Shahid Afridi - Ducks Watch

Most amount of wickets in current ODI players.

I think that more than covers for his amazing duck record.
 
I hope the Marauder continues this stunning streak until he hits the magic 1-0-0 :afridi

348 wickets in 348 matches is hardly a dazzling record..

Obviously he has the most number of wickets, he has played the greatest number of matches..

What a fazul argument that was.. :facepalm:

Lol a Gladiator fights and wins when there is no hope..

Afridi is only good against minnows and Lanka.. against any other team he hopelessly fails both with the bat and the ball..
 
with the chicken rate touching Rs. 200 per KG and poultry farms making a killing

more ducks can only help the situation :afridi

Aandas and Ducks FTW

That was my point son.

Look at the number of matches he has played.

Obviously, he will have a large number of ducks.

So, he scores a duck every 6th innings.

Who cares?

He is a pinch-hitter that should be at the bottom of the order. He isn't Imran Khan or Sobers.

Besides, his hair is amazing. AMAZING.

:moyo

He obviously doesnt care, ud have thought after 16 years of intnl
cricket the guy wouldve grown a brain And to believe this guy was the odi captain not long ago :facepalm:
 
He's played around 350 games, the fella and the way he bats, doesn't surprise me that he's there.
 
Shahid Afridi 0(1)

Shahid Afridi now has "distinction" most golden ducks in T-20 international cricket. He has now performed this task 6 times, giving him close company are JP and Luke Wright.

why do people still want him to play??? :dav
 
it's an opportunity for a new sponsor. an afridi 0(1) could sell tons of bats. boom boom went bust for a reason
 
I do really think that his role in the team is not clear, what is he playing as -

1. Pure Bowler.
2. Batting All rounder.
3. Bowling All rounder.

He himself needs to think hard, where he want to be and discuss with team managment. Right now he is confused and this confusion is not helping either the team or Shahid.
 
I always wish him the best when he comes to the crease, but I always find myself laughing after the infamous 0(1). It's just so predictable; I called it today too as a joke... but wasn't that funny when it happened :(

I still can't believe the coach wants him to bat at #7... what reason does he have to think he can still bat at that position? Once we get a stable keeper who can take #7 (or even if we are stuck with Kamran), I want Afridi to go to #8 (at best) in T20s (& ODIs). The day we have 4 bowlers that can consistently bowl better than Afridi, he should be dropped. Hope that he knows this and hope that management also thinks this way and are prepared to pull the trigger if his bowling slips to 5th best.

He should quit now
 
For those asking about Afridi's overall 1st ball duck stats. That's now 23 golden ducks in international cricket 12 in ODIs, 5 in tests & 6 in T20Is
 
With all these ducks Afridi should be able to retire without a worry. His duck farm can earn him more money than his cricket
 
Has he hatched an egg yet? Should be be about time with all these ducks :facepalm:
 
I think ICC should give Afridi a special award for all his golden ducks :)
 
Look at Zaheer Khan and Chris Martin. Modern day legends of ducks. :duck
 
cant believe a thread exists called duck watch whereby people want him to fail and even while playing overseas as well

disgraceful
 
Mohsin said:
You dont understand, it was Jamshed, Azhar Ali, Misbah, Shafique, Umar Akmal and Kamran Akmal's fault...they made Afridi play his shots from ball 1 due to their own batting

Its not Afridi's fault :ibutt
Click to expand...

exactly its there fault. if they didn't get out, afridi don't have to come out to bat and these first ball duck never happen. its all there fault.
 
it'll be a shame if he doesnt go on to top that chart, 0(1) has been the story of his life ! :))

only 20 more ducks to go, comon Lala :wasim
 
There is a saying in Punjabi..... "Bud nalun budnaam bura"!

Perfectly fits at Afridi..... Younis, Wasim Akram, Raina, Salman Butt ... and many other have higher "duck percentage" in terms of innings out.....yet.... ! :)

For the math impaired kids, Salman Butt got 4 more ducks than Afridi in every 100 innings!

Feast your eyes! :)

I removed tailenders like Murali, McGrath, Walsh, etc from the list..... Martin would not have made the list anyway because he is yet to get out 100 times...and I only picked batsmen with 15 or more ducks if they have been out in 100 or more international innings.

Quite an eye opening stat, thanks.
 
0's are not as worrying as the the 0(1)'s.

Team is in a precarious situation,and the idiot lofts first ball to long on.Play him at 11 if hes going to do that every time.For starters , promote Gulla above him. Might provoke Afridi to perform better, who knows.

The manner in which Afridi goes out is so stunning, everyone else is forgotten.
23 first ball ducks are to be considered! How many times has he gone out after mis timing a slog on the very first ball.
No other batsman is more guilty of gifting away his wickets than Afridi.

We don't call Butt Boom Boom. Afridi is a perfect example of man getting lost in his own myth and Grandeur.

The way Afridi got out (yesterday against Stallions) and the timing of his dismissal was again not responsible. He had the opportunity to make an impact (and work on his "form") but again, he let his side down, at the worst possible time. He is not a team player.

He has got no responsibility and his team does not matter to him. Enough said.

Good thing for Baba is that from here, any inning in which he scores more than 0 will be considered an improvement. :afridi

A duck is a duck on the score card....be it a first ball duck or 12-ball duck. In T20 (or even ODIs) what would you take a batsman waste 12 ball and then get out on duck or get out first ball. Just in case you have forgotten...... Afridi only plays ODIs and T20s.

Speaking of manner in which a batsman got out..... Butt almost always went fishing out side off stump...being an established batman he was.

Openers always play in comparatively difficult position and SC openers esp. find it difficult to cope with swinging ball.

Wrong comparison. As far as statistics are concerned try looking at the overall percentage of ducks for openers vs middle order batsmen

Exactly ..... so Butt had a huge weakness against moving ball outside off. He could not play them... same way Afridi can not play defensive strokes. He publicly has admitted it.

Again.... duck is a duck ....on the score card.

Most of the batsmen on my list above are middle order batsmen.

Arre I am not defending Butt Axe him too. :D

But Afridi seems to gift wrap his wickets to the bowler while other batsmen seem to make them work for it.

"gifting his wicket" ............?? What apply it only to Afridi?


How many times you hear a captain/coach/fans/media analyzing after match and 80-90% of the times verdict is that "our batsmen got out playing irresponsible shots"! That is also "gifting your wicket".

What about Kamran Akmal? When he drops catches, misses stumping/Runouts, he is also "gifting a wicket". Remember WC match vs NZ when he dropped Taylor twice in Shoaib's over? He is back in the team.
What about our fielders? Semi-final at Mohali?


Point is ..... just as our fielders can not catch.... Afridi can not play defensive strokes. Most people do not understand this simple and plain fact.

You sound like Jamshed Dasti ( PPP MNA) who once disqualified by the supreme court due to carrying the fake degree, came out and said, " degree is a degree, who care if it is real or fake"..

None of the Pak players are "Jonty Rhodes" of fielding, nor they try to act like one.

But Afridi is called "Boom Boom", and tries to act like that all to often, hence magnifying his duckling sequence.
"boom boom" to "doom doom"

Shahid Afridi now has 29 ducks in ODIs, the most by any Pakistani.

Most ducks by a batsman in ODIs: Jayasuriya 34, Shahid Afridi 29, Wasim Akram 28, Jayawardene 26, Muralitharan/Vass 25.

He also has the highest number of ducks in T20Is (6) by a Pakistani.
 
does he think Pakistan Cricket is his Daddy's backyard?

Based on that 88 he is sure to play for another two years, rest assured that is more than enough time to ensure that he secures that world record and takes it out of reach of anyone else.

That innings was breath taking but why single him out only when he fails, what about the likes of YK who has been terrible in ODI Cricket forever.

I am all for dropping Younis, Malik and Gul too but this thread is about the one and true legend.
 
Last ball before the powerplay begins and...

Afridi holes it out in the deep.

Only if he could hold himself back for a single delivery.
