Hahahah, lol specially to the Wahab Whatson meme

Pakistan batsman need a mentor who will sit with them and advice, the game is not about sixes or some fours first occupied your crease for sometime rotate the strike and when wickets in hand you can score 8-10 runs per over I don't know why Afridi is with the team what is his role no runs from bat not doing any great any bowling as well.

Nicely elaborated Mr. Nadeem

hahahahah!!! Sir you nailed it.

Woo! Thats funny.. Keep it up with your good work Nadeem F.P.

@Akram agree they know how to play but they don't know how strategically play. Instead hitting every ball out of the boundary singles and doubles can help them to retain there batting confidence. What coach is doing if he can't teach them that how to build game with singles and doubles or simply by rotating the strike.

LOL man. Your evil. Keep it up.

@Waqas Ahmed : really...........????? they know how to play???? you cannot be serious........if Pakistani team knows how to play serious international level cricket then all other teams are playing some other game. Just the ability to hold a bat or run with a ball in the hand is not cricket anyways.

As long as there's Afridi there's no hope. Pak team has only performed well under a captain whose performance has been good. Imran Khan, Wasim, Misbah all led from the front they set a exemplary tone on the field. As a nation we always needed someone to guide us and in whose footsteps we can just follow. That's why the role of a good captain is very significant for Team Pakistan. Afridi doesn't deserve to be in the squad anymore. Sports is about Adapt and respond. This man has taken 19 years FFS and still he is in shambles. There are lots of youngster dying to make a name for themselves and for the country bring them in. But no Afridi wont be dropped because he is bringing in lots of money in the form of Sponsors and PR. For God's sake save Pak Cricket it's more than just a sport for us.

Excellent Nadeem P. we out & exit from Asia cup & we see result in mirror from T20 world cup. we head shoulder hero = Zero, one over watson = lost w/cp 2015, Amir best bowling = exit in Asian cup wht next watch w/t20 result in mirror. Mr.Nadeem pls write some article on Selectors (haroon rashid),salem jaffer, kabir khan, azhar khan) waqar ynus how many ODI, T20 these selectors & coach played.

Top satire again, NFP. You encapsulate reality in a most entertaining and humorous manner.

DISAPPOINTING ............. They r not behaving or playing like an international cricketer. People playing on roads are far more better than them but problem is that who is going to pick them up ....... Afridi .... we do not want to see u more in cricket ...... very poor cricketing sense he has ..... totally nonsense after spending so many years in cricket. Its time to bring some real good players and train them irrespective we lose but we need to build our team again ..... I want to see Asad Shafiq, Fawad Alam, Khalid latif, Hammad Azam, Zulfiqar babar, Harris Sohail, and other good players who should be consistently giving performances in domestic ..... all they need is time and some good exposure.

Was waiting for this :D

nice article.

As far as bowling is concerned ..... that was not bad at all ..... yes there are areas where the improvements are required ... some of them are (cool headed, change of pace, yorkers, bouncers) .... One need to apply these qualities very smartly but again for all these deliveries one has to practice and practice and practice. Fielding standard is also very very very poor. We can not compete with big guns in this fashion. AFRIDI ..... does not know them meaning of captain ..... A man who can lead from front and set a very high example for their team mates and for Pakistan.

After PSL, Pak team has became just like a club team.

@cricket lover I slightly disagree with all the Afridi criticism. in 2/3 innings, he did not bat for long (run out and no balls left to play). His bowling was the only saving grace against Bangladesh, dont you think?

@Sunil This is high time now. We as Pakistani can understand this game significance.... Stop defending Afridi from any of the angles ....... Your justification is simply weaken our Pakistan cricket. Get out of it and start believing in others and make them stars by making them first a good asset for Pakistan and after that their performance speaks out loud .....

@Sunil That is the biggest question ..... why he does not bat so long ...... what is the problem in that ..... he has just to take and survive 3 overs and all he wants to support the other batsman ..... Afridi loves to play less overs but now he even not getting runs in for 3 overs ..... very poor

Again NFP rocks.

These are moments when people should realize the real value of Misbah. Limited overs teams of Pakistan needs a Misbah like captain (not Misbah surely, he is too old now) who has a calm mind and good cricketing brain. A person who will be able to control the energy flow of youngsters and steady the ship when needed. Imagine a team having a world class bowling attack, decent batsmen like Umar, Malik etc. with a charismatic Afridi can test a defeat against Bangladesh. Problem is in the captain and coach of T20 team.

Very nice as usual. Jokes apart drop Afridi, Hafeez and Sami. Keep Waqar as bowling coach only. Appoint good batting and fielding coaches. Appoint psychiatrist. Shoaib Malik is doing reasonably well of late, retain him for sometime and look for young brilliant fielders and batsmen, who are ever willing to learn. Take back Yasir Shah once his bowling style is accepted. Pakistan needs committed players and certainly not celebrities. This advice is also applicable to India and Sri Lanka for that matter. Best of luck.

Good one, keep it coming......

that is real writer thinking. explain it openly

After this, asking Pakistan to play against India, New Zealand and Australia during the T20 World Cup is a conspiracy against Pakistan. I am sure Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy must be involved in this conspiracy! We should be playing against UAE, Afghanistan and Scotland. Whether we win or lose from them, the cup should be given to us! If not, the world is conspiring against us!

nice

nice especially for Sami

@Waqas Ahmed That is what a mentor can do he help the batsman to play in proper way according to the pitch.

Hilarious, best advice by Afridi, looks his favourite shampoo has also washed away is batting talent for good.

I think complete cricket board should be disband and most of the cricket old player also and no more compromise.

I am sick to my stomach to see the performance of the cricket team and the role played by the PCB. It is satirical to see quintessential pursuits of our players over and over again and they expect variant outcome. The realty actuality is players with substantially large earnings don't have the affection nor the priority to play at International standards. Only the underprivileged and literate can understand the values of playing for the nation. When Hafeez falls for ducks in every other series and Afridi hits every other ball to give catch from the last 20 years then you can only expect worst from the newcomers. Wining uplifts the moral of the Nation and helps the Nations motivate to do well in their daily life. Loosing plays a crucial role in putting people in depression.

Thats our problem when they won we make them Hero when they lose we make them culprit.

Indian fielding is best in asia if not in the world.

I do not understand why most of comments are against Afridi. The main reason for Pakistan's poor performance was the trio of Hafeez, Sharjeel and Khurram. To include them specially in a crucial match against Bangladesh was a big mistake. Now who is to blame for their inclusion. Afridi alone or others.

Great...Loved it.

Love it...Should do more of these

The last picture stole the show - lovely :)

hahaha...last one was epic.

it was sad to see afridi. an all rounder, getting out on a full toss in a crucial match.

@Sivaram Pochiraju There is nothing wrong with Yasir's bowling style.

As usual, NF Paracha is excellent and hilarious! This is satirical yet true. Our cricketers are living for themselves and fame only. Pakistan, what Pakistan?

Almost all captains of other teams are performing good but our T20 and One day captains are far below from the average. Misbah is exceptional. He is doing good in Test cricket. What a irony was few months ago when seniors were against inclusion of Mohammad Aamir. Now see the difference. Failures are still failures and a tainted became successful.

Bowling performances of bowlers in Asia cup 2016 H.Pandya (part time bowler) vs Pakistan 3.3-0-8-3 vs UAE 3-1-11-1 vs Bangladesh 4-0-23-1 vs SL 4-0-26-2 J.Bumrah ( main bowler) Vs Pakistan 3-2-8-1 vs SL 4-0-27-2 vs Bangladesh 4-0-23-1 vs UAE 4-0-23-1 M.Amir ( premier strike bowler) of Pakistan vs India 4-0-18-3 vs UAE 4-1-6-2 vs Bangladesh 4-0-26-2 vs SL Not to forget the only match B.Kumar played he had bowling figures of 4.0-2-8-2 Statistically not much of difference. Is it?

This is a good one. I reckon there should be one on Head of PCB, who today said I promised Afridi that he will retain captaincy until the WT20. Qasmein, waadey nibhaegay hum .... Afridi is everything that's wrong with our cricket, sooner we replace him the better it will be long term. BUT then again ....Qasmein, waadey nibhaegay hum ....

wonderful....NFP...but Afridi is here to stay because PCB chairman has promised to retain him as captain till world cup.

Let's look at the bright side. With Khurram Manzoor Pakistan has finally discovered a "reliable and consistent " replacement for Shahid Aridi if and when Afridi decides to retire.

Chill guys. Time and again it has been proved that Pakistan can produce some lethal bowlers. Batting, i believe, has always been a worry for Pakistan. If I am not wrong most of the matches which Pakistan has won so far, has been based on its potent bowlers. Back your team guys.

For batting woes, Sir Vivian Richards is the answer. For bowling woes, need to bring Mohammed Asif back, currently the best swing bowler in the world.

Satire or no satire, you let them off lightly.......they were completely unprofessional the whole lot of them including the management.

My question to all and to Mr Nadeem What if Pakistan have had won that match? Let say by one run or so then we won't be questioning Pakistani team performance at all. Yes there is a room for improvement but this is not a way to react

My question to all and to Mr Nadeem What if Pakistan have had won that match? Let say by one run or so then we won't be questioning Pakistani team performance at all. Yes there is a room for improvement but this is not a way to react

I think, we should make Misbah the captain for T20 world cup. We were performing better in T20 while he was the captain. He even won the PSL series. He commands respect amongst the players and will not lose his wicket. He is such an honorable gentleman that he supported Afridi to stay as captain. With Afridi, we won't make it to quarter finals, lets be realistic. Afridi won't change, he hasn't changed in 19 years. He just doesn't have it in him to win matches. Also time to bring back Mohammad Asif in the attack. I'm tired of hypocrites who would rather see Pakistan suffer than forgive a soul.

Sad, 'boom boom' is now totally doomed! Time to say 'gone gone'!

Afridi is not a captain material. Instead of blaming him the people who are responsible for giving him the job should be sacked. He is a 15-30 runs player. Boom Boom. Can be very effective at any stage in t20 format. But with the burden of captaincy he is not able to play freely. That is my thought.

@Sivaram Pochiraju, Well analysis. I agree with you Sivaram

NFP is great ! His satire can cut and slash like no one else's.

Enjoyed every bit....

Is Boom Boom still going to do us and generations to come this huge favor of staying in the team!!!

I do not think that it is all Afridi's fault but the entire administration but again all of the administration did not come on merit like Imran Khan said. As long as we continue to neglect true talent and merit based selection we will continue to have such problems. Enjoy the article as it is funny how everything is turning in our country. No planning but pure luck, how a Head Coach can stay in his place with one failure after another. We are better off bringing real cricketers who at least know how to run this as a business. I truly believe it is time to bring Viv Richards our head coach and we need to show door to Mr. Waqar Younis for sure and tell him to go back and be a commentator that is the extent of his abilities

Indeed Hilarious, well done

@Pakistani then suggest what other teams are doing. Building an innings is something what which leads towards great shots selection. All time great sachin and Ricky had shows us such thing in past.!!!!!!

Lol, Good One ....!!!

hahahaha

They lack rotating the balls for singles. 56 dots....Is it T20?

Shoaib Malik is brilliant. He came back remarkably good. He is serious with a combination of good attitude and positive approach. He controls his nerves and fond of sensible batting and bowling. He is cricket artistic of today.

@Muslim Medina Afridi alone cause he does not listen to selectors and coach. That is what Waqar told media.

Humorous no doubt....but a bit too stinging ??!!!

Delightful

All these pictures are keepers. Nice work Paracha sahib.

@Sunil Pakistan actually played well until the last 3 or 4 overs when they started buckling to pressure and conceded runs. With just 2 overs to go, BD needed to make more than 20 runs and match was evenly poised. Then came that disastrous over with 2 no balls and everything changed. All of a sudden Pakistan's fielding was not good enough. I think, among other things, Pakistani cricketers need training to withstand pressure, especially for the young lot who are talented but not exposed to kind of pressure you are under when playing in the Subcontinent.

@cricket lover I think you are being very unfair. At one point when Afridi brought in Md Amir and latter got an immediate wicket in his very first over, everyone praised Afridi. Shaoib Malik also got a wicket and that decision too was the right one. Is it in Afridi's hand that there were misfieldings, no balls, dropped catches. I think he bowled well even though he has failed misearably with his bat. It is time he is retired. He is too old for T20. But the failure is a combined failure not of just Afridi.

Awesome

LOL! NFP - "The world is conspiring against me" is a master stroke!

The ICC should give 2 chances to our crickters. Also LBW and catch out should be forgiven to Pakistani batsmen's.

I Feel Pakistani Players should improve the mental stability..not panicking..of course afridi is a good player in the past and anyway he has the experience of leading the side..a minor tuning up his mental frequency ..will help pakistan to retain their past image ...best of luck pakistan from india

NFP, keep something for upcoming T20 world cup.

if this team competent to play cricket then they should higher yahoo as a coach... honest cricketer take step against corrupt cricketer as well current team except sarfaraz and aamir this team only champion in psl and other domestic tournament..poor team

PAKISTANI batting is third class since 2010... they batted like afganistan.....

Bharat.....compare Pakistan performance outside Pakistan with India's outside India. Indian record worst than a club team. In Australia Indians cannot win a single 3 day match or test match. In last 10 years how many test matches India won outside India?

Team building takes time. Remember india in late 90's , they used to lose most of the matches. i would suggest bring in youngsters to the team, and keep the senoirs to a minimum. And most importantly, give them time to learn.

As a cricket lover I would like to see a strong Pakistani side and give strong competition to the Indian side . The seam bowling with the likes of Aamir, Wahab and Irfan is the best in the world but batting is weak and Misbah should be be brought back . Afridi should still continue as a spinner and all rounder till the World Cup as he will be effective as spinner and also as hitter on Indian pitches

@Mazhar majjed good statistics. but differences are there. indian batting as of now, in t20, is very solid. most of the batsmen are in sublime form. we beat australia in australia recently and that has helped immensely. fielding is another aspect where india is miles ahead of pakistan. and these aspects have made the difference. and one more thing. uae scored 130 against pakistan and only 80 against india. so what happened in that match?

Although time is very short but for God sake send Misbah right now to India for taking over the captaincy and grabbing some victories in the world T20 contest and/or may be capturing the cup even.

Team's body work is so poor that they look losers in the ground already before the match starts even. It is very important and helps in the performance.

Waqar Younis as a coach has been a disaster. I remember world cup in south africa when he was the coach, it was such a disastrous campaign with a strong team. In my opinion he should be fired immidiately, Mohsin Hasan Khan who did a good job prior to him should be reinstated or any other eligible coach but not Waqar.

After T20 world cup the whole teams need overhauling. Someone has to teach them how to catch catches and do fielding on the ground. Just jumping stupidly on the ground is not fielding.

hilarious!

Even if its a different ballgame to test cricket, but if you cannot bat, you cannot bat in any format. First learn to bat against workd class bowlers. Then think of formats.

Nice one NFP...

Hahaha nadeem sir nailed it again. Most hilarious was whole world is against me, n what is T 20.

NFP you rock
