http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 cannot take Pakistan cricket out of its Quagmire
Former cricketer turned Politician Imran http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 said that he is not sure if Afridi will be able to pull the team through the shambles they find themselves in; however, he did say that if there is anyone who is able to do something
extraordinary for the team, it is the swashbuckling batsman Shahid Afridi. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-c64193 said that the cricket team had to go through a lot due to the spot fixing controversy, but he said that Afridi might be the right person to lead the team in the World Cup.
“I am not sure whether Afridi is the right person. Having said that I would like to add that if there's someone who can do it, it is Afridi. He is one player who can pull off something out of the ordinary. If he can hit a purple
patch, it does give Pakistan a chance. But then http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 are one of the most unpredictable sides in world cricket,” Imran told the media during a World Cup promotional event.
Nonetheless, Imran said that a lot depended on the decision of the ICC regarding the tainted trio, since the two fast bowlers alleged of spot fixing, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif were an excellent bowling pair for Pakistan.
“They (Aamer and Asif) are the best new-ball pair in the world. Aamer, I can tell you is more talented that what http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292 was at his age. I have seen Wasim as an 18 year old and can vouch that Aamer is far better than Wasim
at this age. But then some people get better and mature quickly, some take more time. Pakistan cricket is in crisis and so is the country. You have the president who is the chief patron of the cricket board. The less I talk about him, the better it is,” Khan
said.
Wasim Akram had said earlier that due to familiar conditions of the subcontinent, Pakistan cricket team had the potential to do quite well; however, he too tipped http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 as the favourites for the upcoming World Cup since they have
been performing consistently for some time now.
