Afridi: ready to eat his words.

[Lambu]

Hi guyz...just saw an Afridi interview on TV now and guess what he had to say when a journalist asked him if he would like to say something to Murali ahead of today's game...

Shahid:"Beware...watch it!" followed by that goofy leer of his.

Boy!! talk about embarrasing yourself...

[SameerM]

murali aint no magician.. so Afridi cud have a point

wheras most batsmen will defend murali for 5 overs before taking a single.. Afridi will go after him from 1st ball..
so we see who eats who when the game begins?

[Indiafan]

Well, the interview was in very friendly term, with both players praising each other and pulling each others leg at the same time. They had a similar interview between Smith and Murali on very friendly terms and then tried to twist their words with the ticker reading. Smith : Murali is ineffective. Murali : SA presence in the dressing room not gonna help things", kind of stuff

[HuZi]

what time will it start it he U.K?? i ive in the netherlands and the fiference between the time is 1 hour that's why I want to know the time in the UK

[161]

Quite ironically ..

Afridi is probably a better one day bowler at the moment ...

and Mumu a better batsmen.

[moumotta]

On sheer law of averages Afridi is due to get it right this time.

[Lambu]

haha...i wouldn't give Afridi a chance if his life depended on it...even if he does o anything its more likely to be a 1-time affair (fluke)..

[SameerM]

u cud say the win in aus was a fluke. since it was first time india had won test in aus??

alot of flukes in cricket hey?

that is a completely different context, than what was suggested in the opening post

No, we have done that before too

[SameerM]

so Afridi has blasted before.. so u cant say its a fluke can u

ps. Only 1 win in the series wasnt it? so its still 1st time.. therefore a fluke!!

[Indiafan]

Well, that whats actually happened.

Afridi said Murali is his favourite bowler and perhaps the greatest. He admires him a lot but will not keep from hitting out. He said that if its my day, just watch out.

Murali said Afridi is always agressive and good to watch. He said he respects Afridi as a batsman and it will be a good challenge. He also said that he wouldnt hold the ball in (i.e bowl flatter) and that in 20/20 with the batsmen going hard at the ball, its easier to get wickets.

The last but one was drawn 1-1 (4 match) if thats what you were asking with Aus barely saving the last test to hang onto a draw.

[SameerM]

India fan.. it was for Lambu... he says if u do something ONCE, its a fluke
so India winning 1 test out of a series = a fluke.. based on his measurements

Qurbaani season starts soon.. get ur lambs quick b4 afridi takes them all

[Lambu]

Originally Posted by SameerM India fan.. it was for Lambu... he says if u do something ONCE, its a fluke

not quite my friend...Afridi is waaay past his peak, he is just a mindless slogger whos pride is more important than the team's position(T20 final )..so whatever he does is nothing but fluke cos he is a slogger and sloggers don't have batting skills...hell i could replace him with a local blacksmith and expect the same results that he produces

what a horridly homicidally violent creation!!

[Shahid A]

get ready for a duck

[Sheikh]

Don't care if he performs or not. What does it matter?

From this comment, it shows that this guy just banks on a fluky innings Id love to see him bat using his head and not wait for his day to come.

I agree with you it's time we gave the poor goats a rest.

Ducks have it too easy. I've heard a rumour that the beast is opening a battery farm for ducks instead of chickens.

He's sick of ducks, he's declared war on them. Roast duck with duck egg curry for everyone.

thats more like it. ANTI JINX!

[TruSachFan]

giving afridi one more chance

P.S No choice

[gibster82]

who cares if he performs with the bat - he is primarily a bowler -

I think Afridi did his self a monumental disservice by making the fastest one day century in his first match - he came into the team as a bowler but was constantly pushed to be a real batsman - let him bowl in peace and lets just enjoy the 1 in 10 games heroics he produces.

[siddharth]

And the beast happily lived ever after ...

If i am not wrong, his career started as batman, as a opener, scored fast century in debut match or not. Then, he continued as batman and go on.

[Ghoshtbuster]

No. He was in the squad as a leg-spinner.

They saw he could hit the ball far, during net-sessions. The game against SL, Pak needed to win by a huge margin to get to the final - so he was sent in at number three - and blasted the fastest hundred in ODI

[Vegitto1]

So he was right. Today was his day then.

[DM]

Afridi ate something today, wasn't his words though!

The match was at the Nairobi gymkhana and it wasnt his debut match, I think it was his second ODI for Pakistan

He was a leg spinner who could bat a bit and converted into a batsman who bowled a bit. The biggest mistake made with his career.

[PlanetPakistan]

Afridi was selected as a leg spinner but he showed his hitting talent in the nets so the captain decided to send him up at # 3 as the pinch hitter.

[McBoom]

I think its time for someone to eat his post.

[jackal786]

20 runs is nothing in T20? lol There are guys scoring 158 runs.

[DM]

he came in with only 20 runs left!

Give him an opening slot, and see the world record innings created, never to be broken ever again

[asifp]

out of 4 scoring shots, 2 were mis hits going to the boundary as they are only 60m long , noting beastly about that.

[DM]

He massacred 20 off 6 at a SR of 333 without middling the ball.

That's not beastly, that's downright Genocidal Goat-Ogre. Asif do you understand what will happen when he does middle it?

Shahid Hiroshima Afridi

Thats a black chapter from History. Please do not make mockery of that painful incident with this stupidity of your.

[DM]

it's not a mockery of that incident!

By those standards then every time we use words (in hyperbole) like genocide or slaughter or even violent will be mockery!

[Easa]

Hey, Lambu watch those typos man, you made a serious one in your thread title

Afridi: ready to nonchalantly munch on the necessary bodily organs of infant-goats.

[12thMan]

Afrid had an apetizer today. Opposition team probably hoping that he was satisfied with their offering. Now lunch has to be planned properly

That is just enough to keep his fans going for another one year.

[jackal786]

Gony is a better batsman than Afridi

Probably not because he rarely ever does : )

See DM, I dont understand you mate..

Before a match begins you post so many beastly threads..

After the match ends and one in which Afridi actually FIRED, not a single thread

[moumotta]

Because failure triggers fantasies. Its like a child beating the bully boy in his dreams. More the failures more the threads.

The way Afridi slaughtered that duck waiting for him at the crease with 20 off 6 spells bad news for all ducks everywhere.

If Afridi continues on his rampage then this could mean the extinction of duck-kind

[Indiafan]

Afridi: ready to eat his words.................................... and anything else he can lay his claws on
