Re: ICC Awards: Aleem Dar is Umpire of the Year, Dilshan wins T-20 award

Pakistanis were whining even last time how Afridi should have gotten the ICC 20/20 player award ahead of Yuvraj Singh......

but as far as aleem is concerned no such issue here

as india has no umpire in the elite panel.

bingo!

But you KNOW that Afridi got The Player of the Tournament award in world T20 2007

Check the history before you speak.

Final: India v Pakistan at Johannesburg, Sep 24, 2007 | Cricket Commentary | Cricinfo.com

I dont think he was talking about Player of the Tournament for the T20 WC :)

Re: ICC Awards: Aleem Dar is Umpire of the Year, Dilshan wins T-20 award

obviously that was the only major event of T20 in 2007
so afridi shud've got it

Re: ICC Awards: Aleem Dar is Umpire of the Year, Dilshan wins T-20 award

wow mr. Dar? damn i can remember we did interview from my livingroom (phone-interview) with him for our local tv years ago when there was World cup cricket in SAfrica wow.

Yuvraj was more consistent throughout the year. Have your forgotten his six 6s ?? The ICC award was not just for one tournament.

Btw, Afridi also wanted the award for 2009 instead of the more deserving Dilshan :hehe:

Shahid Afridi | Dilshan | T20 World Cup | Player of the Tournament | ICC | Misjudge - Oneindia Cricket

BS reporting from a Kachra paper only read by people with no sense. They didn’t even know the T20 award was not based on the overall performance during the tournament but based on an individual performance. Dilhsan and Afridi were nominated because of their performances during one single game.

Afridi was head and shouders above Dilshan if the comparison is done between their nominated performances and not overall performance during the tournament.

Aleem Dar returns home with ICC award


LAHORE: Pakistani umpire Aleem Dar, who has been named International Cricket Council (ICC) Umpire of the Year, reached Lahore on Monday, a private TV channel reported.

Talking to reporters, Aleem said that he had brought joy for Pakistan. He said he got all the acclaim because of Pakistan. “I will do my best to retain the title,” the umpire added. To a question, he said that Simon Taufel deliberately gave Umar Akmal out in the semi-final of the ICC Champions’ Trophy that concluded recently. daily times monitor

Dar could be in trouble with ICC and Taufel if he really did say the bold part

I think when India was 20/20 champion Afridi walked away with man of the series award and all pakistanis hailed that decision.. Why are you guys complaining now.. I am sure had yuvraj not hit those 6 6's even t20 award wud have gone to afridi

Thats not what he said … I think Daily Times mistyped it**… **

He deserved to win. Too bad his father wasn't there to see him get this honor.

Dar looks a bit like Waqar Younis..
