What would you do if you were Aamir?

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

i don't know how Aamir picks himself up and still bowls with a full heart? I know if i was part of this team and was bowling like Aamir I would have hard time picking myself after continuously watching such pathetic batting...

Wasim didn't have to go through this...do you think this will effect Aamir? do you think this will derail his improvement process? are we going to lose the greatest bowling prospect of this decade because of our crap attitude to batting

[Boi]

Go back to the farm in Gujar Khan and keep some rozay. Atleast he'd get some reward for it.

[PakFan2010]

i would live in england for 5 years and then play for England.

Good catchers, Good Wage, Good Support, and GOOD BATTING

i like that idea...no point playing for a bunch of losers who can careless of what happens to the game..more concerned with their central contracts

[cricmylife]

You guys should be ashamed of urselves
He should stay here... Atleast we'll have someone to write POSITIVE threads about...

[kingusama92]

Keep running in and doing your job.

He is playing for the country. He can keep bowling in the hope that our batsmen will one day support him and actually score some valuable runs.

If we lose Amir, it will be due to injuries not lack of heart [he's not that kind of guy].

Its just a matter of time till he has enough, he's work rate is awesome, he plays his heart out whether its bowling, batting or fielding, he single handedly handed the match in Pakistan's favour only to see if slip away bcoz of pathetic bowling from others and fielding, hardly gets any rest and he's in the middle, and now he's probably getting ready to be padded up again. He's young and there is only so much he can take, he needs a few games off. I cheered when he got out because he needs a rest!

And it would also satisfy his appetite for larkiyan while he's playing county cricket

[kuptaan]

Learn to bat so he can score all the runs himself aswell
Change bowling style to take all wicket bowled, LBW!!!

i am sure...i just feel sad for the guy...i know a little bit about playing with blokes who are just content wearing whites and getting to play 'cricket' no matter how awful they are and how much they contribute in losing matches

Well said.

[TigerJat]

we need to be careful, don't over bowl him.

It would be sad to lose such a talent due to overuse.

Fast bowlers are very fragile.

migrate to india & start playing for india :aamir

or marry a gori and play for england. Seriously he is way too talented and good to be part of pak team who will burn him out soon.

[Bobbins]

Get Broad and Trott out before a 350 run partnership.

I dont think he is a "traitor", he plays for his country not for Money!!

[Shaka81]

Check his family genealogy.... maybe he had an Aussie, English or South African great grandparent and he can play for them. Having people actually holding catches might be too big a shock for his system though :aamir

[Desire]

So all the guys who left pakistan to earn money and better life are traitors?? They are not and if amir does it he is a traitor.

[duostyle]

Of course he won't play for the English national side. They get most of their players from SA. Ha. There I said it.

But seriously, I think if he wants to follow the same path as Wasim, he needs to decide on a county team soon (I'm pretty sure he's getting some offers).

That way he can live in England, learn English, earn money, etc. in between tours and stuff.

[Atif]

Which players ? are you talking about the players who joined icl ? well they just wanted to play for money and not their country..

Anway i dont think Amir will ever leave to play for another country, its not going to happen...

[adzzy786]

He should improve his batting become a bastmen and will become an allrounder. Open the batting and bowling. There solution to everythin g

[PakistanPaindabad]

Be thanking Allah that Strauss enforced the follow on..

yea need to join county ASAP...winning might not be a bad thing for this lad...when Wasim started playing we actually were winning games <<--- i know that might be a surprise to some these days but Pakistan used to win most of the time back in the day...

no i am talking about common people. people on pakpassion. peoplw who brain drained pakistan. If i left pakistan then i dont have right to say amir is a traitor if he leaves pak team. TBH i am following pak cricket since childhood and i dont think anything good is gonna happen even in future. So why should amir waste his talent and life in a team which is doing its best to put his career down.

[Down2Earth]

right now if I was him, I'd want asif as captain and myself as vice captain. Bowling all day, we wouldnt accept any batting failures

Because hes there, he can make a differnce, SO YOUR SAYING ALL GOOD PLAYERS WE HAVE IN THE FUTURE SHOULD ABANDON SHIP AND GO SOME WHERE ELSE? HES HERE HE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE... BECAUS WE WILL GET ONE GOOD PALYER AT A TIME, AND IF ONE PLAYER COMES, HES GOOD TEAMS RUBBISH THEN WE NEVER GOING TO MAKE A SOLID 11 R WE?

This is exactly what i am saying.

[dirk diggler]

....arrange a fake marriage and then apply for british citizenship

[KingKhanWC]

Be proud of his performances so far and hold his head up high.

The youngest bowler to have his name on the board at Lords, is a huge achievment.

[PakistanPaindabad]

Originally Posted by dirk diggler ....arrange a fake marriage and then apply for british citizenship

If he is going to arrange a fake marriage, might as well marry an Australian

[Slickman]

Turn cricket into club football forget the nationalities... ! hope pakistan are brought by a billionaire and then we can buy all the best batsmen in the world, aka man city real madrid of cricket!

[DeadlyVenom]

you can be a great player even if ur team r rubbish. look at andy flower. so far amir has won the t20 world cup got to the semis of t20. semi of champions trophy and bet the aussies after 15 years. people of charcter don't bail out wen the going gets tough

[z2_daredevil]

try to attain australian citizenship !!!

[pakcricketfan]

If I was him, I'd vent out my anger by banging my head (or some of our batsmen's head) on the wall twice..then get back to normal, run in and keep doing my job

[Theo_14]

When Umar Akmal dropped the catch of strauss or cook yesterday Amir looked very frustated - and the way he reacted was a suprise because I've never seen him like that before which shows how loyal and respectfull he has been before, but now he is getting frustated and I don't blame him at all.

Amir could have easily taken more wickets then he has now ONLY if the catches were taken from the fielders.

[Pk-zindabaad]

Exactly

[Brilliant_Boyd]

If Aamer or any player packed his bags due to drop catches and what not I'd happily say good bye. Playing for your country should be a honour, if someone said to me you can bowl 45 overs a day for Pakistan for 5 days i wouldnt say no. Neither should he.

[Maula Jutt]

He is young and naive. Soon he'll be hardened by all the lousy performances and the backbiting/backstabbing that goes on in our cricket, take early retirement, form his own political party, and win a seat from Gujar Khan.

[cricket_fever]

i would go kill myself.....oops suicide is haraam

on a serious note, if i were him i would worry about giving my best for my country at all times as well as focus on keeping on breaking records

[Looney]

write a "rags to riches" book about myself and what goes on in the dressing room ( all that masala and politics !), have it published and make some money . with that money , buy a nice house for myself in , marry a gori and then start playing for England

and of course continue my post secondary education in England !

[Maula Jutt]

Well, on a serious note, he should keep giving his hundred percent and cross some personal milestones on the way. If the rest of the team supports him, great. If not, then nothing is stopping him from writing his own legacy. The boy has all the talent in the world to do just that. He should remain focused on it and play some good cricket for himself and his fans.

[Maula Jutt]

And he should play some quality county cricket as soon as he gets a little break from touring all over with Pakistan team.

All our great cricketers - Wasim, Waqar, Miandad, etc were very talented to begin with. But they became masters in their trade after they got some county cricket experience under their belts.

[Sultan Yusuf]

Some good ideas, but in all seriousness, how he has conducted himself so far is what differentiates great players from also-rans.

[vvsshekar]

Probably enrol for that accountancy course or what ever he was looking at.

[Desi_Joker]

Take money to fix the match! No greater motivation for money. Pakistan - tainted.

[Desi]

Spot fix apparently.

[PakFan2010]

Why ruin your ****ing career?

If you wanted money then just go play in ipl

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

sorry guys...i shouldn't have created this thread

nothing to feel sorry here...now we all know what Aamir has been doing...i feel a dumbas* creating this nonsense thread when our heroes are out there betting our emotions away

[Slickman]

wow within 12 hours or so went from thinking he's to good for this team and pakistan to now thinking he's a disgrace to the pakistan shirt. gutted wanted amir to be a star

[akamaka]

Originally Posted by UsmanhailsAfridi sorry guys...i shouldn't have created this thread nothing to feel sorry here...now we all know what Aamir has been doing...i feel a dumbas* creating this nonsense thread when our heroes are out there betting our emotions away

dont worry man, none of us knew, no one saw it coming.

[Radiance Of Australis]

From being a proud fan..I'm now a big hater of this guy.Who isnt,now?

[Hash]

I hate what he did, but for some reason...Amir is the only one of the cricketers involved who I feel bad and sorry for.

He had the world at his feet; got involved with the wrong crowd (Majeed brothers) and ends up throwing away his career. Many 18 year olds end up with the wrong crowd...it's what some 18 year olds just do, they are unlucky.

Nevertheless, if he is guilty, he must be banned for life. A very strong message has to be sent out to all youngsters in the country.

[Bobbins]

Not match fix and sell out your country, your fans.

Top post Hash.

I feel sorry for Aamer as well, but unfortunately we cannot defend his actions. What a career he could have had...what a waste.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

I posted this in other thread and feels like posting it again:

Good bye Amir, you've lost respect in front of everyone. From now on a word "CHEAT" will be associated with your name forever no matter how hard you try to clean it.
