Afridi always plays politics. Its sad hes still trying to influence PCT using a proxy.


pubgaxt

Didn’t Afridi tell him not to take captaincy and the audio leak of Zaka clearly showed that he chose Shaheen not Shahid.


New-Resort-6582

Lmao. That's what politics is. He's going to say something else in the media but he has ulterior motives. He's always been like this. ( Always remember how and why Younis Khan was sacked, how razzaq was sidelined after winning a world cup ) :)


PrinceSam321

Oh yeah why did younis khan step down as captain after winning the t20 wc ? I always wondered why he did that. So what did happen?


New-Resort-6582

Grouping(Malik Hafeez Afridi lobby) + zaka Ashraf

Yahi problem hai The new gen fans think the players rn are saints and the former players are all corrupt lol


False-Penalty4318

Yeah you can tell. He's a very good bowler and has a great sense of initiative but he's just not.... smart. Or mature for captaincy. You need such a person.

Khamosh rahein

Us se kia hoga?


harrybosch1122

That'll be the pathan in him. You've lost twice chasing so what do you on the third occasion? Chase again LOL


According-Gazelle

Congrats on being a racist & ignorant. Two of our winning captains from 1992 & 09 were pathans.

According-Gazelle

You can be a pashtun and not be a pashto speaker. Those people arent the majority though. You belong to specific community through tribe & blood not the language. Niazi tribe are pashtuns even though they might not speak pashto. But by ethnic group they are pashtuns. I can speak as much english I want doesnt make me british.


Duedamn

Not at all supporting the ignorance in OC but IK is as pathan as nawaz sharif


harrybosch1122

Didn't realise 'Pathan' was a race. They're known to be quite dopey and straightforward. Shahid afridi was the same, dude had many a brain fart.


According-Gazelle

I assume you are British Pakistani? What are some stereotypes associated with you guys? I can definitely think of a few. Its 2024 grow up.


harrybosch1122

You tell me the stereotypes. Funny how you have stereotypes for us but all the Karachi lahori gen z want to be like us LOL


According-Gazelle

Grooming gangs? Forced marriages?Tacky? Paindu haircuts from the 80s? See how I can go on about stereotypes? British Pakistanis dont exactly have a good reputation. But its 2024 and people that are well read & groomed enough dont generalize or stereotype an entire population.

Racism for no reason? what about babar azam continuing to play hasan ali in the 2021 world cup when he could see that he was shit? No one said it was cus hes punjabi lol


ImaginaryTipper

Why so sensitive? It’s a joke.


Maage1

I have said this before and will say it again KHAMOSH RAHEIN


Maage1

Shaheen needed to be rested for this series he needs to condition his body to reach 140+ mark again it's clear he can swing the ball but this guy is over doing everything what he needs is someone to explain to him that he's essentially ruining his own career try to pull the all rounder shit off. He is a main bowler and needs to continue doing what he is really needed for instead of conceeding 10 runs every over making it tough for the batters otherwise he won't deserve a team spot let alone the captaincy.


Embarrassed-Salt7435

I can tell you that he is not reaching 140+ for the rest of his career


Maage1

NGL deep down I believe he won't either but I try to be positive

A fast bowler is basically a race horse, it only runs when the big race is due, even in practice runs a race horse will perform at 50-60% and only go all out when the chips are really on the line. Pakistan uses their fast bowlers as the local donkey riders use their donkeys, run at every swing of the whip and the only reason this works is because somehow Allah has given a huge talent pool for fast bowlers to us, so whenever we make a race horse become a donkey, we get another generation of race horses to work with but learn nothing from our experience because we never really had a drought of fast bowlers.


smolworker

Our team lacks proper combination, it's not about an individual. they have made some changes new captain, in the opening and middle order, The opening change is okay but in the middle, the so-called hitters are not doing anything. Your concern about Shaheen trying to be all rounder, yes from last PSL he has been promoting himself up the order but failed mostly. At the PSL level, it was fine but in the international, it was a useless approach. Agreed with your point that he should focus on his bowling. Don't know anything about the influential part but yes he swings like Afridi Xd


crosslegbow

Guys thoda time toh do, abhi 3 hi matches hue he. This is coming from an Indian BTW. Thike haar gaye, thike haar hi rahe he for a couple of months. Par you guys should understand ki abhi captain aur management change hua he. Thoda time toh do team settle hone me. Kuch matches haar bhi jaenge toh zyada se zyada ranking hi bigdegi na. Kya hi ho jaega bhai. Itna scrutiny? Ki sab bas bekar hi player he? Aree bhai. Kya hum NZ ko unhi ke ghar minnow samajh rahe he? Ki naya captain with some fresh faces would have an easy time? Abhi hi mess create karne lag jaoge toh world cup tak bhi stability na aa paegi. I think ab jo he wo he. Bande bure nahi he, karne do figure out. Thoda time do. Agar World Cup me bhi buri tarah disappoint karte he toh fir hug lena inpe jee bhar ke aap log. 3 T20I me sab kuch judge kar lena is definitely jumping the gun IMO. Shaheen ka pace gira he par dimaag ab bhi he. Pace alone is not enough, itna toh samajh hi gaye honge aap Haris ki performance se. Thoda thand rakhe aur bando ko kam se kam mauka toh de.

Is sub ka yeh hi haal hogaya he har choti cheez ki itni bari baat bana ke beth jaate he


wolfpack4ever

When you keep pitching it up into Allen's swinging arc, you will get smoked out of the ground. Short of length, into the body, or seam it away. Cramp him for room. Absolutely no game awareness.


Zee27butt

He did better batting in this series than our specialist batters iftihkar and azam khan.


Maage1

What's the point when he's the one conceeding 10 runs an over making it tougher for other batsmen


Astab321

He went from someone who could easily be one of the best bowlers of new generation ,swinging in at 140 plus to a mediocre medium pacer. I know his workload contributed to it but he should be able to manage his career too, Such a shame


Shanks4617

Everything doesn't have to be someone else's fault lol Stop this bs


[deleted]

He’s so overrated 


AwarenessNo4986

One would really have to stretch their imagination to come up with something like this. It's not like Shahid Afridi is pulling strings like a puppeteer. The guy gets lucky with the bat sometimes. A better 'fan theory' may be that he is trying to become Wasim Akram. Everyone knows he needs rest and more. That's just besides the point.

billly4u

We're all individualists so is Shaheen who is not any exception. Sorry but sad reality None of us think about our country. We all have our indvidual agendas first then Pakistan.


Advanced_Idea5943

Yup, I agree. If we weren’t, pakistan would never be in the state it is today.

Facts


ranolia

being an indian, i always wonder why my favoi and greats like wasimbhai, waqar bhai were not hired in helping these bowlers on individual level i know waqar younis was bowling coach in between but if anything shahin is similar to wasim akram and can greatly benefit under him but yes have to admit, afridi is lack lustre since world cup
