Tribute to Afridi

[nadeem]

First message to Afridi:-

Rudi ko tu ker tung itna ke hur chakkay se pehle
Rudi tujh se khud poochay bataa teri ghizaa kya hai


And now:-
TRIBUTE TO AFRIDI

A 45 ball ton with nine sixes in no time
Each and every hit so crisp, so sublime

THe indian hearts sank with every swing of your bat
As every pak supporter made dua on the prayer mat


There will never be another afridi this much we do know
Our afridi makes veeru auntie look fugly, fat and slow

Flick of a wrist or a full blown swing of the willow
All resulted today in indian tears on the pillow

Please give us one more repeat of todays murderous scene
And we'll name you the afridi missile with ghauri and shaheen

[karachiite]

The afridi blaze left the indians in a daze

All resulted today in indian tears on the pillow

:D> :D>

[DM]

let's keep that going by adding an extra rhyming line to the last one, and when we run out of rhymes we start a new paragraph (stanza) in the poem....eg

[DM]

The afridi blaze left the indians in a daze

Which gave our win a glaze

[karachiite]

The greatest indian captain is now a has been

[karachiite]

The afridi blaze left the indians in a daze

Which gave our win a glaze
And left the indians hiding in the evening haze

[DM]

And now he cannot get in the team

[karachiite]

due to some men in green

[DM]

The afridi blaze left the indians in a daze

Which gave our win a glaze
And left the indians hiding in the evening haze
only thinking of eating a bowl of India's 6th staple - Maize

[DM]

due to some men in green
who show no mercy, whatever the scene

[karachiite]

Forcing the opposition to bow and lean

[DM]

and take false comfort from any consolation they can glean

[karachiite]

But there is very little comfort because the men in green, are so mean

[DM]

under Woolmer they've become a well-oiled machine

[Jahangir Khan]

Does anyone watch Howz That with PJ Mir and Asif Iqbal on ARY. After the 4th game, Asif Iqbal was saying that Shahid Afridi should be given the title "007" and he has the "Licence to Thrill". How right Asif was proven in the 5th game, when Afridi did indeed thrill everyone.

[karachiite]

under Woolmer they've become a well-oiled machine

his critics have run away from the scene

[DM]

with the exception of the odd drama queen


(and 'scene' has already been used :P)

[Oxy]

Subhanalllah...Subhanallah!

[Sheikh_Ji]

Nice stuff Nadeem

[Nawazb]

[AFRIDI 4]

Brilliant thread

[karachiite]

with the exception of the odd drama queen

who was told to go off and come back fit and lean

[Raz]

Very good, fitting tribute to the Master of Sixes!

[DM]

with the exception of the odd drama queen

who was told to go off and come back fit and lean
by keeping a diet only of rice and bean

[pakistani pride]

good one !

[karachiite]

by keeping a diet only of rice and bean

So he can really become the fastest there has ever been

Clutching at straws here

[DM]

lol Karachiite, new line? I'll begin:

"Shahid Afridi, Shahid Afridi,"
(just to keep it on-topic)

[karachiite]

Shahid Afridi, Shahid Afridi
very original i must say

Yaar tu nai to hadh kardi

[DM]

Shahid Afridi, Shahid Afridi
very original i must say

Yaar tu nai to hadh kardi
and since last year, has become a little beardy

(NB i dont understand any Urdu!)

[karachiite]

all the bowler's should be ready,
cuz he hits it further than freddie,
making the spectators giddy.

[DM]

When he middles the ball, it looks pretty

[karachiite]

he can make any bowler look s**tty

[DM]

and when he finds the edge it's a pity

[karachiite]

cuz then he gets abused with language that is filthy,

[DM]

hehe i'm outta steam tonight!

[AFRIDI 4]

this is a good thread, good to read

Afridi sets a new world record

Rajneesh Gupta | April 16, 2005 12:14 IST


Pakistan opener Shahid Afridi was at his attacking best as he took just 45 balls to reach his hundred in the fifth match of the six-match one-day international series in Kanpur on Friday. This is now the fastest hundred against India and the second joint fastest hundred in all one-day internationals.

West Indies batting ace Brian Lara had also scored a 45-ball century, against Bangladesh at Dhaka in 1999-00. The record for the fastest century also belongs to Afridi, when he had notched up a 37-ball hundred against Sri Lanka at Nairobi in 1996-97.

However the most significant aspect of Afridi's innings was the number of boundaries hit by him. During his stay at the wicket, Afridi hit 10 boundaries and nine sixes, which means 94 runs came in boundaries out of his innings of 102 -- which amounts to an incredible 92.15 percent of runs in boundaries.

A thorough research into the details of all the 756 hundreds scored so far in one-day internationals reveals the fact that Afridi's performance is the best-ever in ODIs in terms of the percentage of runs scored in boundaries.

Afridi also held the previous record, when he had made 88.24% of his runs in boundaries during his record breaking 102 against Sri Lanka at Nairobi in 1996-97.

Highest percentage of runs in boundaries in an innings [Min 100 runs]:

% Runs Out Of 4s 6s Batsman Against Venue Season
92.15 94 102 10 9 Shahid Afridi Ind Kanpur 2004/05
88.24 90 102 6 11 Shahid Afridi SL Nairobi 1996/97
82.09 110 134 11 11 ST Jayasuriya Pak Singapore 1995/96
82.05 96 117 18 4 BC Lara B'desh Dhaka 1999/00
82.00 82 100 19 1 V Sehwag NZ Colombo SSC 2001
78.43 80 102* 20 0 RS Kaluwitharana Eng Colombo SSC 2000/01
75.44 86 114* 17 3 Ijaz Ahmed SA Durban 1994/95

[DM]

Simply amazing. 92.2%!! He doesn't need to run. Forget the fitness training, eat all you want my boy!

[AFRIDI 6]

some wicked innings in that lost. actually just the top two
AFRIDI ZINDABAD

[Fessal]

Great Stuff and Lol at viru auntie. :)))

[MecnunK]

I have been critical of Afridi in the past (on the old PP) however he has acquited himself very well in India. Respect due although I still have my complaints aginst him but he is like mother nature, not much you can do or say.

Two memorable moments to be forever sketched in my mind. His blistering innings in teh ODI ofcourse and when he bowled out Ganguli in the 3rd test (was 3rd wanst it?).
