Afridi announces 'retirement' from Tests

[puddleduck]

And trust me, he won't suffer from burn-out, he's not as the crease for long enough .

What makes you think I meant it will be from his cricket If one of his daughters is anything like my sister was, then the poor chap has a long and gruelling few years ahead of him... I would put it alongside facing the Windies magical attack of the past on a sticky wicket without any protective equipment

 

[.::Stevo::.]

How old is he??

 

[puddleduck]

How old is he??

26... So in my post above this one, he may definately want that protective equipment

 

[anakwalajinn]

That "Indian" Post really made me laugh!
Well, too bad I was going to Headingly to watch him play..
He will also miss Asian Test Championship!! :crying

You must be a Pakistani fan in disguise, otherwsie why would you say such a thing?

Indians are not afraid of a fluky player like Afridi, we defeated Pakistan 4-1 in Pakistan recently and Afridi was not able to do a thing.Kumble and Bhajji are legends of world cricket while Afridi is still a bits and pieces player.

Afridi retired from test cricket coz he realised that he's not upto the task.I thing he should retire from ODI too and just consentrate on 20 cup, that format of cricket is ideal for his childish game.

Yea...You are sayin him to retire from ODI too so that Indians team dont hav to face many sixes....And bhajji iz a very stupid bowler...He didn't get a wicket in the whole test series...And in Abu Dhabi...We will see if Afridi is bits and pieces player.

26... So in my post above this one, he may definately want that protective equipment

He's retiring at 26? Is he injured? Or just up himself....

Mixed feelings.

As a fan of subcontinent cricket I feel sad . I will miss his 4s and 6s.crying:crying


As a fan of Indian cricket , I feel happy. No one will now hit Bhajji 4 6s in a row.:happy:happy:happy

As though he is going to do it everytime he steps out against Bhajji!!!

Didnt expect this from U!

 

[aliwaas]

He has said on his interview on GEO TV...That he will probably return to Test cricket after the World Cup!!!!!!!

r u serious this is true or u make us fool?

 

[Karachi Xpress]

it is true...No kidding..He said it on ARY DIGITAL tooo!!!!!

 

[icyman]

Yes,it is true that he has retired from Test cricket.
A shocking piece of news.
Though he has said that he'll consider the comeback option after the world cup.


Speaking to Cricinfo, Afridi played down the news: "It's not such a big decision. I want to concentrate on one form of cricket till the World Cup and that is ODIs. I will reconsider the decision to play Tests after the World Cup. As it is there aren't too many Tests till the World Cup so it isn't such a big deal." Pakistan are due to play at least nine Tests between now and next March.

So what if he got hit for sixes???????????????????

Once Razzak hit 5 consecutive 4 of an over by GrenMcGrath!!

McGrath is still a great legend while Razzak is not even a regular test player!!

Got the idea now?? Afridi is a walking cartoon, plz don't mix him with legends like Bhajji and Kumble.


thanks.

east or west shaid khan afrdi the best :happy :happy :happy

Yeah but he now has a good competitor in Bob Woolmer.

Earlier Afridi was the undisputed "belly dancer" and "pitch tamperer" king but now Bob is pushing him hard
