Akhtar - ''Allah kare Afridiworld cup jeet ke retire ho.''
just think takes back his decision to retire,
btw
And thanks for supporting pakistanis whether its only an individual, this is the major thing both the nations need to look at.
Sadder thing is this thread will die along with Afridi's career when/if/how he retires.
Gone.

At the toss afridi says he still hasnt taken a decision on retirement.....)
#EndofAnEra it's all over FC, the final star of the Attitude era is finished.
He's trolling you.
He looked like he was going to cry today![]()
Afridi is playing in Afghanistan premier league tonight. So lucky to still witness the legend.
Thank you for your service fc. I almost missed it.
Afridi gone for 1
He was the biggest underachiever ever maybe won us a dozen games but lost 10 times that
Legendary Afridi Bhai finishes his spell with 4-0-55-0, costliest of the match. Finally he seems to be ageing, will he play next PSL?
He has not played cricket for months. Coming back from injuries. The wicket is flat and it's Sharjah, so short boundaries. There is lots of dew as well. No easy conditions.
Why Afridi is not part of Pakistan's T20i and ODI teams i have no idea.
He clearly still has it!
Afridi still remains our best all rounder, even 2 years since retiring. IMO he would’ve done well in the 2019 World Cup.
It's unfortunate that Afridi is not part of the coaching setup for PCrt when every other unproven Heckle, Jeckle andare made coaches. Lala was playing modern day ODI cricket back in 1996. PCB should pay him whatever he asks and make him white-ball batting and spin bowling coach. Would do wonders for the side. Would have been better than Jos Buttler had there been similar playing conditions in the 90's and early 00's.

Afridi has grown too big to be a PCB employee. He's I believe after Imran, Miandad, Wasim the biggest superstar in Pakistan, probably even ahead of Akhtar?
The only position fitting enough for him is to be a PCB chairman in future but in all honesty administration isn't his thing. He should continue his charity work and build a political career using it as a launch pad. I see him following Imran's footsteps. He can crack it it he learns when to say what.

Look forward to see him.as PCB chairman in near future to bring a paradigm shift. He brought it as a cricketer in 1996 when he helped changed Cricket forever. Now time to do it as an administrator.

What a performance tonight, shame on his haters yar.
This guy has been a brilliant ODI player for a while now.
75 from 64 with the bat and a 5 wicket haul, wow. And THAT too in a low scoring game with both teams scoring just 200 odd runs.

As an ODI bowler he was solid and improved with age. In T20s he was incredible with the ball. But with the bat in all 3 formats he was pathetic. He did merit a place in the team at times on his bowling alone, never once did he merit a place with his batting.Remembering good old days. You never know what you have until it’s gone forever.
All those who spoke of Afridi back in the day, if you have any self respect you should post your formal apologies in this thread and ask for forgiveness.

His attitude was also dreadful summed up by the selfish and humiliating retirement from Test cricket in that fixing scandal series.
Had Afridi played for Australia he would have been dropped very early on for an extended period which would either forced him to get his act together or permanently keep him out.
Afridi also put a ball in his mouth to humiliate himself and our country on the international stage - things like that do more damage than losing matches.
Afridi also got banned for tampering with the wicket if I recall at Faisalabad when a gas cannister exploded.

Whatever Afridi did was to help the team win. He did not sell his country. I don't remember seeing him dropping a catch. He used to lift the team with his personality. His batting was hit or miss. When miss, Pakistan didn't lose much, because there were better batsmen. But when he hit, it was spectacular and there was no need for others. If Afridi played for Australia, he would not be Afridi. Afridi was a quintessential Pakistani: unpredictable, flawed, but always capable of jaw dropping brilliance.As an ODI bowler he was solid and improved with age.

I was trying to find a post written around 12 years ago for Afridi, unable to find it using this search feature.Thanks for that summary, Harsha Bhogle
Like making a joke of us the international stage hy putting a whole cricket ball in his mouth?Whatever Afridi did was to help the team win. He did not sell his country.
