Afridi threatens to retire from retirement.
By our retarded correspondent
Karachi: As the cricket and rifle shooting world reels from the earth shattering news of Shahid Afridis retirement from Test Cricket, the TSN has been informed by informed sources close to the Mauripur bus depot, that the temperamental genius is about to make another startling announcement.
Speaking on the condition of absolute anonymity, Raz Khan, a bus driver at the depot has revealed that the all rounder is now fed up with being retired from Test cricket and is about to retire from his retirement to do other interesting things.
When contacted personally, Afridi admitted that he was bored of being bored and wanted to do something interesting. He listed such light hobbies as kite flying with mini grenades attached to the frame, walking on hot coals, Irfan Pathan stalking and jumping off flying airplanes without a parachute as some activities which interested him.
When reminded of some other daring hobbies that he could take up, Afridi immediately went into defensive and insisted that since he had a young family and he had just crossed 19, he would not indulge in hazardous and risky sports. On further insistence, he named such hazardous activities as X29 Dorajee Colony bus riding while hanging off the bonnet, bungee jumping and Test cricket as things that really scared him.
Our PCB correspondent adds:
As PCB staff busied themselves with odd chores here and there at the Gaddafi stadium, news that Wasim Bari had been released on unconditional bail from the Mayo Metal issues Clinic was met with subdued cheers due to worries regarding Afridis next move.
A spokesman for the PCB, Chaudary MonseeUddin Khan admitted openly that Baris condition described as “acute selectorial disease” had no cure known to man and thus the doctors had sent him back at home where it was hoped that a traditional herbal treatment known as EagleChappalPhainty could be used to good effect by a local pehalwan [translation: Mud Wrestler].
However, Monseeuddin was of the opinion that Afridis retirement may well be a catalyst for Baris improvement and to prove that, it was announced that the world famous motivator and the cool ex Cricket star , Aamir Sohail, had been chosen to reason with Afridi – the meeting between these 2 paragons of level headed thought was due to take place at the local boxing ring – local ambulance services are on standby .
