Bhaio. Is afridi ne Asia cup main india ke khilaf jitwaya tha. Consider him a bowler who can bat once a while. Our management need to consider him according.

Phir uski team mein jaga nahin banti because we have got better spinners such as Nawaz.

Re: Pakistan vs India- 27th February 2016- Asia Cup

To be honest we have only got one talented young batsman right now, Babar Azam and his loss due to injury is a big blow

Umar Akmal is talented but not taking responsibility with the bat (don’t think he’s good against spin)

Sharjeel is a hack or slogger (and I am beginning to agree with Waleed now). Manzoor is not the answer either. If these two fail in the next games of Asia Cup, Shehzad (another unreliable player) will be back

Asad Shafiq and Azhar Ali are mainly test players. Their game is not suited to limited overs cricket (However could try Asad as a stabiliser in the middle overs of ODI). Younis and Misbah will obviously play tests

Malik is too inconsistent

Sarfraz hasn’t done much with the bat of late

Haris Sohail is over-rated but could be tried again

Sami Aslam made 45 in the only ODI he’s played so far

Hafeez has been our most consistent batsman across all formats in recent times (which is saying something)

Jadeja’s analysis of Afridi’s captaincy and style of play
Everyone but blind Afridi fans have been saying this for years

This is not as easy as Jadeja is making it out be. Afridi is well supported but he has also been a very heavily criticised player.

But the problem is that his pretty face sells everything from Shampoo to toothpaste, from bubble gum to hajmoula, from rice to fair and lovely, from calling cards to lawn suits. He is in hundred different ads in Pakistan. So it is strategically not easy to rest him due to pressure from sponsors. When big corporate firms invest millions in a player, they don’t want him to get booted out.

It probably takes one little call from Pepsi to PCB to persuade them. So it’s largely all about money and corporate blackmailing that comes to Afridi’s rescue.

Now I really hope Waleed doesn’t see this post. He’s the only Afridi fan I like, lol.

Oye Waleedeee, don’t mind okay. We’re still pinkie friends.

Re: Pakistan vs India- 27th February 2016- Asia Cup

need to boot out players like hafeez, afridi, malik, akmals.

at least let nawaz play and give him some time to settle and take charge in batting. hafeez is useless as a batsmen just like ahmed shahzad

Now people will start highlight what Ajay Jadeja says about SHAHID KHAN AFRIDI

When you have so many haters people are ought to say bad things about that guy

Afridi is the superstar of Pakistan cricket and will always remain and btw we are winning the Asia cup

And the same people who are criticizing Afridi were dancing on Afridi 2 years ago on this forum when he scored those two sixes lulz](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=lulz)

Bhai no one hates (that is too strong a word) Afridi but the frustrating thing for us is the way he gets out repeatedly in brain dead fashion

Ask yourself a simple Q

Was the second run really necessary (vs India)?

Is it really necessary to hit every ball for six regardless of the match situation?

@KKF

@the kaur

true! he is a class in his own. i wish him best of luck. he sensationalised the game right away sending the three batsmen to the pavilion. if other bowlers in the beginning took a wicket right after [Sami for instance] the game could have turned upside down for Indians.

anyway, Pakistan has to prove that they can face pressures and absorb them in the remaining matches. i would love to see India and Pakistan in the FINAL.

come on Pak, you can do it!

Mohammad Amir was such a class that Yuvi was not able to read his bowling even. At the end of the match Kohli and Amir was shaking hand like true sportsman. India-Pak public should let the match remain just a match. Even if India loses match to Pakistan in final, I want her to lose against only Amir. That guy was defending the most indefensible score put up ever.
Congrats PCB for giving that boy another chance.

Come on…I don’t hate Afridi. In fact, on the contrary, I think he’s quite good looking.

The geezer is still very fit for 42-43 years old.

Now when I grow up - I want to be as fit as Afridi. :k:

Re: Pakistan vs India- 27th February 2016- Asia Cup

Very fit for 42-43 years old? but afridi is only 35.
