Re: May 6, 2010 - World T20 - Pakistan v England
I think…its still not too late…if the captainship(the very next match) is transferred to Abdur Razzaq..so Pakistan still can make a chance to reach the semis… ![]()
n what will Razzaq do …
Transferring captaincy to somebody else won’t help, specially in the middle of world series
Pakistan has to re-think there batting line up, they need to plan their innings as per the changes happening on the ground, i suggest, send Fawad Alam one down, followed by Misbah and Umer Akmal, Afridi and Razaq..
Lets play with 3 pacers and two spinners… change the bowlers more often…
n what will Razzaq do ......
exactly the samething afridi is doing
loose matches for Pakistan
even i can do that
Re: May 6, 2010 - World T20 - Pakistan v England
I am sure…Razzaq will lead Pakistan better than Afridi at this time… ![]()
I guess Razzaq has other kind of mindset than Afridi at the moment…
i think its a little unfair to make 'i told you so claims' on this basis. most of the staunchest Afridi captaincy support came relatively late (the 09 world cup is only 9 months old...), so its been a short period of Afridi support for pretty much everyone, you arent alone there.
i dont recall you having concerns on his competence on that thread, and seizing the opportunity now doesnt work. fact that he made bad decisions now doesnt validate any concerns expressed following the ball biting controversy, and no points have been proven at all.
on the other hand if at some point he does bite the ball and dance on the pitch I would be happy to concede the point to you.
I said that I supported him for a short period, what's so unfair about that, what others did is not of concern to me, but I did stop the support after he behaved in an unacceptable manner during that ball biting incident. So don't try this "everyone only supported him for that short period". You couldnt stop praising him even after the ball biting incident and thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. I dont have tunnel vision to just look at one thing only. The fact that he bit the ball told me he was not captain material. A guy who bites a ball in front of millions of people and thinks he could get away with it does not have much of an astute thinking brain. Maybe that point is not clear to many but it show here with **all **the concerns expressed. I think you are still smarting from that captaincy arguments. have it your way, this is the last I will be saying on the matter. even if he danced and bit the ball again you will still be in the front row to get him another Pride of performance.
i thought u wont support a team led by a brainless captain :p
Where did I say that?
Where did I say that?
A totally pathetic display by our team in all departments, batting, fielding and bowling. The height of stupidity for me was when afridi on his very first ball played it straight to a fielder and ran for a non existent run and than got angry with Umar Akmal for running him out. Brainless captain of a brainless team.
well at least our women did better than these chakkas even though they lost to SL
Sri Lanka Women 108 (19.3/20 ov)
Pakistan Women 107 (20.0/20 ov) Sri Lanka Women won by 1 run
u said it in ur previous post
u said it in ur previous post
Can you underline where I said I won't support the team.
I said that I supported him for a short period, what's so unfair about that,
I didnt say that was the unfair bit..

Point is that the 'short' period's beginning is pretty much the same for everyone... so its not that relevant. for some the period ended with the ball biting thats all.

Perhaps that is the case, but you really did not express these broader, non-tunnel vision concerns back then, even though you posted quite a bit in that thread. You were concerned about trusting him not to cheat. You were concerned about setting examples. What you werent concerned about is whether or not he'd make the right bowling changes. At the very least you didnt say so, but forgive me for neglecting to think you were holding such concerns about his bowling changes privately.

Read your posts again that thread.
Re: May 6, 2010 - World T20 - Pakistan v England
the only points i remember making in that thread are variants of
a) he was the best candidate for captaincy amongst the options polled
b) he had been punished by the ICC and PCB, and so it went against historical precedence to further penalize him by denying him captaincy on this basis alone.
not quite the same as saying he was the best thing since sliced bread.
Re: May 6, 2010 - World T20 - Pakistan v England
