Fantastic performance by the F Areas so far

Rao said that he will declare after lunch.

If they declare after lunch, it would be bit too late. They should play 1 hour, try to score 60-70 runs and declare.

perhaps he is worried about the Afridi factor.

Either way it will be a very interesting game.
 
is this pitch ok? anyone? i mean 27/1 on third day against good bowling attack seems unbelievable. I don't think Federal Areas will declare anytime sooner than lunch, they will be too scared to loose, remember Afridi is there!

he might not be reliable but he certainly sends shivers into opposition's spines with his aggression.

It's not about reliability, it's about the fact that with Afridi present in a batting line-up, your comfortable margin of declaration skyrockets because of his lethally fatal threat, however big, it's still there.

Would you eat the most delicious piece of chocolate the universe has ever seen if there was a 99% chance it's safe, but a 1% chance of certain death?

It's called the Afridi Effect.

You just described the opposite. His team fears of him, likely to send shivers to his own team more than his opposition team. Stop kidding here ! :))

Afridi>>>>>>>>>>the YUVI
 
good knock from Afridi.

Also disappointing to see only 9 overs from Akhtar again.
 
conratz to all afridi fans

Shahid Afridi 59(36) 6 4's 2 6's

good to see him score some runs
and also pleased to see akhtar bowl 9 overs out of 45
he needs to bowl more and more
 
Really good to see Afridi amongst the runs but i do wish to know which bowler was bowling to him. 9 overs in the second innings is an improvement from Akhtar, it is important to view it in proportion, he did bowl the most no of overs in the 2nd innings. But still he has a long way to go, he can do better than this. Overall 22 overs, 3 wickets. Average outing still. He is alright for ODI's but still not ready for test cricket yet.

Khalid Latif aka the 'leg side swiper' with an unbeaten century :eek:

How poor is our domestic cricket that someone like Latif is allowed to score plenty of runs?
 
At Last the beast gets some runs I really hope he carries on this!

can't be too bad if the bowlers he was facing were Akhtar, Tanvir, Rao and Arafat

Latif averages 30 in first class

i doubt if they were playing on cement wicket
 
Thats quite a good attempt at chasing 367 with only a session and a half to - perhaps if they had 10 or 15 more overs extra it could have been a very close chase...

Afridi always seems to perform better with the bat in tests than in the shorter versions of the game. Afridi for test captain - the aggression is needed in the pakistan team
 
Interesting to note that the Sindh runrate in each innings was significantly higher than the Feds.

Thats the Afridi factor :127:

:afridi
 
another thing i have realized that when Afridi doesn't perform with bowling, he focuses more on batting somehow performs with bat, he was not having luck in bowling in this match and he stepped up his batting.
SEE, i said Federal Areas won't declare before lunch because of the Shivers sent down by Afridi Factor!
 
My goodness. It's clear that Afridi gave Akhtar those figures. I'm suprised the Earth is still here after that universe splitting half century.

Thats what we call a utility cricketer and I bet Adridi is among the best when it comes to utility players.

Maybe the opposition felt really sorry for him and gave him everything on leg stump. J/k

But seriously how does he do it in domestic cricket against such good bowlers. Against Zimbabwe he got out to 110-115 km/hr medium pacers attempting such elegent shots on the leg side to deliveries pitched way outside offstump.

It's a wonder why Faithal does not get picked Pak ODI/20-20 teams despite giving such earth shattering^^^ displays of his genius; when all others were busy chasing some fast runs, Faithal Bhajna was single handedly ensuring that 'The Real Cricket' does not die or wither away!

Faithal the Great Bhanjay, we salute you for your bravery...please go to ICl now...please, pretty please!

Not to forget that he could not play a cover drive/square drive/heck any kind of drive on the off side...even if his life depended on it!

The only two shots he displayed on the off side were: dab to the third man or dab to the off side near cover and run a single!
 
No doubt that the captain has done his best to get the most out of a limited player like Latif.

He doesn't do well in domestic either (avg of 30). He just has a good game here and there because that is what his stats tell me
http://www.pcboard.com.pk/Pakistan/Players/11/11483/11483.html

47 matches, 89 innings, 8 NO, 2586 runs, 7 100s, 8 50s

If I look at the hundred and fifties he made atleast 1100 runs (but it is probably 1300 as you don't just get out right on 50 or 100). The numbers get skewed because of this as he only has half the runs left for rest of his innings/matches.

I haven't seen him much but sometimes average people do score 100s

:))) :)))

Bhanja is a class Test Cricketer and he had in the back of his mind that he was playing a 4 day match and was probably eying to be nominated in the Pakistan Test Squad soon thats why he was not going for runs.

Leave the kid alone Monsee :P
 
good knock by afridi finally, plus this was no small stadium this was played at the national stadium in karachi which is used for internationals so some sixes from afridi proves he still got it in him and he ain't finished. just hope he can produce knocks like this for his country

Well I never had any doubts in his hitting capabilities for sure, its just that the guy is out of touch and no one is really allowing him to play the way he wants to.Lawson and Malik were always after his a** and they just wanted him to bat in almost every game.Now as Lawson has packed his luggage and Hopefully Malik's days are numbered as well, I don't see why Afridi isn't back to his hitting best provided he is given the confidence which Inzy and Woolmer gave him.
 
Let's see how it goes.. Should be a confidence boost in Afridi.. At least there wouldn't be anymore 'tears in the dressing room' scene....

I would sell the Beast, add a Humayun Farhat, a few Dhoni-esque hitters and a few like Imran Nazir...just to see the following from the same last innings:

One small inning and here you are? I still didn't get explanation of consistent getting dismissed on duck like tailender.

wait a min, but he is a full time bowler. Isn't that what you used an excuse to pardon his batting? Let's go to your way, how is Afridi bowling doing so far in recent test domestic ? :batman:
 
hopefully this 59 from Afridi means a sign of great things to come... although I wouldn't bank on it by any means.. I hope his bowling doesn't wither...
 
His bowling hasn't been helpful at all especially in flat track where experienced spinner like Afridi should have used the advantage properly. Guess what? That explains why he never was picked for Test, but likely to get dropped in ODI and T20 very soon.

Brilliant and quite improved performance from Tanvir so far. Love the attitude that he has, especially still intact by Wasim Akram

Of course, Sarfraz Nawaz has never criticized Misbah, Younis and Yousuf, but why picked simply on Afridi? Why on Afridi when the team is totally dependable on Afridi, and not Misbah,Younis,Yousuf those three consistently scoring duck, and i hereby thinking like Sarfraz Nawaz to criticize Afridi only which i should have been criticizing Younis, Yousuf and Misbah rather than Afridi. Fair explanation of Sarfraz Nawaz cameo !

or simply Pakistani poster who wishes Pakistan to succeed and that's only can happen if we can get right player, not like Afridi to score duck when needed 15 runs to chase
 
THE RETURN OF THE BEAST

Pretty poor captaincy on the part of Federal Areas. Pretty much made sure nothing but a draw could ensue from the match.
Under pressure, a good knock from :afridi
 
Great to see this 59 from Shahid, must be a great confidence-booster, for a cricketer under mounds of pressure from the critics, and sadly, his own team-mates. This should be a good way for him to play himself back into form; I feel that this is just the beginning. I know, that if he applies all of his aggression and focuses on Test cricket as well, we'll see him as a regular in all forms of the game, and rightly so.

Keep it up you disrespectful epitome of horse-anguish.
 
You may all sit down.... the queue to becomes Afridi's lunch is no longer needed.

The BEAST has eaten for a week! Please be patient, ur time will come.
We appologise for the incovenience caused

My point is Afridi knows that the captaincy will be up for grab come this December and that will bring an extra zip to his inconsistent batting, I can almost bet anything that now Afridi will be more consistent and we won't see those rash shots in the Dubai 3 ODIs.
 
I dont think any players commitment can be questioned. Its a scandalous suggestion. And a very poor one.
 
I never questioned Afridi's commitment for Pakistan, In my view he is probably one of the very few players who has no commitment issues and is rather 200% committed.Its all of your imagination who think that I am questioning Afridi's commitment
