While I saw Afridi bat last night...I recalled Sachin's innings at Chennai against Pakistan...only difference was that Pakistan bowling was far superior than current SL bowling. But, cannot take credit away from Afridi!!! Hats off to Malinga too...brilliant bowling..wish India gets one like Malinga.

But one must appreciate that Afridi played a blinder of a innings that was superb to watch. When he gets going he really can get going. Mohd Amar is also a fine talent, needs to have more muscles to be fit for today's demanding cricket schedule. Their batting is somehow not as good as the ones they had in the 1970s or 1980s or 1990s, those were real good ones.

What a sight it was to watch the fattest thrown bowler Shoaib Ahktar huffing and puffing in a long run up. The guy still chucks and chucks well.

Malinga is not a throw bowler, only thing is that he has a sling action, Notice the wrist, it should not bend when the ball is delivered. If it is bent as Shoaib does, it is a throw.
I wanted Pakistan to win today not because i like their team but only for the fact that i'm hell bored with India vs Srilanka ties for the last two years..Again India vs Srilanka in finals will be a big disappointment.

So what.. India is one of the 4 teams and we love to see it.. We dont care abt soccer where someone plays and someone wins..
its good to see S.akhter to bowl, its really a treat to wathing him Bowl, although he is neighbor, but still i love his bowling and over all personality.
i wish india too have bowler like shoib, but unfortunately we have praveen kumar and Nehra, type bowler.

for that 1 over.. yes we have forgotten.. have you forgotten how akhtar bowled sachin and dravid in the kolkata test. do not get me wrong but plz dont bring nationality into this. Akhtar, when in full flow, is a treat to watch and you can't deny it.
Re: Re: Re: The Tiger is Back
by Raju on Jun 15, 2010 11:51 PM
Yes, I can deny it. Who are you tell me what I can or cannot do ? Akhtar is a chucker and a drug user. That's enough for me not to consider him a good bowler.

ok then, you can watch dindas and vinay kumars bowling at military medium pace and get excited..
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The Tiger is Back
by GLADIATOR on Jun 16, 2010 10:48 AM
Charlie from Porkistan, be clear that your Shoaib Akhtar is a known chucker who chucks out and out. He will not be able to reproduce the same so called pace with a normal action. Look at the present case, he runs with a long run up when he hardly has the pace.

he he he....! I always used to wonder.. what is this 'Military' medium? anyone knows how it originated and what is the meaning?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The Tiger is Back
by Sameer Bhagwat on Jun 16, 2010 02:57 AM
Military people are taught to be disciplined. Hence disciplined bowling is called Military medium.
