From a senior player, you really have to wonder don't you

Captains innnings??

Captains innnings??

Tried to hit the cover of the first ball he faced.
Couple of runs off an outside edge 2nd ball.
Play and miss 3rd ball
4th ball tried to hit it out the ground.

Now if one of his team-mates gets out to a shot like he played, he can't go having a go at them

Shahid Afridi has announced that he will reitre (AGAIN) from Test cricket after the seond test against Australia.

I was not very keen to play Test cricket but the board ask me to see how I felt," Afridi told Sky Sports. "My temperment is not good enough to Test cricket and we need a proper batsman or a proper bowler.

[Pidge]

north out for 20

North 6/55

Still think he should be on his bike?

[mal]

We have a batsman who scores 100s batting at 6
And takes 6 wickets in an innings
Well done to Marcus North, hail the new allrounder
I got a feeling these wickets will boost his batting

Must congratulate the PA skipper for winning the toss and fielding
Last innings of the match NORTH + SMITH take 8 wickets
KANIERA a far superior bowler must be really really shitty

With Kaniera in this team, it is a luxury having Afridi in the team
Afridi is a star limited overs cricketer, but Tests are not his forte

Whos going to captain the PA side next ?
With all the CRAP the skippers cop will it be BUTT or FAHART

Salman Butt is the only choice.

Or they pull Younis or Yousuf out of the mothballs.
