Re: Pak/India ODI Series: Champs & Chumps

*Originally posted by Mr Xtreme: *
Who do you think will be the star performers for both teams in the forthcoming epic clash? Which players will turn out to be the duffers who couldn't produce in the most eagerly awaited series for decades?
I think there will be different heroes and villians for 5 ODI's and the 3 test matches according to the different strengths needed for both formats so will addressthe ODI's in this thread and do a different one for the tests later:
ODI Champs for Pakistan:
Yaasir "The Hammer" Hameed
Abdul "Razzler" Razzaq
Moin "The Tiger" Khan
Yousuf "Yoyo" Youhanna
Shoaib "The Mauler" Malik
** ODI Chumps for Pakistan**
Shahid "Suicide Bomber" Afridi
Younis "the Useless" Khan (assuming he plays)
Shoaib "Motormouth" Akhtar
Mohammed Sami "The Bull"
I'll do India in a seperate post...stay tuned
[/QUOTE]
MOIN kahn yousuf youhana and shoaib malik did nothing great in da series. while on da other hand younis khan did very well way better than youhanna and malik and moin i'd say. and AFRIDI did great in RAWALPINDI with da bat and ball... and if he was given chance to bowl in peshawer i think he'd have done great there too. and in LAHORE he jsut got unlucky ...
you forgot to mention the extras as a champ for india
plz ppl afridi shud be out fer gud...he was lucky in pidi cus didnt u see the edges erly on??
im serious...plyain afridi is too big a risk
btw if he duz play he shud com in at 1 down... i think hes only com at 1 dwon once...and he made a 100 of 37...
chumps...well shabbir (xcludin the peshawar match)....shoib and samni hav also bowled well in patches....there is no bloody

shabir shud be gone too i agree and shoaib too malik that is :D
Extreme, ur putting down YoYo as a champ for Pak is gonna come good tonight.
The rickshaw drivers who predict fixed matches and foresee results over shaam di chaa told me so.
If Pakistan are to win, Shoaib and Youhana must fire. Otherwise, forget it.
Taufeeq wasn’t in the original squad to play the ODI’s but he’s playing today. He’ll be under pressure playing his first game in the final but if anyone can handle it it’s Taufeeq “The Rock” Umar.
Go Toffee man show em what yer made of
xtreme stop cheering the losers of todays match. yoyo gone for 1. why did he even make that? toufeeq 18… great.
Apart from the first ODI yoyo turned out to be the biggest chump as far as Paksitan's batting goes. Even Younis performed better than him.
Ok here's the official GS ratings on how they did. Apart from Champs and Chumps there were some players who performed in some but did monumental cock ups in others so I've decided to have a 3rd category called Chimps.
Shahid Afridi: One wonder knock followed by the usual brainless antics
[thumb=E]afridi1131_3487776.JPG[/thumb]
Yasir Hameed: Good series but a let down in the final.
[thumb=E]yasir1131_9480283.JPG[/thumb]
Yoyo: A complete disaster.
[thumb=E]yoyo1131_8684460.JPG[/thumb]
Inzi: Showed Tendulkar who's boss. nuff said.
[thumb=E]inzi1131_5995631.JPG[/thumb]
Taufeeq: Fall guy didn't get the chance to show his true quality
[thumb=E]taufeeq1131_3856090.JPG[/thumb]
Moin Khan: Not the player he was but still produced when it mattered..coz he's a champ see?
[thumb=E]moin1131_9191355.JPG[/thumb]
(cont)
Younis Khan: made one or two useeful contributions but failed to produce a decisive knock once again. Being a senior player that earns him chump status from me.
[thumb=E]younis1131_3255287.JPG[/thumb]
Razzaq: Good series with the bat. We'll forget about the bowling
[thumb=E]razzaq1131_5665890.JPG[/thumb]
Shoaib Malik: Saved his rep in the Final:
[thumb=E]malik1131_9037332.JPG[/thumb]
Shoaib: Won his war with Tendulkar but can't be called anything but a chump after that run out.
[thumb=E]shoaib1131_9574163.JPG[/thumb]
Shabbir: Talk about a mixed bag. from the sublime to the ridiculous
[thumb=E]shabbir1131_9831082.JPG[/thumb]
Sami: Another one who blew hot and cold. Good final game though.
[thumb=E]sami1131_7364478.JPG[/thumb]
^ Yup agree with that.
In short, thats the Pakistan team for you… consistenly inconsistent :k:
I didn’t see the run out, so I assume it was in the 5th ODI, but Shoaib was fairly good through out the series in the bowling deptt. Agressive and kept Indians in some awe.
Anyway, so when is Inzi launching a pic, which is neither his high school mug shot nor shows him as a regular sumo wrestler?
It’s not the best pic of Inzi I agree but it’s still up there on cricifo so if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me.
I agree Shoaib did pretty well overall but if you saw the manner of his run out in the final…oh man…
Shoaib did the exact same thing in the last ODI against NZ. This is the height of unprofessionalism. One would think that a man who’s always going on and on about reforming and becoming a team man would get this fundamental right.
Taufeeq is not “Chimp” 
How can you put him in same category as Afridi!!
Afridi also produced a decent knock just like Shoaib Malik did, so both be either Chimp or Champ, I’d prefer Chimp. Champ for Moin is fine.
sambs, if we are expecting to see professionalism from Shoaib we'll be in for a long wait. He's got other qualities that's the only saving grace.
Captain, Taufeeq is one of my favourite players and he didn't really get a chance. But he dropped two catches and got bowled round his legs after a great start. You don't really expect me to make him a champ on the back of that do you?
