So, after all the threatening to appoint a new captain and bypass Shahid Afridi for the role of the leader, the PCB, in the end, has gone ahead with Afridi after all. Interesting choice one must say!After all, here is a man, who has been accused of ball tampering and so blatantly that there would be a sense of shock amongst most Pakistani cricket fans.

And that is not all; he has also been involved in tampering with the pitch thinking that the cameras were not looking for him. As if these two transgressions were not big enough, he has once threatened to hit a spectator with his cricket bat in south africa and was subsequently banned for the same. After all these attributes exhibited by Afridi, to still make him the captain, shows, either the ineptitude of the pakistan board, or the lack of talent existing in the Pakistani ranks.

To top it all, immediately after getting selected, Afridi goes on to say, ?Wish I had shoaib malik and Naved ul Hasan Rana in my side? Haha! The PCB is sure going to have some fun soon!
 
What are you going to do? Afridi is still the best candidate, he has done well as captain nevertheless and at the end of the day forget the ball tampering for one second because almost everyone does it today and think about defending the T20 World Cup. Afridi is the best man for it, who you going to put as captain, Misbah Ul Crap, Salman Butt, Kamran Akmal. Afridi is the only one logical for the job because no one on our team (anymore) has the experience of international cricket like Afridi. Along with the fact that he has made a very big impact on the team because he is a natural leader even when he's not captain.
 
Afridi is aggressive, competitive, and most senior player in the team. He was always the obvious choice as captain. I only wish he does not resort to any cheating again :facepalm

:facepalm Can't accept that.

The rest of your post is good. There really isn't anyone else good to choose.
 
Afridi is really the only logical choice. Everyone else who has good international and captaincy experience have been banned by the PCB. This decision to appoint Afridi as captain is probably one of the few good things the PCB has done over recent times.
 
There's not really many other options.

I think he was the best choice.
 
Afridi is the best choice for Pakistan.
 
:facepalm Can't accept that.

Well think about it for one moment, Ball Tampering is the "Known" secret around cricket, we don't go around biting balls around lol but its not like it doesn't happen.
 
Afridi was the best choice for captain before the ball biting incident. This will allow youngsters to think that you can cheat yet still be captain of the team. If you look at short term its better, but not in the long term. PCB made long term decisions by banning Yousuf and Younis, and then they allow this to slip through. And now Afridi has actually appealed against the fine.....

The more I want to support Afridi the more reasons he give me not to.
 
Afridi was the best only choice for PCB. Do you think they would ever give the captaincy to Akmal or Nazir or Butt?
