Boom Boom or "Too Phattu to play real cricket" Afridi

by Dhaanu

Asia Cup 2010 - Match 1 - Pakistan in deep shit chasing 240 odd. Captain Afridi comes out, plays his usual boom boom shots but more importantly mixes them with caution and sensible play. He almost wins the match singlehandedly but for cramps, fuckall running and nincompoop teammates.

Pak Vs Aus Test match 1 at Lords - Pakistan in deep shit chasing 250 odd to take the 1st innings lead. Captain Afridi comes out, plays his usual boom boom shots but more importantly (and frankly, pathetically) forgets the caution and sensible play he showed in the Asia Cup (and the World T20s). If he could play that way in a stupid ODI, why cannot he in the Tests. Does the sight of close in fielders make him pee in his pants? Or is it that he does not give a damn about Test cricket?

I refuse to respect Afridi. Anyone who does not respect Test cricket and prefers stupid T20s over it is not respectworthy and, dare I say, man enough.
