Series against England in Abu Dhabi will be challenge for us- Afridi

Karachi -ROUTERS, Pakistan master blaster Shahid Afridi said that Pakistan's series against England in upcoming next year in Abu Dhabi will be real test for Pakistan team.England is currently on 1 test ranking and Pakistan is on 6th place.S if we beat England or even draw with them we can say that we are going on a right path.He added further that he is looking for t20 world cup next year and wanted to again took part in Pakistan win another World Cup.

England announces its team for series against Pakistan to be held in UAE next year


England signalled on Friday that the plan to protect their world No1 Test status is exactly the same as the one that earned the title in the first place.

England have named Monty Panesar and Ravi Bopara in their 16-man squad for the three-Test series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.

Panesar was included as the second spinner ahead of Samit Patel, with Bopara the back-up batsman and Steven Davies the reserve wicketkeeper.

Eoin Morgan, Stuart Broad and Tim Bresnan have all returned to the squad after injuries.

Chris Tremlett and Steve Finn are also included in a five-man pool of seamers.

Left-arm spinner Panesar has not played Test cricket since the start of the 2009 Ashes series but has been included on the strength of a successful domestic season with Sussex in which he took 69 County Championship wickets at an average of 27.24.

Nottinghamshire's Patel was left out despite some promising all-round displays in the October one-day series in India, with Durham leg-spinner Scott Borthwick also overlooked.

Pace and bounce from one end, a bit of reverse swing thrown in and Graeme Swann for good measure is how England will approach their first ever Test series in the UAE next month.

The Test squad for the series against Pakistan, selected on Tuesday but announced this morning, is an Ashes reunion with Ravi Bopara for Paul Collingwood the only change from last winter’s sublime success in Australia.

Pakistan have adopted a policy of picking two spinners and the odd part-time twirler since making the UAE their adopted home but England no longer believe in the horses-for-courses culture that held them back in the 1980s and 1990s.

The team for the first Test is selected barring injury and perhaps the management’s greatest challenge is to find credible opponents for the two warm-up matches before the first Test. At the moment England do not know the nature or standard of their opposition.

Monty Panesar is back as the reserve spinner but it seems will play only if Swann is injured or ill. Picking two spinners would weaken the batting and Andy Flower and Andrew Strauss have been reluctant to do that ever since forming their leadership in early 2009.

England feel Scott Borthwick, the Durham leggie, needs more time with the A team and Samit Patel is not quite good enough at either discipline for Test cricket. Flower remains unconvinced about Patel’s fitness and, with this England management, there is little room for those who do not buy into the group ethos.

Bopara’s inclusion is another sign of the selection continuity that has characterised English cricket since the time of Duncan Fletcher and Nasser Hussain. Bopara deputised for Jonathan Trott against India and scored an unbeatean 44 in his last Test innings at the Oval. His ability to bowl a few overs of reverse swing is also handy for balancing the team if a first-choice batsman is injured.

Graham Onions has been placed on stand-by although that was not announced by England on Friday. Tim Bresnan is recovering from surgery on his bowling arm elbow and Chris Tremlett is now in South Africa at a training camp attempting to prove his fitness after a lengthy spell out with a back injury. Bresnan and Tremlett were the heroes of Melbourne and Sydney last winter but competition is strong among the seam bowlers, with Steven Finn’s excellent performances on the one-day tour to India in October making him a real contender for a return to the Test side.

Steven Davies is back as Matt Prior’s deputy, with England believing Jonny Bairstow needs more time to mature before being thrust into Test cricket.

Craig Kieswetter’s poor keeping in India and fears over his batting in Test cricket left Davies as the only real alternative even though he has not been involved with England since the end of the Australia tour.

Mohsin Khan might get long term contract as coach- Sources


by M. USAMA ABBASI
Karachi (humari news) Pakistan's coach Mohsin Khan is probably to get full time long term contract as a national team coach. Our sources from PCB indicated that its saying in the lobby that might be possible Dev Watmore who seems to be strong coach for Pakistan side can not handle team's player as player 'll not accept pressure and strictness from foreign coach.So after Afridi's statement about Mohsin's support at return to Karachi airport will definitely divert PCB to think about this issue.

Shahid Afridi | The Gladiator of Pakistan Cricket Team in 2011

INTRODUCTION TO THE TITLE:
After a successful interview from PCB media manager, Youth on Cricket's team is looking forward to share about the main player of each team who remained the key player for the team in 2011. A player who performed very well and won many matches for a team in 2011 will be give a title of "Gladiator". For this purpose, we took Pakistan as the 1st team and arranged a poll to decide about the player who is capable of this title from Pakistan, More than 75% votes went in favor of Shahid Afridi, so he is Youth on Cricket 1st Gladiator of cricket who belong to Pakistan.


SHAHID AFRIDI:
The word "Shahid Afridi" is very familiar to cricket fans belong to any cricket loving country. He is famous in cricket due to his hard hitting, only player in cricket who's strike rate is about 100 in 300+ ODI matches. For his hard hitting he is given different titles, amongst those titles one title that became his identity is "Boom Boom".

RECORD:
When it comes to records and Afridi, it's not a wonderful thing. Afridi is a type of player, who can make record at any port of the match. Although he made different records in all formats of cricket, but the one record which is still with him is century from 37 balls. Interestingly, this century came in his very 1st inning of his career. He was selected as bowler, but during the match his order was changed into one down and he made this unbelievable record in ODI cricket.

SHAHID AFRIDI IN 2011 BEFORE RETIREMENT:
Shahid Afridi had great year of 2011, he played some outstanding knocks with bat and ball. He also leaded as a captain, but was more successful with bowl and bat. Especially, during world cup 2011 when the team was struggling against other teams, he played a major role with ball and won those matches for his team. Especially his performance against Canada, when Pakistan all out on 184 against Canada, he was the person who lead the team from the front when it came to bowling. He took 5 wickets against the same team and win the match for Pakistan.

Shahid Afridi and Co had a great tournament of 2011, especially he was very appreciated in the group A match, when Pakistan bowled out Australia on 176 runs. In reply Pakistan chased the target after losing 6 wickets, no matter he didn't impress with bat and ball in that match but his captaincy ability was highlighted everywhere and from there Pakistan became the top contender for the champions title of 2011. Pakistan team journey was stopped when they lost against India in a crunchy semi final. Although Afridi said sorry to the nation but he was criticized highly and from there his argument start with coach Waqar Younis. Before leaving for WC Afridi promised the nation that he will take his team to the semi-final And he fullfilled his promise.

SHAHID AFRIDI CONDITIONAL RETIREMENT IN 2011:
Shahid Afridi announced his retirement due to his argument with former coach Waqar Younas on selection process, PCB also took notice on Afridi reaction on selection process and removed him from captaincy after West Indies tour. He was selected for Ireland tour as a common player given Misbah-ul-Haq captaincy but he didn't tour with the team and announced his conditional retirement from international cricket. His come back in international cricket was sentenced with the retirement of former PCB chairman "Ijaz Butt" and coach "Waqar Younas".

COME BACK IN INTERNATIONAL CRICKET:

Waqar Younas took his resigned from the post due to some unacceptable situation with the former PCB chairman, Ijaz Butt duration was also ended and his post was given to former banker "Chaudhry Zaka Ashraf ". In his very first statement, the PCB chairman showed his pleasure on Afridi come back and after meeting with Afridi, the former captain took back his resign from international cricket.



AFRIDI PERFORMANCE AFTER COMEBACK:
As Afridi returned to international cricket with some challenges he was given by former Pakistan cricket player and chairman Ijaz Butt, that if he is right then he should prove him self against Sri Lanka with bat and bowl. Afridi didn't give any comment through any interview but give the response to his hater with his performance against Sri Lanka, not only with bat but also with bowl. He started his comeback with man of the match inning, he took 3 wickets in very 1st ODI after his comeback and didn't bat.

Afridi was unstoppable in series against Sri Lanka, almost each and every match for his team in the ODI series. The one match Pakistan lost against Sri Lanka was the 3rd ODI in which he was looking good, and it seemed to be his day with a win. Unfortunately he got run out on the wrong call of Saeed Ajmal and direct hit of Dilshan. He was mind blowing in 4th ODI when the team was in huge trouble and lost major players before 100. He stayed like a wall and took the total to 200 runs with his outstanding 75 runs. Later on, he turned the match into Pakistan favor with bowl when the match was 90% in Sri Lanka favor. Following this he had also good performance in T20 and ODI against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.


FAN POWER:
In world, in every sport one have large number of follower with the performance they have, and when those player don't perform. The fans who love him start criticizing him but Afridi is the only player in sports history who made his fans with his one inning and that was his start. Also, he is the only player who became popular with his very first inning in cricket world. At a time when he had clashes with Pakistan cricket board his fan supported him on high level, and the fans who followed him were unstoppable.

HONEST PLAYER:
At the peak of spot fixing, when Mazhar Majeed mentioned the names of the players who involved in match fixing, he also received some appreciation from Mazhar Majeed that he is a type of player who will never do fixing. Not only this, but also when Afridi announced his retirement, he was offered by different countries in cricket to play for their teams but he respond them with one sentence; "I'll play only for Pakistan".

QUOTE ON AFRIDI:
- "Though Afridi couldn't win the world cup, for 30 days he made this country into a nation". - Ramiz Raja
- Cricket is not cricket without Shahid Afridi’, - Michael Holding.

SHAHID AFRIDI QUOTES:
- “I enjoy playing against India. It has always been good doing battle against India, it brings the best out of me.” Shahid Afridi
- "Action speak louder than words". Shahid Afridi

Sachin Tendulkar & Virender Sehwag is not first to Score 200


New Dehli (Routers) Indian openers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag are not only cricketers to score 200+ score. They should remember former Australian women's captain, Belinda Clark who scored 200+ 14 years ago in India in World Cup 1997.

Messages of congratulation are pouring in from around the world - and it is quite possible that one of those messages may come from former Australian women's captain, Belinda Clark. Because while Sehwag is the Second man to reach the magical number, Clark did it 14 years ago, against Denmark in the Women's World Cup in India in 1997.

Clark made 229 not out, batting for 181 minutes and scoring 22 boundaries, as Australia notched up 412 for three, before bowling Denmark out for 49.

Cricinfo describes Clark as a giant of the Australian game both on and off the field, where she combined the roles of player and captain with that of chief executive of Women's Cricket Australia.

She led by example, averaging over 50 in Tests and 40 in one-day internationals.

In 1997 she captained Australian to their fourth World Cup, but despite cracking 91 in the 2001 final, Australia lost to New Zealand by four runs.

Clark's revenge came in 2005 when she led Australia to another title in South Africa, where her side did not lose a game.

At Test level Clark was, if anything, even more prolific, and her best score of 136 was made against England at Worcester in 1998.

She holds Australia's record for Test and ODI runs and also for ODI appearances. She retired at the end of the 2005 Ashes series, but like her male counterparts, it was as part of a losing side.

Virender Sehwag 's 200 Controversial


INDORE: Flamboyant Indian batsman Virender Sehwag created history by becoming the highest scorer ever in a one-day innings and the second cricketer after teammate Sachin Tendulkar to score a double century in the fourth ODI against the West Indies. He scored 219 on 149 balls.
It is noted that both Indian Batsmen scored 200 in their homeland while all players like Saeed Anwar,
Charles Coventry, Viven Richard and Brian Lara scored 150+ on away country. Pakistan's Golden opener Saeed Anwar who ruled with highest 194 runs in ODI for a very long period of time, he scored his best and world's highest ODI runs against India.Which India should remember before highlighting Tendulkar's and Sehwag's 200+ scores in media with pride.

But the fact is that Tendulkar and Sehwag is not first to score 200. They both are only male cricketers to score 200+ but
former Australian women's captain, Belinda Clark who scored 200+ 14 years ago in Women's world cup 1997 in India. So we think that Tendulkar and Sehwag should consider Belinda Clark as their GURU.And they should be ashamed on scoring 200 on their home ground.

As famous proverb "In her own street, Cat belief herself as a Lion", if Pakistan's Shahid Afridi provided a chance in Karachi's "AZGHAR ALI SHAH STADIUM" & even against a strong team like Srilanka on a batting pitch, we can say that Afridi will definitely score 250+ on this pitch.
And we know that Afridi rocks always against big teams and big bowlers and on neutral or away venue.

Pakistan team's performance in 2011


By Usama Abbasi

2011 has definitely been a good year for Team Green.

Off the field, controversies continued to haunt them but on the field performance improved in all formats of the game.

Under the astute leadership of Misbah ul Haq, Pakistan hasn’t lost a single test series this year, in fact they have also been able to beat a team higher in the ICC ranking. Pakistan’s stellar performance has showed us an opener scoring a double century for the first time in over 19 years. Furthermore, Saeed Ajmal’s antics with the ball have granted him the title of the highest wicket taker in the format thus far.

The ODI’s also bear similar stats as the test series, but the picture is quite different in this format. Pakistan reached the semi-finals of the World Cup under the captaincy of Shahid Afridi, who was then unceremoniously removed following a row with the Chairman. He was replaced with Misbah, whose style of captaincy is quite opposite to that of Afridi, but the results continued to be favorable. Pakistan is now the leading ODI side of the year and has won more matches in this format, than any other team.

We have had quite a few good performances in the ODI’s this year with a lot of players chipping in with their weight, but some have gleamed brighter than the others. Bowlers have been the cornerstone and architects of many of the wins, as Saeed Ajmal rises to the No. 1 spot in the ICC Bowler’s Rankings and Afridi leads the pack of highest wicket takers in the format.
The new players brought into the team have performed marvelously as well. Aizaz Cheema and Junaid Khan have done their part by picking up a number of wickets and Azhar Ali has made a test match hundred.

The beginning of the last series of the year has been good for us with Pakistan beating Bangladesh in the lone T20 match as well as the three match ODI series. Hopefully, we will be able to clean sweep this series and end the year with a bang.

All this means that Pakistan is peaking just at the right time to take on the No. 1 test team in the world- England- early next year in the Middle East. If our players continue to perform as they are currently, I don’t see a reason why Pakistan cannot conquer the Englishmen in the coming year.

Pakistan is performing good against Bangladesh


Pakistan performed sensibly within the second one-day international against Bangladesh towards get 2-0 unbeatable command within the three-match series against Bangladesh. Thanks towards Pakistani attack whom bowled wonderfully and local Bangladesh towards 186 within the allotted 50 overs. For the second moment within two fits, Bangladesh's top-order batsmen folded hastily, this moment performing rash shots onto an easier pitch, and Pakistan knotted the three-match series 2-0 without being stretched. Spinners got sharp curve and sometime fast bowlers get uneven bounce from the wicket that saddened either side batsmen during the match. Pakistan bowlers made Bangal Tigers competition around the match and did not allow them towards score at their will. Bangladesh top order failed towards impress with their batting performance. Nasir Hossain (100) and Shakib Al Hassan (34), somehow, dared Pakistani attack, put onto 106 operates for the fifth wicket and rob their team gross towards respectability. Nasir Hussain scored former century of the one-day series but his effort went within vain as Tigers were go down battling via 76 runs. He was afterwards declared man of the match for his brilliantine batting. Bangladesh team’s strategy towards their innings was within contrast towards that of Pakistan, whom batted with deliberate warn and loyalty towards defeat morning wickets loss and construct a platform for a powerful total. The difference within how the teams fared within the former ten overs of their innings decided the match. Bangladesh's batsmen did not even initiate towards exam Pakistan, crumbling against Hafeez and Umar Gul. The fold began within the fourth again and went onto until the 10th, at the end of which Bangladesh were 19 for 4. Tamim Iqbal tore at an outside off stumps delivery that went straight towards Younus Khan within slips. Imrul Kayes chipped a momentum lightly towards cover; Shahriar Nafees powers possess inside-edged onto his pad but he had just existed a closer lbw shout; and Mushfiqur shoved away from his body and was caught at gully. Bowlers assisted Pakistan towards get unbeatable 2-0 command within the series. Gul was cream of the bowler with four wickets whilst Hafeez bagged two and Saeed Ajmal one wicket each. Pakistan, onto the else hand, consumed an old-school strategy and content towards construct slowly. Umar Akmal and Shahid Afridi, fired from the platform, constructed for them towards extend a sizeable total. Hafeez and Younus laid the bottoms with a partnership of 57 operates for the second wicket and otherwise began Pakistan's strongest partnership, between Misbahul Haq and Umar Akmal. The 50 partnership for the fourth wicket arrived off 54 balls and Akmal bred his half-century off 49. Shakib had been Bangladesh's greatest bowler and his alone wicket burst the risking partnership: Akmal skied the ball interior out towards long-off towards be caught for 59. Misbah collapsed prey towards the debutant Elias Sunny's maiden ODI wicket. At 197-5 within the 42nd again, Bangladesh had restored parity. Afridi beaten his second ball for six, again long-off, and was otherwise plunged onto eight via the Shafiul. He went onto towards pain Bangladesh, kicking the ball powerfully and charging between the wickets towards score 42 operates off 27 balls. That Bangladesh had towards follow many than 250 was their own mistake, for they conceded 22 operates within extras, 17 of them across wides. Bangladesh were not without a hero, although, for Nasir Hossain entertained the powerful crowd via scoring his maiden ODI century. Unfortunately for Hossain, he began his innings as soon as the toy was forgotten, and he did not possess partners whom powers aid him within allied purpose. Even Shakib, whom is habitually steely towards overcome whether he bats long, managed alone 34 off 90 balls. Pakistan shall possess towards do steely profession for future toys as Bangladesh shall necessarily towards earn spinners backing wickets towards victory any of the Test match towards register save-facing series win. The instructor, management and captain sit jointly towards earn blueprint for successful the Test series against Bangladesh towards boost the morale of the team and maintain the successful streak within future also.

Indo-Pak Express going with full speed


Known inside the tennis domain as the ‘Indo-Pak Express’, the combination of Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and Rohan Bopanna has made prime inroads into clap and accolades, both on top of and off the field. The “stop war turn on tennis” initiative that transmit desire flame within both twigs of the Indo-Pak divide was complemented via the United Nations Development Program towards appoint the duo as Goodwill Ambassadors inside November 2010. They also obtained Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of the Year Award 2010 – one that Aisam had won with Amir Hadad within 2002 as well – and the “Peace and Sport Image of the Year” respect among a lot else accolades for peace and their off-field influence.
Even though Aisam and Bopanna had teamed up inside 2007, the international dynamics career within such a distance that any statement of goodwill, many often than not, land towards the fore alone as soon as on-field achievements. Such was the example for the Indo-Pak duo within September 2010, when their earth-shattering function towards the final at Flushing Meadows approved them towards the forefront. Aisam coupled that operate with a final’s berth within the included doubles as well; and his speech at the honor distribution ceremony won again hearts as soon as making a mark as a doubles player.
Back within 2010, Aisam and Bopanna were relatively unknown commodities. They usurped the tennis scene owing towards the part of clandestine that many often than not took their critics via surprise. This was clearly visible within their operate towards the final within US Open 2010. Aisam is a conventional serve and volleyer, whom backs his serving with dexterous volleying – the many textbook doubles performer of the two. Bopanna, onto the else hand, has pulverising ground strokes and a beast of a serve. Bopanna is a able ad-court instrumentalist, with a mighty backhand and Aisam hogs the deuce court, since his backhand is his weaker relate whilst the forehand is an indubitable weapon. Together the two formed a daunting dissent, as their respective ability complemented each else seamlessly.
However, what genuinely impacted the duo’s overall play package was the fact that they translated their off-court experience into matters onto the court – something Brian Brothers possess showcased within an unparalleled method again the years. The two were greatest allies ahead of they were partners – and this is what they possess contended ago as well. And want true allies they would stand up for each else, cover each other’s frailties and when the else was having a bad day, his partner would put within many than his fair share of tenacity. Such distinctive camaraderie ensured that their jointly prowess was considerably many than the sum of the two individuals.
After the US Open, there first-round exits galore for the team from the subcontinent, and the spark and the collaboration was crucially missing. However, the two managed towards assemble their greatest within Paris and won their alone ATP thousand happening, which carried them into the spotlight within the doubles toy yet again. Nonetheless, losing everybody three of their lake fits within the World Tour Finals – owing a number of of it towards luck and a number of towards lethargy – the two possess decided towards portion entrances activity, ostensibly, of Olympics glory.
They were a deadly team, with novel partners they powers well competition towards match their exploits – something they powers hear the steely distance next year. 2012 being an Olympic year meant that there was always going towards be a limp within the packs of doubles partners round the globe. And when Bhupathi and Paes informed their fork – again – rumours linking Bopanna with one of them gathered momentum. Bopanna opting for Bhupathi – or the else distance round – was surprising, since both of them are ad-court players; however what was even many surprising was the distance Aisam and Bopanna halted their express. The initial word was that the fork is passing, with the London Olympics within mind; but the noise produced via both halves of the Indo-Pak express is marred via bitterness – even although the two attempt towards downplay that – and it appears that the express is being halted for good.
The decision towards portion passages has been robbed via Bopanna, whom extrovertly alleged within modern interviews that he did not possess a successful year with Aisam and was expecting affecting that with Bhupathi. Such a announcement within a month of their maiden ATP thousand title within Paris was not alone uncalled for, it also reflects a feeling of resentment onto Bopanna’s part. The two reached the ATP World Tour Finals for the very former moment, and ranging the year-ending finale connotes a successful year.
Aisam shall be partnered via Jean-Julien Rojer next year – a top twenty musician – and has cleared that he holds none grudges against his ‘good friend’ Bopanna. Bopanna should possess done the equivalent and appreciated his moment with Aisam even whether he needed towards dub it a day onto the partnership.
Nevertheless, consulting what unraveled within Beijing 2008, with Bopanna and Bhupathi having a torrid moment as a team, it powers be Bopanna whom misses Aisam being adjoining him rather than the else distance round.
