What are you really looking forward to/would like to see? Name specific things!

[DM]

Come on, what are you really looking forward to specifically?


A Shoaib Akhtar killer test match spell (now that Qadir has stated he'll play him)?

A 50 off 20 from Deccan's Shahid Afridi?

A classy Misbah test innings?

[itduzz]

Akhtar spell

[DM]

Im personally looking forward to a number of things:

1) The Oakmeat-Sweetmeal-EggOx-Mare doing anything, be it batting, bowling, fielding, giving an interview, being in an advert. I find him immensely entertaining in every single thing that he does. :afridi
2) Mohammad Talha being selected for the international team and bowling 150kph – this is a possibility as the PCB chief recently sung his praises.
3) The pregnant walrus steaming in again and surprising everyone by hitting 155kph again. :akhtar
4) I want to see an innings from Afridi the description of which, if one were to postulate it resulting in my immediate life ban, one would be correct.

[DM]

Akhtar spell
:))) :))) bro every time i see your name it cracks me up! You should have just posted a list of your final XI :)))


In fact I was waiting for you to do something similar in the Mumbai thread :)))

[Khabri420]

Akhtar spell

come on itduzz, post the pakistani squad...say that you wanna see the team play! Go on! :rao

[DM]

Also, I posted this in another thread a while back, but i guess it applies

I want broken stumps, stumps flying miles back, broken bones, bouncers, yorkers and beamers at 158.9kph, broken fingers, broken windows from a six, irretrievable balls outside the stadium, batsmen swinging with neutron force, injured fans because of sixes, fury between batsman and bowler, broken cheekbones, 84 off 27, SRs of 320, overs of 466646, ball entering in between the helmet and grill, blood on the grill, tooth on the wicket, bouncing tail enders, beaming them and they cant cope with it, ugly sledging leading to retaliation and so on.

Also, I've always really, really wanted to see this - I really want to see a batsman get so angry with a decision that gets him out that he swings his bat with maximum force at the stumps knocking all 3 out of the ground with a satisfying "badonk" noise and splinters of wood flying.

[kingusama92]

I have four things that I would like to see happen... each as impossible as they can be...

1) Shoaib Akhtar steaming in at Virender Sehwag and clean bowling him first ball (speed should be 155 kph+ for that ball) causing the wicket to shatter into tiny pieces.

2) Shahid Afridi hitting the fastest century against India and then beating that record again the next game with a double hundred not out.

3) one that's impossible now... Mohammad Yousuf playing one of his classic cover drives again and again against Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma

4) Mohammad Asif putting in a repeat performance of the Karachi test a few years back.

[Khabri420]

How about Rao bowling his deadly outswingers? :rao

Absolutely great list, I'd love to see those

[Poison]

I wish to see nothing but blue murder. Blue murder initiated by Shahid Afridi and ended by :iamlegend.
Also, I wish this violence to never end. Seriously, most looking forward to Pakistan playing cricket. Most likely in the 2020 WC, where Afridi will open age old wounds and Imran Nazir will apply salt.

I agree with the first two, but I'd rather see mind-numbingly deadly performances from both players. I want to see a Pakistan team that mercilessly destroys every team that comes in its path. No more tight one wicket wins, we want to strike fear into a team's hearts, destroy them by at least an innings in every single match, be it ODI/2020 or Tests.

[DM]

How about Rao bowling his deadly outswingers? :rao
I didn't include that in my list as I take it as a given. I don't think there's anyone in the world that doesn't want their eyelids to be caressed with warm palms, genial rustic banter and the aroma of a hearty stew maturing in a clay pot on the stove next door.

lol mine might have been impossible, your needs should be called "Mission Impossible"

but yes I agree with you, when that day comes this forum will be the happiest place of all :afridi

I forgot to add this.

I think the day is getting nearer that we'll see Imran Nazir back in the team. And I would love nothing more than to see him opening with Shahid Afridi in 20-20s.

I would also love to see the two opening for us in One Day International matches (ODIs).

And I expect and would love to see both of them open the batting innings for us in international Test-grade matches.


Why? Because I like incorrect violence. I enjoy it and if you think that's a disease then flood my veins with medication because it saturates my bones.

No friend, on that day, the United Nations will arrest Shahid Afridi for crimes involving cricket bats and Indian buttocks. :)))

[DM]

Just to add for accuracy's sake that he's already been arrested an estimated sixty times since 1 March 1980, though none of the arrests have been successful.

Most incorrect :))) But seriously, I distinctly feel the possibility of an all conquering Pakistan team emerging, with multiple mutilations of opposition sides a regular occurence. That is, if we do play cricket ever again. :iamlegend :iamlegend
Also, we require a new captain, one with an insatiable appetite for destruction, violence, and all things concerning goats. Preferably he will have silky hair, which he feels the need to caress every few seconds with a vicious twinkle in his eye.

















:afridi

[Matic]

Some specific things I'd like to see..

1) A punch for punch from two rival cricketers.
(Shoaib to Sachin, SIX! .. next ball .. Shoaib to Sachin, BOWLED!).

2) A bizarre case of misfielding where the ball is thrown at the stumps three times, all three times the ball has uprooted a stump while the batsman is safe and during the fourth run the ball is thrown at the stumpless bowlers end.. well.. it's too much to fathom about.

3) The leg umpire actually catching the ball.

[Sheikh]

I want to see a test match featuring Pakistan.

That may be too specific though...

lol that would be amazing... and the catch should be like that catch Collingwood took against Australia where he plucked it out of the air.

[Mythsmoke]

Want to see a test match being played on a super-fast pitch...batsmen getting hit...helmets getting damaged.....dont care even if its bangladesh vs. zimbabwe (or should i say new zealand) as long its phaaaaaaast pitch

[Easa]

DM-boar

I swear to god, each post was funnier than the one above it... you give me insane stitches bro, insane ones :))) :))) :)))

[infamous9383]

Imran Farhat's relentless attempt to cover drive a ball no matter how far outside the offstump it is.

[Easa]

Personally, I would love to see a lot of things in cricket (a game.)

I would love to see Pakistan play against the arch-rivals India, and in this game (held in the princely state of Pakistan) which would involve twenty-two players respectively from both sides, as well as well as two quite casually horizontally-challenged umpires with illegal body odor, I would love to see a typical goat-mammy of an innings, ending as marked in the scorecard violence runs of violence deliveries which can equate to 100 runs of 17 balls in cricketing analytical conversation.

[SameerM]

[The Blazer]

:))) :))) Too good!

Personally I would not like to see Sahibzada Mohammad anywhere near the vaguely general region of the blue and green tranquillity of the rock known as the Earth.

The end of life as we know it isn't something I look forward to. It wouldn't be the day the Earth stood still- It would be the day the Moon and Mars lifted their skirts and ran away screaming after seeing the Earth suffer from blunt force trauma.

[Easa]

Rao Iftikhar and Shoaib Akhtar opening the bowling for Pakistan.

I'm sorry, but what more do you want? At one end you would have a tubby man with womanesque locks lumbering in and still unleashing 150kph thunderbolts to morally itch the batsman, and on the other hand you have a man who runs in quite gingerly so as not to disturb the myriad variety of insects residing in the freshly sprinkled grass where cricket matches are held. What a monarch-like epitome of innate kindness. Him and Tubby.

I would also love to see Yousuf announcing that he wants to play for Pakistan and the selectors refusing to pick him. That would be unbelievably hilarious and would end in me rolling on the floor, with coughs of laughter emanating from my general throat-like-structure-of-a-region.

Oh, and someday, an international game organized which would only feature fast bowlers and big-hitting batsman. Requirements are a century at a 150s/r bare minimum, or a clocked speed of 92mph. Minimal. Try-outs would be held. Money would be up for grabs. They would go all out. Crimson.

[The Blazer]

I'm sorry, but you are not a bipedal primate. I do not know what you are.

BCCI to provide all green seaming wickets to Pakistan for the 2011 world cup and yet Pakistan still manage to win the 2011 world cup.

[On_the_up]

Pakistan play a test match. That will be utopia at the moment, such is the sad state of affairs for Pakistan at the moment.

[DM]

omg guys

"morally itch" "bipedal" "locks" etc and Mons quoting the sweetmeal :))) x100

some genuinely great posts so far!

and :))) x infinity at this new unnecessary elaboration in parenthesis phenomenon :)))

[DM]

Here's something I'd like to see:

Pakistan should develop a new venue to host matches in some island off the southern coast to ensure security (at least appease the foreign teams) if tensions rise again within the mainland.

Instead of all the tenterhooks of will they/wont they after a bomb, they can immediately switch it to the island.

Fans can take a ferry there and stay in numerous cheap accommodations. Hopefully fans staying over there will ensure decent crowds.

This may be a terrible idea.

[Khabri420]

DM,

Have you ever thought of applying for Pakistani citizenship?

[DM]

I haven't but I'd seriously consider Khyber Agency citizenship.

[Random Aussie]

I want to see the next gun Australian youngster come to save us from our precarious position atop the world rankings..

Usman Khawaja is the man for u.

[Amir]

A test match on the relaid surface at Perth. Steyn and morkel vs Lee and Johnson on that deck would be mouth watering.

UNFORTUNATELY, The curator said that strip will not be used.

[PlanetPakistan]

where are you from?

to answer the question
Shoaib AKhtar spell by a mile.

[Ghoshtbuster]

I want to see Shahid Afridi playing for Deccan Mujahideen against Mum...














<bant\>

[salman24]

1. Pakitan playing again with Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi, Yousuf, Saqlain Mushtaq and Abdul Razzaq in the same team which is unlikely to happen but a man can dream.....

These teams playing with minimal changes. Only changed if an injury happens or to give an outstanding youngster a chance in less important games e.g. Sohail Khan. I would use a rotation policy at times. These teams would be great.

ODI's
Afridi
Nazir/Jamshed/Butt/Alam
YK
Moyo
Misbah
Malik
Razzaq
Akmal
Saqlain Mushtaq
Akhtar
Gul/Tanvir/Rana

T20
Afridi
Nazir
YK/Alam
Moyo
Misbah
Malik
Razzaq
Akmal
Saqlain Mushtaq
Akhtar
Gul/Tanvir/Rana

Tests
Afridi
Butt/Nazir/Alam/Jamshed
YK
Moyo
Misbah
Malik/Alam/Kaneria (depending on what we need)
Razzaq
Akmal
Saqlain Mushtaq
Akhtar
Gul/Tanvir/Rana/Asif

[waqar_ahmad]

I am just a die hard fan of extreme pace. So I wana see akhtar and co. dismantling batsmen with searing pace. Stumps being broken, stump camers being rendered useless, inswinging yorkers ...ahhh...miss them so much

[india_fan]

Except 3rd one, nothing is going to be true :)))

You mean Raz's Island where Sahibzada Mohammed trains by chiselling his chest with diamond encrusted boulders? :))) :)))

I'll make a raft and get there pronto.

[Khabri420]

I would like to see a boxing match between Yousuf Raza Gilani and Manmohan Singh...

[Saqs]

One of the funniest threads in a while lol

Wouldn't mind seeing Anwar Ali opening the bowling with Shoaib, followed by Gul and Asif

Also wouldn't mind seeing some decent spinner (Abdul Qadir's sons perhaps) coming through the ranks and bamboozling batsmen like Mendis

Also wouldn't mind seeing Mendis somehow admit to his Pakistani heritage, so the PCB can select him for our national team.

[McBoom]

3) The pregnant walrus steaming in again and surprising everyone by hitting 155kph again. :akhtar:))) :)))

DM your bizarre and apt description of Shoaib "the pregnant walrus" Akhtar has had me burst into random fits of laughter all day in my lab and leaving many wondering about my mental health. :akhtar

A 2000 run partnership between Afridi and Imran Nazir off roughly 74 deliveries.

india making a score of 500 in a 50-over odi

Harbhajan and Symmonds sharing Nobel peace prize :D

I would like India's batting line-up to look like this in 3-4 years time..

Sehwag
Gambhir
Murali Vijay( if not Cheteshwar Pujara )
Rohit
Raina
Yuvraj
Dhoni

I really hope that happens.
