Yep..Miandad did improve him when he was coach.Guy needs to learn Patience.

i was watchin his interview which i recorded when he didnt play a single test match…

“inhay chahiye k mujhey bhi test match khilayen… kiyonkey zahir hai k test ko test ka mind lekar kheloon ga… pehley aap dekhiye saeed anwar aatay theye… chakkay chokay maar key chalay jatay theye aur aaj dekhey woh kahan hain, unn key bagher to team hi nahi hai”..

:smack: test match mein phir test mind lekar khelo:smash:…

Gosh he should have played much better as everyone in his team scored so many runs but hope he will do better in the remaining season.

He might do well in one game but thats about it unless he scores singles and doubles like Allah Ka Banda said. But then again that requires skill and class, something which he lacks

AKB, once again you are making false judgements based on just one match. Would you care to explain why he did a decent job the last time he played county cricket in England.

If this guy learns to have some patience, he will be a good player. Meanwhile, he did a good job last time he played in county and hopefully, he will continue the trend this time around as well.

Patience is the key to his success. Come one Afridi, you can do better than that…:k: Good luck next time…

Umair316 - I must admire the way you defend Afridi's Talent. Anyways I will just point some facts out about his performance in 2001 summer in England :-

In 2001, Based on First class Batting avgs , Afridi was not even in top 100 Batsmen

In 2001, Based on English List A Batting avgs, Afridi was not in top 100 batsmen

In 2001, National league - He was not in top 25
In 2001, c&g - He was 68th.

You may still call him King, but please dont force others. I think Afridi can be a much better batsman under the guidance of Miandad and we saw it in 1998 at Chennai(Madras) test where he scored the winning century.

Asif u can be right as ur talking about 2001 but if u go up and check out i think umair was talking about last year which was 2002 and he really played well and was named player of the month or whatever they have a couple of times....he is a great player and can hit any bowler in the world if he learns some patience and sticks around for couple of overs....yeh i also saw him beatin the hell outta indian bowlers in lahore that was a one day match but he just killed those bowlers....NO OFFENCE

No one is saying that he was the best in county league for the past season but he did a pretty decent job. He maintained good avgs of mid 30s and mid 40s in couple tournaments. And he won his team habdful of matches only failed in the final, some critics even thought that he was the reason why his team reached the finals last year.

assalamoalikum :jhanda:

sahabzada shahid khan afridi followed up his 1st innings total of 14 with 1 in his second innings for derbyshire.

here’s me sending him all the best of luck to get 2 the next time he bats.

And yes of course you will totally forget to mention he also took 2 wickets.

15 runs and two wickets. Really sizzling stuff. I just hope and pray he keeps this up because that will ensure that we have finally got rid of a tulley baaz from our team for good. Way to go Afridi, keep it up. :k:

Chalo kuch to kia bowling mein:k:…
