Akhtar and Asif in the news again

[Xuhaib]

If there was a soap opera/sitcom/reality TV program involving Pakistan's cricket team I'd be mightily tempted to watch it

Ratings to go through the roof.

Ratings to go through the roof.

Especially that one episode where Darrell Hair makes a special appearance.

Especially that one episode where Darrell Hair makes a special appearance.

That was the big international incident but my favourite is the underrated Imran Farhat incident.

For those who are not aware about it when Imran farhat was dropped from the Abu Dhabi series his Father-in-law Mohd Illyas a former test cricketer staged a hunger strike outside PCB head office in Lahore but when noone took notice him he called it off the same day citing Low-blood pressure.

 

[BhupinderSingh]

What's happened to Samiullah Khan Niazi? Has he disappeared off the face of the planet?

He had some serious injury but yesterday I read in the newspapers that he's fit now & would soon start playing domestic cricket again.

 

[Xuhaib]

According to an evening newspaper.

Afridi denied having called Shoaib's family anything, infact the topic of discussion between the two was 'gaining respect of the juniors'. Apparently Asif was in the bathroom at the time and agreed with Afridi. Shoaib got angry due to something Asif said, broke the bathroom door, pulled Asif out of the bathroom and smacked him with the bat

Wasim Akram rates Mohammad Aamer as the best left armer in Pakistan.

Hes the 16 year old currently playing for Pakistan U-19. Was hitting 86mph consistently against England U-19 in the ODIs.

Dont take Akram's word seriously, he once rated Pathan highly aswell.

 

[Nishant]

Dont take Akram's word seriously, he once rated Pathan highly aswell.

But Pathan was genuinely very good at that point...one of the best one day bowlers around TBH...even uve gotta admit that...he just lost his way last yr...plus he is very young and could soon be back with a bang!!!

 

[haroon510]

so people how much afridi is guilty here? that is what i wanted to know

 

[Nishant]

Damn! I just read the rest of this thread...i wasnt aware that Shoaib was in a press conference...he is a prat isnt he.....as for ur Q Haroon.....i wold say that Afridi provoked anger frm Shoaib and Asif probably wasnt successful in calming Shoaib down....but it still wouldnt make sense for him to smack the crap out of Asif....i bet Shoaib is just making excuses.....

 

[Xuhaib]

Only if he stops bowling at Kumble's pace, Pathan is a real one trick pony as soon as the ball looses shine he becomes cannon fodder to the batsman.

Yes, but he was promising, like Akram said. He bowled in the mid eighties when he came on the scene.

 

[Richard]

All the same, Dennis Lillee once called Mitchell Johnson the most promising 17-year-old ever too... and Rod Marsh Chris Read one of the best wicketkeeper-batsmen around... and any number of other things.

One person calling one other person something doesn't really mean that much TBH. Ex-cricketers are given to hyperbole about up-and-coming cricketers, it's a fact of life.

 

[gettingbetter]

Poor Geoff Lawson.

 

[Cricket_Fanatic]

Sent a girl to hospital with a cricket bat once. By accident.

Why didn't you send her there with an ambulance?

Going out with a bang.......

I thought he was in Kenya for the cricket, not the bedwear!

 

[Xuhaib]

Now this is funny.

Shoaib says Asif accidentally got in the way. Afridi says Shoaib went to the bathroom , tore the door off, dragged Asif out and beat the hell out of him...I wonder who's telling the truth

THE QUOTE

Akhtar : "I did it for the same reason as Zidane......"

http://thatscricket.oneindia.in/news/2007/09/08/akhtar-equates-spat-to-zidane-head-butt.html

TO RECOLLECT

Zidane : (when Materazzi tugged at Zidane's shirt) - "If you want my shirt that badly I'll give it to you at the end of the match".

Materazzi : "I'd prefer your whore of a sister", (using the Italian word "puttana", meaning whore or tart.)

THE CONCLUSION

So Watson, heres what may have happened

Akhtar (to Afridi ) : "...if you want my underwear that badly, I'll give it to you at the end of practice .."
Afridi (to Akhtar) : "I'd prefer your sisters "
Asif (to Afridi) : .." careful dude, i wouldnt want that, I have seen her, she looks exactly like him..."

Akhtar steps out and takes a wild swing....Afridi dives..... Asif jumps high, (but not high enough....) and gets hit on the leg .

Knowing those two, probably neither.

Mohammad Asifs statement in Urdu.

Looks like Shoaib is lying.
