Shahid Afridi - Take a Bow!

[Zamee]

Atleast his playing with an injury proved that he was trying and playing for the team. Saw quite a few threads recently trying to establish that he is not serious and causing problems in the team.

This! At-least he didn't under-perform like some usual suspects. :umarakmal :kami

 

[Amjid Javed]

If Afridi had any dignity, which i dont think he has he would retire for the 99th time in his career and actually stick to it, clearly not good enough for international cricket anymore.

 

[mosh101]

Pathetic body language from afridi ! Doesn't seem interested to play for pak ! Make him captain, and bam his body language will change ! Such a sissy guy ! He should'nt walk away but should be thrown out....

ya he over-performed

 

[Canistani Hero]

Afridi on reading this thread, to FC

 

[Bhaijaan]

The legend has returned.

Shahid Afridi - Take a Bow !

Great entertainment from lala

 

[JustListen]

Cant believe, you are the op, Fc.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Sher-E-Lala is Back...

 

[Bhaijaan]

I am a fair man bro. I believe in the legend, as well as in UV. Picking one over the other doesn't mean he's not great.

[LegCutter]

If he had not run out of partners, he was well on his way to make another 32 ball 100. Poor Lala

......... Sarcasm.....

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

On Afridi (To paraphrase Churchill) - "Never in the field of cricket was so much breath wasted by so many over so little"

 

[Bhaijaan]

Never really thought of him as a great finisher, especially while chasing. Guy should b sent in as pinch hitter at one down.

 

[cricketworm]

Shabash Lalay!

 

[ahmed778]

PCB banning afridi was a crime against humanity ...the international human rights commission should investegate afridis case

living legend, enjoy while you can

Legend

L-e-g-e-n-d

Never doubt the ability of the BEAST.

Lala, you LEGEND!

Lala-e-Sher!!!

LEGEND!!!

Legend now lets hope he continues playing this inshaAllah.

[Bhaijaan]

Legend had a bad day and now look at them haters going crazy. If only they could learn to appreciate those killer looks, silky hair and brutal hits instead of irrelevant stats.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lifted the spirits today. Murdo mey jaan phoonk di

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

I think another MOM performance.

 

[Red Devil]

Lala to get a 5fer and win us the match!

 

[Bhaijaan]

Backing Lala tonight, hopefully will pick a lot of wickets as well later on. Would only be better for the game and Pak kikrit.

Looks dont matter

Its the killer instinct

 

[HamzaSaeen]

 

[Mamoon]

 

[talha3]

Excellent knock. He lives by the sword and dies by it but today he was as sensible as we can ask for. Restrained himself from attacking short balls early on as they usually get him out.

 

[FusedBulb]

Good one, PakPosheeda.

Afridi rocks!

Where did you go Momo?

We dearly miss you.

 

[Abdul Haq]

Boom Boom is Back....

 

[Abdul Haq]

Friends, u notice, that there is no sticker on the Bat of Afridi. If you inform and in the team every body with you and if not inform and not in the team no one with you...

 

[Mamoon]

Shahid Afridi - Take a Bow !

Haters continue hate

While Afridi collects his 30 MOM award which puts him on level with Lara.

Only a matter of time before gangsta Afridi overtakes Kallis and Ponting to become number 3 on the list.

Continue hating

 

[LegCutter]

This was truly a devastating performance. What a comeback

 

[kingusama92]

I hate his inconsistencies, but what a performance.

Credit where credit is due.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Chhha gyaa aaj to.

Shahid Afridi - Take a Bow !

Pretty cold hearted exchange with Whatmore

Was very warm with everyone else.

 

[leatherface58]

Re: Shahid Afridi - Take a Bow !

Brilliant stuff damn. Windies cannot play spin but a 7-fer is -worthy.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Doing it in style. He's the man.

 

[leatherface58]

Re: Shahid Afridi - Take a Bow !

Lol what a jinx freelance. Bang on! )

 

[Bhaijaan]

26 from just 20.

SR - 130!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mamoon]

2013 has been a slightly better year with the bat for him.

 

[amjad145]

Tailender out

 

[Sledger]

That was a great innings. Any time Afridi scores 20+, Pakistan should celebrate.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good knock

 

[Master Blaster]

Absolutely slaughtered the Saffies with 4 manly 4s.

 

[Afridirocks]

its not even about him scoring 26, the major thing our batsman should learn is that these bowlers are there to be hit, as long as you have an aggressive intent

 

[chaiwala]

Massive knock. What a beast.

 

[infysaran]

I really miss 0(1) today.

 

[Bhaijaan]

The happiness and positivity he brings with these little cameos is priceless.

 

[bablu_khan]

Already replace Misbah as captain. He looks to be the deal.

 

[aukhan]

26 runs and he is a beast.

People needs to raise their standard.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Seriously,you guys are satisfied with such a performance? Just shows you how low our standards have gone. Surely you guys can expect something?!

 

[Bhaijaan]

Match winner.

 

[GenericBrand]

Match winner.

hahaha oh you

 

[dilraza]

hahaha oh you

Really a match winner. 3fer . Gr8 bowling lala

 

[AZ]

great all-round performance from Afridi, his body language was completely transformed from the game at Sharjah, especially in the field (I was at both matches).

looked damn determined to prove a point, and he did so with typical style and panache.

 

[Pak_legend]

He has 6 wickets in the last 2 ODIs. 3 in each. And people arent happy with it? LMAO

 

[Bhaijaan]

If only India had a player like Afridi.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Take a bow Lala!

Phenomenal all round performance, leading from the front. Captain positive!

 

[Mo_Ahmed84]

Why didn't he take 7?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Its been a one man show tonight from Pakistan. Afridi is the only man interested in fight, rest have been submissive.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lone warrior tonight. No support whatsoever from his so called teammates.

 

[Bhaijaan]

What a knock it was!


Afridi, much respect!

 

[Indiafan]

In hindsight, shouldn't have fielded first

 

[Logical]

PP wouldn't be the same without Freelance.

Absolutely gutted with the result. Felt Afridi's passion and fight to the bone. But you could always sense he was the only fighter out there from Pakistan who under a few months of Misbah's captaincy in tests have got rather soft.

 

[waleed88]

Man seriously our youngsters need stress tests. Most of them would fail. They literally wilt under pressure. Afridi played well though and bowled well too.

I think we need to make a tough decision on Umar Akmal, he's showing real lack of brain.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Magnificent bowling performance again.

and a very valuable run a ball contribution with the bat so far.


Afridi turning it on just before the world cup... The best ODI player from Pakistan at least. You have to admit it.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Why doesn't he show tthis kind of application all the time? Is he not hungry to win?

Please do not go by the opinions of PPers. Afridi is appreciated by the likes of even Geoffrey Boycott. As an all round package combined with aggressive leadership and fielding abilities, he is a pretty amazing limited overs player.

 

[Statsman]

10-1-36-1 is brilliant in these conditions. It is surprising that even with latest technology teams like NZ, Eng and WI haven't been able to decode his bowling. To some extent Aus and SA too.

Have you noticed even ABD look confuse against his bowling and got out same way many times.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Its all about pressure. You can do all your analysis, at the end of the day when you're out there in the middle, if you don't have the balls to stand up to a bowler, he will get you out.

 

[Statsman]

Nope. Any videos?

 

[j_kazmi]

Why can't he bat this sensibly all the time?

I criticise afridi a lot but I would be one of his biggest fans if he batted with this maturity a lot more.

 

[waleed88]

Man this is has been quite a batting display by Afridi. Respect!!!

 

[Strike Rate]

Nope. Any videos?

I think you can find it in youtube i saw Dilshan and ABD getting out same way multiple times against Afridi.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Goodness me, this is an absolute heroic effort under extreme pressure. Impressive!

Lets score a 50 here! Come on

 

[Mamoon]

A bad day at the office for Afridi haters. Tremendous knock so far. Great application.

 

[aukhan]

Good responsible innings from him.
