Afridi All The Way Baby!



Ok, first of all, I don't hate Misbah, not anymore. Mohali was a bad experience but I eventually forgave him. I mean come on how could you not temporarily hate him for that?

Usually if you say you're an Afridi fan, people automatically assume you hate Misbah or vice versa.

Here's what I think. You see, Misbah is a dependable player, predictable too. We know how he plays, wastes quite a few overs but makes up for them later, slow and steady wins the race, eh?
But cricket is a game, we're supposed to enjoy it. Sure every one loves winning but at the end of the day, it's a game, a source of entertainment and if we sit there watching a boring match then what's the point? This is where Afridi comes in, boom boom, everyone's on their toes, no one knows what he has in store for us, could be a duck, could be a 100 in 36 balls, literally ANYTHING can happen!! Then he starts smashing the ball everywhere! Everyone's screaming their lungs out, people are cheering him on, every time the ball's in the air we have a mini heart-attack but it makes the distance and then he gets his 50, takes his helmet off and runs his hand through his hair, oh his hair!! What beauty! He starts batting again, destroying the bowlers, people going bonkers now! After an amazing knock he's caught but, faith in the game: restored!!

Then his bowling, dot balls, maiden overs, barely any runs given and when things aren't going right he looks around the ground while messing with his hair, analyzing the situation, then a wicket! How we've waited for \0/ Is there anything better?

Oh and when someone from the other team says/does something nasty, he just goes up to him like "you messing with me brah?" naah you don't mess with the Pathan, man. Apart from that he's all smiles, just don't provoke him.

If this doesn't make you love the guy then his humble message to everyone back home, thanking Allah & his appreciation for the team sure will in the presentation. Always so lively, you feel whatever he's feeling that's how awesome he is.

But then there are some who will think of me as just another fool. You guys can go on living your sad lives, Lala all the way baby!!

It's always about the team first and Afridi is literally the life of ours!
