist in Dari, people say Afghani when they refer to people and when they talk about money they use Afghani. So, it is the context that matters. If you talk about currency you say Afghani and people know you talk about money. When you talk about people you say Afghani and people know you refer to Afghans or Afghanis.

Next time someone corrects you that it is incorrect or offensive to refer to an Afghan as Afghani, refer them to this post!"

Afghani is not the proper terminology.

You can google about the term, afghani is referred to the currency, people from afghanistan are known as Afghan.

No where did i said that afghani is offensive, its just that when you say afghani the first thing that comes in the mind is the currency not the people because the twrm is for currency

Funny you used the same terminology on a post which I pointed out 😂😂😂 🤡

Are you from Afghanistan? I pasted a post from an afghan, read this part again;

So, it is the context that matters. If you talk about currency you say Afghani and people know you talk about money. When you talk about people you say Afghani and people know you refer to Afghans or Afghanis.



It's obvious we are talking about the peope here and not the currency.

Again, with the wrong terminology. If i say and refer to pakistanis as paaki but than claim i dont mean any offence as i am just talking about the people, does that make my point valid?

Afghan are people and afghani is currency. I dont know why you are hell bent into saying otherwise. Accept it and move on

No no, you will not get away with your stupid arguments. Read the comment again.

When a person from Afghanistan himself says he will understand in what context the term 'afghani' is being used, who are you to say that it is only used for currency??
 
More like rivalry on somewhat historic/strategic side along with chairs flying around and Afghan spectators hitting ordinary people who have come to watch just a cricket match.

At the moment on cricketing front yes the matches have been close in last few years but, Afghanistan has no result to show till now. UAE and maybe sub continental conditions will give them a chance for an upset but, anomalies like WC 19 aside where a match or two went close. They don't currently have the team to consistently compete with sides above them in other conditions.

Un-sportsman like aggression of Afghans on the field and off the field is a desperate attempt to make it look like some sort of war or rivalry but, currently its not in my opinion from cricketing perspective at least. The main thing that takes the limelight in the match between Pak and Afghan are the antics of Afghan players and spectators who try to use cricket, cricket field and stadium as an avenue to show their anger, frustration etc (Wont go into the reasons as that's not related to cricket) but whatever the reason maybe poor on field behavior and hitting people crowd is no way to go about.

Search on the net, afghani is a currency. You can try as much hard as you want but afghanistan people are referred to as afghans not afghani.

It is not me saying this, you can search up on the correct terminology if you want too.

If you want to be very selective, than sure, for some calling you a paaki might be alright aswell.

Move on really.... You used the term incorrectly and instead of accepting it, you are a making a mountain out of a molehill

But the afghan players did nothing wrong. What did they do? You cant fault them for playing good cricket.

Fareed gave a send off which was wronf, but asif did get physical after that.

Many rivalries are based on political hsitory and even trt which is international media calls it a rivalry
 
There is no rivalry between Afghanistan and Pakistan.They hardly play cricket with each other.There is not a single classic encounter between them.The only rivalry in cricket is between England and Australia ie the Ashes.In football Argentina vs Brazil,Spain vs Portugal and France vs Italy are big rivalries.

you just said the afghan players didnt do anything wrong, but next sentence you said fareed send of was wrong, implicationg the send off as provocating asif = makes no sense.

we all find it funny that you cant accept the truth.

Your player caused it - between the players confrontation.

yes both sides fans were insulting each other - yes the very small majority on both sides, however the scenes which have shown - certain afghan fans throwing chairs at pakistan fans is very disturbing - needs to be take action, as previous matches have shown similar attacks.

Truth is one side has been causing the physical violence - yes by the very small majority - but its still violence. Like we all know fans who dont get punished for these events - will commit the same assult - your fans - or the ones which we have cctv proof off - have never been arrested - even more concerning the useless icc havent even made an attempt of searching for the culprits.

Im going to ask you the very simple question - would you attend the next afghanistan v pakistan game ??? would you feel safe in the crowd?
 
There was no racism or abuse in that post you quoted. If anything I was calling out the racists and abusers.

Saying that they are involved in bacha bazi and than say i did do any racism or abuse.......... Offcourse the person who does this wont see any wrong in it

Lol at my players, so you agree pakistani caused it...

Giving send offs are part of the game, alot of players do this, does that mean you throw insults. He gave a send off got a fine, fair enough.

Asif ali got physical! Cricket has a line and that is being physical.

Also, not all afghan fans caused a ruckus. Alot of them left without fighting. You are genralizing the whole community.

Tkr restaurant owner was there and he showed how his stand enjoyed the game without any fighting hapenning. Go on facebook you will find pages that interviewed the fans of afghanistan who priased naseem and left the game.

Yes there wer afghan fans, a small minority that did batameezi and should face the consequences.

For your uestion feeling safe, thats like asking a white guy that would feel safe going to a muslim country because of islamic terrorist. You see this is where genralization takes place.

Most people are only talking about Asif and Fareed incident but, they have completely overlooked another incident and thats because that Pakistani batter controlled himself.

That incident was when Fakhar just came and Farooqi was able to get his edge and it went for four. Farooqi stared from pretty close and started saying some things to Fakhar in pure hatred like it was something personal (Highlights can be seen) and Fakhar controlled himself in that situation. That clearly shows what kind of mood some Afghan players were in. When you are going to play with so much hatred on the field against the opposition player like its some sort of a war then not sure how is it surprising that one guy irked up after his dismissal and he couldn't take the constant abuse??

Asif was completely wrong but, that whole environment created by Afghan players was unprofessional, full of hatred and abuses which started much earlier in the match. It is supposed to be a cricket match between two sides not an avenue of frustration, anger and abuse for one side.

Saying who was involved in bacha bazi? I said that was a well known and reported issue in Afghanistan, it was a sign of a lawless society, I wasn't linking it to the Afghan cricketers directly. Just pointing out that the place was like the wild west, and that is why you have their fans acting like animals throwing around racist abuse and chucking chairs at other fans. You do understand that fans are supposed to go to cricket matches as spectators and not to indulge in war right?

Bhai when did sledging become such an offense? Now farrooqi cant even sledge? This guy took babar out first ball.

The issue is we see afghans beneath us and nothing else. When we see that they sledged us we couldnt accep it.

The players from afghanistan did nothing wrong, unless it is reported that they were racists, until now they havent done anything wrong.

Asif got physical and a few afghan fans went crazy. After which we saw a frenzy of racism by pakistanu fans

Again thats racism.bacha bazi happens at our pakistani bus stands, how does that have a relation towards the violence the fans did in the stadium?

So the assumption is that the fans who went violent in the stadium is because of a stereotype we associate with afghans which is bacha bazi?

I respectfully disagree with your observation. I and I am sure most others dont see them beneath or anything, like why would we exactly. They are there to play cricket and represent their country which is an honor and something to be proud of for them.

There is a difference between sledge and going in close proximity of a player, give him glare full of hatred and possibly abusing him out of nowhere.

Hatred was evident on the field (There was more than one incident that happened as mentioned) which followed off the field as well, it was more than sledging. So rather than saying that we feel they are beneath or something, its time to accept the reality of the fact that they use cricket match against Pak to vent out which is un-sportsman like as well as unhealthy way to go about any sport and for the spectators to react.

You can glare as much as you want (WI of 80s used to do it and many others) but, you cant come really close and start abusing. Its not on for any team.

Afghans were abusing batters' mothers/sisters in last overs.

Sledging != Abusing.

When you abuse people they will hit you with a bat and you will get knocked the * out.

If you are in Pakistan (or anywhere on this planet), just get out of cave and abuse someone to test the theory :yk

If you want to debate this then debate properly and don't quote out of context. In essence ( and for those who are reading sincerely) I am saying that Afghan fan behaviour is a reflection of their lawless society where violence is endemic. They think they can go to any ground on foreign shores and attack families, destroy property and hurl racist abuse. This isn't a sporting rivalry, it is just political and racist hatred. For you to try to argue otherwise is just exposing your own hatred of Pakistan - to such an extent you seem to support the violence and are making excuses for it.

You are thr one who is claim afghans to he involved in bacha bazi not me. You are the one that used this as an example.

Again, where did i said a support violence, your habit of assuming things stays the same.

Political hatred is what creates rivalry, and the racism is from our side, where the likes of you throw racist remarks and abuse woth regards to afghans being involved in bacha bazi
 
Afghans have been killing each other for the last 50 years.The civil war among different ethnic groups plus the US invasion must have damaged Afghans psychologically.It is not surprising that they behave like hooligans.

90 percent of them did not behave like that, so plz elaborate your logic.

This is how people who hate islam say that because islam talks about jihad it promotes killing... See the logic?

meray bhai the Afghan fans that threw chairs were not responding to twitter comments. Also, racism works both ways and we are also subjected to racist taunts from them.

Keep in mind that the Afghan fans were male laborers and severely outnumbered Pakistani fans who were likely a combination of Laborers and families including women and children.

I would say we have a history of being more racist towards Bangladeshis, yet no such incident has ever happened.

Racism works both ways. Throwing chairs potentially at women and children is not the answer

Bacha bazi is a known and reported practice in Afghanistan, especially it was rife during the warlord heyday pre-Taliban. Please don't get offended, I am not saying that it is an approved Afghan trait, I am saying it is a sign of how their lawless society has resulted in such depraved practices, and is also a sign of why they don't know how to behave with decorum at sports events. Please understand the difference between law abiding citizenry and anything goes hooliganism.

It is not about this race or that race, it is about law and abiding by the law. Do you understand this?

Who cares if 90% or 50%. The 10% is problematic. This is such a cop out. Only a few bad apples, no action should be taken.

No. Action SHOULD BE TAKEN. Why does it always happen after this match? And after they lost again? How come Pakistani fans are not going out and attacking Indians after we lose? Weren't our two countries having military action against one another less than two years ago and yet our fans did not feel the need to attack anybody?

Say whatever you want but don't be such a hypocrite. They behaved poorly. Should be punished for it. Stop crying racism, no one saying anything racist to them there. They just do not know how to process losing.

They seem to process losing against India just fine though, which does make their hooligan antics against Pakistan all the more strange. One might suspect they are being politically agitated by vested groups if one was a conspiracy theorist.

Fareed gave a send off which was wronf, but asif did get physical after that.

Many rivalries are based on political hsitory and even trt which is international media calls it a rivalry

Asif raised his bat which is a gesture. He didn't get physical
 
Even after all the commentary and analysis from the opening poster, I still don't feel any rivalry and neither any other fans and other player have felt the need to mention something that doesn't exist.

Despite differences b/w Pakistan and India, both side fans behave at the stadium but a number of Afghans don't because the ones doing it are illeterate labour class which has happened multiple times now. Even after all this and past stadium hangama, we still don't feel rivalry neither want to as it just isn't there. If some Afghan fans feel that becsuse of hate then that's their problem, hating a country doesn't mean you attack fans and family who only show up to watch the game. Also trying to connect rivalry with Asif raising the bat is another lame attempt to justify such silly notion, Asif overreacted in the heat of the moment and paid the price....end of story. You can see Fareed was doing gaali galooch being a jahil, but he should have been disregarded by Asif.

Naseem hitting two sixes is how you provide a down to spine epic painful response, you can tell by all the rona dhona of Indian and Afghan fans online. They just can't get over it
 
Lol at my players, so you agree pakistani caused it...

Giving send offs are part of the game, alot of players do this, does that mean you throw insults. He gave a send off got a fine, fair enough.

Asif ali got physical! Cricket has a line and that is being physical.

Also, not all afghan fans caused a ruckus. Alot of them left without fighting. You are genralizing the whole community.

Tkr restaurant owner was there and he showed how his stand enjoyed the game without any fighting hapenning. Go on facebook you will find pages that interviewed the fans of afghanistan who priased naseem and left the game.

Yes there wer afghan fans, a small minority that did batameezi and should face the consequences.

For your uestion feeling safe, thats like asking a white guy that would feel safe going to a muslim country because of islamic terrorist. You see this is where genralization takes place.

Major your not being clever here - no it wasnt pakistan who caused, it, you cannot send off a player infront of the player face which your player did, your player was walking into asif direction and your player wasnt just doing the send off - he was being vocal in his language - and yes asif did raise his bat - i havent said what he did was good - ive always said both players should have been fined, your the one claiming your player was innocent and it was the pakistani fans saying they were innocent.


Major you clearly cant read, and you need to start reading, your replying to my post which i never said all or even generalising the afghan fans - ive clearly wrote small/ minority - so you need to start reading.

TKR restuant owner ? who he's? thr was fighting but occured outside the stadium - plenty of videos showing this,

So now your admiting that they should finally face the consequences (Yes there wer afghan fans, a small minority that did batameezi and should face the consequences) funny how you just mentioned that, and funny how the icc had to intervene due to the chairs being thrown but havent even attempted to investigate this. I do wonder why they havent - imaginne this - as this has occured a pakistan fan watched the game in the stadium and then had chairs thrown at them by the afghan fans - he's made a complaint -thrs no proof of verbal alteration between the fans ( but clear evidence once pakistan won the match, the afghan fans starts to verball abuse and instantly throw chairs at the pakistan fan - who has made the complaint to the stadium rep) who taken note - by cricket law - the stadium owners and then icc have to intervene - Major has that occured - no - no is that fair on those fans who have made complaints on this situation.

Major what are you on about - its like asking a white guy saying he's safe in a muslim country ? plenty of white guys live in muslim countires.
Major im still confused i havent genralised, we've played 4 times and all occasionsthrs thrs been violence, we all know you cannot stop foul language being stated - you can stop violence and more so you can punish those fans who acted criminally - we all know that were angry due to the crimanl offnese taken place, funily enough didnt occur when the two players had thr incident, not even the vidoes showing the CRIMINAL OFFENSE - language from the fans reffering to that player alteraction - it happened when the game was won by Pkaistan.

your makng no sense at all.

Why are those pakistan fans being denied thr rightful human rights - hey major? they've made thr complaints and yet both the stadium owner and icc havent even investigated the matter and wont be. PCB do not have to make an appeal - whch looks like they have just done by rameez raja.

Is it that bad - that those fans have thr human rights taken away from them.


Lets be honest here - stadium owner and ICC are protecting afghanistan team and fans - we all know once violence happens by fans - icc revokes the nation fans from attending next few games.

Remember icc have punished both players, so thats done, but how about the pakistan fans who's human rights have been taken away from them - occured by thse fghan fans being involved, - remeber i havent said all fghan fans - ive always stated those afghan fans who wre throwing the chairs - as thats the incident were all referring to.

Videos of fans outside the game - cant be really looked into as they what show much evidence. But the chair throwing - thrs plenty of evidence to charge those CRIMINAL FANS.

I hope you understand law. as it doesnt seem like you do
 
Lots of talk of brotherly love so far and nothing demonstrates that more than these pictures of players praying together

Surely a rivalry.

Pakistan fans did not like afghanns celebrating agaisnt them

I didn't see that

Problem would have been if Pakistan had won.
 
This is a very interesting rivalry to watch. Especially considering Afghans are the closest to Pakistani cricketers in terms of natural talent.
 
The stupidity of selectors has bought a meaning to this rivalry otherwise it was like Man United v Wrexham level

Theres no rivalry

Pakistan has a 70 year history of playing test match cricket, winning ICC trophys producing world class batters and bowlers and being no 1 in all formats

Afghanistan have nothing no history, no rivalry
 
Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh is the one and the only genuine rivalry left in Cricket. Let’s face the truth. The Naagin derby is untouchable.

Here is political hate that gives fire to this rivalyry.

There is a rivarly and if pakistani fans dont want to admit it because of superiority compelx than cant ay much about that

Its good cricket but on what basis is it a rivalry?

If Ireland fans get riled up and beat up Aussie fans one day, will their matches become the next ashes?

It can develop into a rivalry though and could be a pretty good one.

Afghanistan Pakistan games could be the next Sharjah Cup.

Political hate.

Afghans and pakistanis hate each other. Afghans blame pakistan for what pakistan have done to their country by supporting the taliban in removing a democratic govt.

Pakistanis call afghans namak haram and look at them as third class people. They mistreat them aswell in pakistana and blame them for crime. There is racism against them.

The political hate spills over in cricket as afghans feel they can match up to pakistan now

Its not beating pkistan one day. Afghanistan has given nail biting matches to pakistan since 2018, it was eventually going to happen where they would beat us. And im glad they did.

Pakistanis will never accept this as rivalry due to superiority complex as thet see their cricket team to be better than afghanistan and not good enough to be rivals, while we try to kiss up the boards superior to us..

Please stop pretending to be a Pakistani, at this point it’s embarrassing.

Also yeah it’s our fault that America went and bombed them.

We given refuge to millions of them.

It’s not that we hate them. They hate us no matter how much we as people have done for them.

We don’t look at them at third class people at all, it’s you Afghans who have hate towards us

Theres no rivalry

Pakistan has a 70 year history of playing test match cricket, winning ICC trophys producing world class batters and bowlers and being no 1 in all formats

Afghanistan have nothing no history, no rivalry


Pakistan vs Afghanistan is the hottest rivalry in the World today. It rivals the Ashes in many ways.
 
Seems Afghanistan CB having a troll moment?

They have previous, such an immature and petty bunch. Have to troll rather than celebrate their own team. That's why it was imperative we beat this mob, but thanks to Shadab, that didn't happen.

Not sure why we even agreed to play them in the first place given their previous.

But it ain’t a complex. Pak is superior to Afghan is every sense. So…?

I asked for his view on the violence committed from Afghan fans towards Pakistani crowds during some of the Pakistan v Afghanistan matches in recent years, his response was "nobody cares". He has a strong view on how Pakistanis mistreat Afghans but not a word when the shoe is in the other foot.

you know whats funny, when someone in britian uses the word we for Pakistanis.

Again, i think have mentioned this many times im Pakistani and I can vote (something which you cant do). But knowing your racist attitudes toward Afghans you cant accept a Pakistani supporting Afghanistan so you label them as Afghans and than use hateful words against them

so now Pakistani fans will take offense in whose picture is being used on a headline or score card?

When it comes to Afghanistan, Pakistanis get into too many complexes where they think any news or acts by Afghans is against us
 
I've seen a picture of Major's face. Doesn't look Afghan to me but he is definitely a bigger supporter of Misbah and Afghanistan than Pakistan cricket.

bro, you are much more sane poster on such topics, so dont know why you leaning towards the afghan hate.

Afghans have resentment towards Pakistanis, and rightly so. The reason for that you can see on this thread where many Pakistanis hate them. They think they gave them refuge but they dont see they destroyed them and than gave them refuge.

Pakistan expects Afghans to bow down to them, whcih they will never do and it doesnt sit well with them. Everyone action of an Afghan is looked with suspicion.

I'm not leaning towards Afghan hate.

There has to be balance. Politically and socially, I actually agree with you but when it comes to Pakistan v Afghanistan matches, it's the Pakistanis in the crowd who get beaten by a mob of Afghans. This has happened on at least two occasions from what I can recall. You can't excuse that.

And i condem those fights because if i was there in the frowd with my family i would feel uneasy if there few bad apples that would be throwing chairs.

This time around, the players were coneucting themselves in good manners and the crowd didnt go crazy.
 
The chest thumping by AFG supporters should stop, morethan their victory it is Pakistan's defeat their dream of making it South Asian "Raakh" series would not be fulfilled

America did what it did but Pakistan chose to be the mercenary nation in the war. Didn't Pakistan's PM celebrate return of Taliban ? I am surprised that Pakistanis find it surprising that Afghanis hate them, you have been providing support to Taliban since the last 40+ years.
 
I am very happy," Akhtar said in a video posted on his YouTube channel. "If Pathans and Bengalis channelise their energy, they can become the world's leading communities. Because both have extremism in them. If extremism can be channelised positively, with maturity, they can become the world's best. I am very happy that our Pathan brothers have won."

"Afghanistan is a formidable side. Their spinners are great. Mohammad Nabi bowled well. All their spinners are mysteries. With these mystery spinners, Afghanistan is going to be one of the best teams in the world cup to be held in India."

Afghans mark cricket win quietly at home, with music abroad
Afghans have celebrated their national cricket team’s landmark victory over Pakistan, although fan festivities were more muted back home because of the ruling Taliban restrictions on music

Afghans on Monday celebrated their national cricket team's landmark victory over Pakistan, although fan festivities were more muted back home because of the ruling Taliban restrictions on music.

On Sunday, Afghanistan won its first series against neighboring Pakistan, a top-six ranked International Cricket Council team, for the first time since the war-torn country's world cricket debut in 2009. It beat Pakistan to take a 2-0 lead in a three-match series in Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates.

The Afghanistan Cricket Board said in a tweet Monday that the team put on an “incredible show” to clinch a historic series win. The team defeated Pakistan by seven wickets. “History made by Afghan champions,” said the board.

Some social media posts showed Afghans dancing a national dance without music on the streets of the Afghan capital, Kabul.

Outside Afghanistan, music accompanied the celebrations — as did the three-colored flag of the former, U.S.-backed government which many fans carried on their shoulders.

Mullah Abdul Kabir, from the office of the Afghan Taliban prime minister, offered congratulations and said the Taliban government stands by its athletes and is committed to help them train and improve. “We wish more success for the cricket heroes and pray for them,” he said.

The Taliban army chief, Fasihuddin Fitrat Badakhshani, also congratulated the team.

One of the players, Najib Zadran, described their win as a ""significant and historic achievement."

Afghan cricket officials earlier this year slammed Australia’s decision to cancel their men’s one-day international cricket series because of Taliban restrictions on women’s rights. The national cricket board said it was “extremely disappointed and saddened" by the ban.

Not much of a rivalry. It's usually a one-side consistently winning. Political tension does not mean it transitions to cricket rivalry.
 
Inzamam-ul-Haq in his presser:

"No one should take Afghanistan as a lightweight team, and so to rest players because of that would be wrong; Of course, if you feel that your players need a rest, then do rest them but for that reason alone"

"We saw what happened when we rested some players against Afghanistan in the previous series; Afghanistan is a proper team and they give a good fight to all teams"

"If we have to rest players, we will do that but not because we are playing Afghanistan, we will play with our best side against Afghanistan."
 
I honestly can’t wait for Afghanistan to give a serious reality check to those fans who thought we should have or would have beaten them if Babar and Rizwan played

Afghanistan can beat anyone when pitches suit them.

But apparently it was an embarrassment to lose to them in Sharjah and we needed Babar+Rizwan according to Shadab

It’s time to prove this now
