The board's demeanor and actions leave a lot to be desired - they should have practiced more discretion and proffered more respect to Afridi even if they had so-called valid reasons to appoint another captain over him. That being said, Afridi also needs to practice patience and not resign and conditionally-resign every time there's some opposition. I mean c'mon... this is pretty pathetic ala galli mohalla cricket... mujhe captain banaaow warna jaaow maiN nahi khelta! :D
I am so glad this "idot" and "brainless" person from Pakistan cricket team is gone. i hope and pray that NOBODY asks this idiot Shahid Afridi to come back. I sincerely believe that we are better without him.
actually kaakey maaaney, in this thread we are discussing Afridi, But if you have an opinion about how Misbah played for Pak in that T20 WC final, why dont you open a new dhaaga??
[mod]U better mind ur language dude...... No more personal attacks
^^ So he think that because he is not Punjabi or someone from Punjab do not want him to play, he is not going to Play... what about his 15+ years career??? what a pathetic thing to say, it was the same Punjabi board which made him captain, which ignored his brainless shorts, which despite his ball-biting kept him as a captain for ODI and T20 and then gave him captaincy of Test from which he ran away like a coward... now that same Punjabi group in the board is the reason he is resigning???
Saqlain Mushtaq was 100 time better bowler then him, guess what he was from Punjab and he also got thrown out of team and just for Afridi's knowledge he was never made captain...
Abdul Razzaq who is better all-rounder than Afridi, who have better potential than afridi, who if used in right position can deliver alot is from Punjab as well...
This guy have totally lost my respect and i must say i was right from day one, this guy shouldn't be representing Pakistan at any level.. he can now go and play IPL kind of tournaments...
Just for Afridi's knowledge, had we got a better board and management, one thing was for sure, there was no chance for Afridi to become Captain....or let me put it this way, he might have dropped from the team by now

Agreed, I have no time or sympathy for guys who play such cards to further their cause. This was the most pathetic statment he has made. But than he is not known for engaging his brain before he opens his mouth.
U mean this susar damad is been elected by Punjabi people to represen us in Cricket board???? dude you should know that Ijaz Butt was nominated by a Sindhi President... so by this logic, it is Sindhi who have build this conspiracy to throw a brainless player like Afridi out of Cricket....
