well when will we kick afridi's a$$ out of the team..he is a complete burden on the team and is the weakest link in the value chain from strategic standpoint...na batting hoti ha khan sahib say , na bowling, na fielding...laikan na koi sharam na koi lahaz...will continue to play to make money unless kicked off...
and i careless if he performs in next few matches....players' value to the team should always be gauged strategically with next 12 to 24 months in picture...and if selectors do their job honestly and feel that a certain player's shelf life is over then he should be given this message and must be replaced sooner than later ...aussies are best at it...
we in india pakistan are worst..in our neighbor a player is playing the most meaningless, useless test cricket for last 20 months... and not allowing many deserving players to get a chance....the logic was that a this player will save india's face in those 8 fateful test matches in aus and england..well he performed pathetic but somehow he decided to play and was given a chance against a weak NZ team in the homeground....and he failed again...laikan kaya karien...devta hain wo devta!
