Shahid Afridi, not a match winner but a match looser

[Sporty1079]

I like his bowling.

This thread is crap without Dawood Ahmad's poetry.

If Afridi was selected as a batsman or even an all rounder, then he underwhelmes, but hes really selected as a bowler and bowls his 10 overs most games...in that role, he is a fantastic cricketer....his batting then can become the icing........and to be fair, i actually liked how he bit the cricket ball trying to get an advantage....it at least showed me he was trying to win.....from memory that came not long after the spot fixing situations.

Yeah, I completely agree with you.

Afridi does get loose from time to time.

(This song is only just tolerable when that girl on the other side of the dance floor with a ridiculous ass is inexplicably eyeing you up.)

If you hate Afridi, you hate sixes

And if you like him, you like cheating, sledging, violence, unlawfulness, severity, dancing, idiotness, carelessness, foulness ,etc.

Da ****???

Yeah, I completely agree with you.

Ditto.

How do the both of you feel about the time Mr Afridi thought a bomb scare in the stadium was the perfect opportunity to dig up the wicket whilst (he thought) no one was watching??

I guess at least it showed he was at least trying to win eh.........

 

[G.I.Joe]

Da ****???

He's probably paraphrasing those who condoned doping in the match fixing discussion.

wait what?

personally i feel that's fantastic.

Haters can gtf. Afridi's great.

Reckon his bowling's criminally under-rated tbh.

yup. he's the most annoying player in the world when he's hitting your team around the park (it's funny when it happens to someone else) but i love his bowling most of all. a brilliant bowling allrounder in ODIs.

Is cricketweb shutting down?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yes

2005 Test series v England. Gas tank explodes outside the stadium, everyone gets distracted as it might have been a bomb. Afridi clocks that no-one's looking and does a dance on a good length to rough the pitch up.

Except he didn't check properly, because KP and a couple of the other England players clocked it.

Yes

Official reason is not enough poetry submissions of late, IIRC.

Not to mention all of the television cameras.
