Both Laxman & Afridi are worthless players. The only difference is Laxman manages to perform when his place in the side is in danger whereas Afridi manages to fail everytime knowing his place is secured all the time.Afridi may be considered as a bowler but as far as batting is concerned, he is such a waste!!

Shahih Afridi is not teken seriously even by his own Pakistan team. Thats why he is always on the fringes. A trouble-maker. Why should we bother with his opinions.
Wrong to point blame on Laxman!! Its just that team never clicked then. As for afridi - he is an irritant and nuisance for any team. Rather not have him in any IPL team!

Afridi might be a good bowler. But his so-called hrad-hitting stands thoroughly exposed by any bowler now. And he is nothing but a nuisance to any team that he is a part of.

Afridi though is a good bowler. I admire his bowling skills. But he is a guy with an ATTITUDE and ARROGANCE! Has a great record for showing disrespect to fellow team players. So I hate him! I would rather not have him in my team!

Afridi got into the DC team - due to Laxman picked him and put it to Ram Reddy. Afridi - you better realise that!

its doesn't matter you hate him or you love him. Who are you to hate ? He is the best world class allrounder .His current ICC ranking is 3rd in ALLROUNDER'S list.

Laxman doesn't deserve to play in any form of cricket except test match. Look at his body language. In one of the T20 Match he was runout but the manner in which he was getting back to his crease was shocking. It seems he is lazy. And no need to listen to wat Afridi says. Afridi could have been a great legend but he himself is responsible for where he languishes now.
These pakistani players are jealous of indian cricket. That is the reason for trying create a divide in the team make it similiar to pakistan cricket. Hope their evil designs won't succeed.

Stop that.........why we always take negative when some one is so nice to you….Afridi said Laxman is not fit for 2020 format but he is great in Test, which is universal truth…. If you see Laxman’s performance in IPL 1 & 2 he made 3 madin overs in IPL 1 and 2 in IPL2, because of low scoring ration with balls DC lost some matchs in IPL 1 (scores like 14 balls 4 runs, 18 balls 6 runs)….Afridi is true from his heart and faithful to his team DC, lets praise him rather show disrespect

Afridi is the biggest cheat..he always uses negative tactics ...I still rem him tampering wid the pitch in Pak against Eng once..he is the biggesst loooser.
Following players should be captains of each team RCB- Kumble DC-Gilchrist KKR-Ganguly DD-Gambhir CSK-Dhoni MI-Sachin KXIP-Yuvraj RR-Warne It will be interesting if gambhir takes over captaincy from Sehwag. Viru is completely out of form and he has to show respect to bowlers
Re: Captains
by chakravarty devulapalli on May 27, 2009 08:15 AM
Ganguly for KKR : big joke! He should not even be in the team! I would even prefer Laxmi Shukla or retain Brendan McCullum. KXIP - Yuvraj is a jackazzz. He doesnt even know what to do except bite his nails! Mahela/Sangakarra should be the captain. Daredevils - Gambhir/Sehwag not captaincy material again. AB should be made the captain. MI - Sachin had his time. time for a new captain. Could be a young guy like Abhisek Nayar or Jayasuriya.
Re: Re: Captains
by Nagesh on May 27, 2009 10:05 AM
Is Jayasuriya still young to be named as a captain? Why not Bravo or Nayar? They can even name Duminy... how abou Zaheer?
Re: Captains
by sam on May 27, 2009 10:21 AM
MI captian should be young Abhishek Nayar. he is aggressive player and can enthuse his team with his leadership skills and individual brilliance. sachin has made many tactical blunders in this IPL.

dont b so rude coz he represents Pak, as a sports person he is really a good alrounder splly for T20 format
Re: Re: Re: deccan won bcoz afridi wasnt there in the team.

recent 20-20 against Oz was won coz of his brilliance in bowling

What about his performance in IPl-2008. he was a bigger failure than Lakshman

Vinay, can did you see his career scores, he is holding world record for fastest 50 and 100. I think is the won most matchs single handed in the world (by both bowling and batting)...he is not in touch with bat now but did you see his bowling recently, he has taken ???
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: deccan won bcoz afridi wasnt there in the tea
by Manish on May 27, 2009 02:26 AM
Yes, I agree. Dont call him an all rounder. Consider him only a bowler. he is an utterly useless batsman.
Re: Re: deccan won bcoz afridi wasnt there in the team.
by Indian Fan on May 27, 2009 04:48 AM
I agree with you but he has become more of a bowler these days and less of an all rounder

Afridi coud have been handy for Chargers given the fact that they don't have depth in batting and bowling beyond 2 guys each. If they fire, then they will win else they will lose. Afridi can effectively use his spin bowling and his blind hitting. But we cannot guarantee that it will work always.
