Pakistan v Australia in England, June-July 2010

[AkshayS]

I knew thism I knew that Pakistan would collapse.

WTF with North a 5-wicket haul, probably sealed his place in the team.

Finishes with 6, goddamnit, now he's gonna hang around :\ Good to see Smith get three!

Thank You Pakistan for not letting me down. You deserved this lose. Well played Pakistan.

Marcus North 6 wickets ftw!!!

Thank You So Much!!

Funny how the same people who tried to justify Afridi's first innings knock are having a go at him now. The guy has no game plan whatsoever.

And rightly so, it was a terrible shot. I really don't have much time from Shahid Afridi but there was nothing wrong with his first innings in this test match.

As for North's performance today, well if anything it puts Nathan Hauritz's performances during the summer into perspective.

LOL North gets a wicket first ball. Maybe he'll stay in the team for his bowling instead of his batting :sarcasm

I kinda called it

 

[Aussie Team]

Wow! What a spell from North. Really Amazing performance.

 

[Chewie]

Well, we are hearing news from the ground (not fully confirmed at the moment) that Shahid Afridi has just told Jim Maxwell on radio that the Headingley Test will be his last. We'll bring you more news as we get it.

Possible?

 

[Howsie]

Cut and run much?

So very typical of Pakistan cricket though.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

That shows that even he does not like himself in the test squad.

Wisden; cricket's Gideons.

 

[Chewie]

But we needed more runs in the first innings. We needed to support Salman Butt more. We didn't get the big partnerships.

I wonder why :sarcasm

 

[ajdude]

Apparently he's nominated Butt as his successor, which should have been the case in the first place IMO.

 

[angryangy]

It's easy to crucify Afridi, but almost all of them played with the same uncommitted attitude towards the spinners. It's not something new that he has brought to the team.

 

[Themer]

Hilarious.

He's exploded after one test.

:laugh

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

So typical Afridi retiring
