Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Irfan's latest medical report has indicated that he does not need surgery for his injured hip and could be a chance for the 2015 World CupIrfan's hairline fracture seems to have healed after six weeks of rehab and he started training in Lahore, where he was not bowling at full tilt but seemed to be enjoying being back in action

Any one seen that catch in IPL which has gone viral ? couldn't find the video but i think he made the mockery out of that catch , first he overran , he misjudged and slipped and then he took it with some reflexes :/

The one by Lynn?

That's a relief. Irfan has proven to be an asset to our bowling reserves since his recent comeback to the team. He will be a handful in Australian conditions.

Yeah someone was showing this to me the other day. Lynn misjudged the catch but he adjusted well in the end. Although that catch doesn't hold a candle to this one

 

[afeef]

yeah that's the one i am talking about it, i think similar type of catch was taken by irfan but he completely misjudged it and the ball stuck in his hand , will post the video once i find it.

 

[TheRaja]

i have seen a better catch than both of them. i will try to search and post that

Hahahah saw this earlier. Loved the way Gavaskar describes the whole incident. :hah:

Guess where the 2015 World Cup is being held?

Oh. I thought you meant we were going Australia for the series.

I envy the Sri Lankan Cricket circuit. It was Mahela --> Sangakarra --> Dilshan --> Matthews --> Chandimal --> Malinga --> Thirimanne..........
And we're stuck with Misbah because there's no viable alternative. :\

SL churn out captains like we do babies. No struggle for power, back-bitings or oath-takings.

It's actually amazing how many ex-captains they have in their team yet we never hear any news about any bickering or politics between players and ex-captains. No groups made.

Pakistan Cricket News: Misbah-ul-Haq to remain Pakistan captain till World Cup, says Najam Sethi | ESPN Cricinfo

So it seems Misbah will be retained as captain till the World cup. Not a big fan of Najam Sethi but have to agree with him on this one.

Even if Moin Khan is in favour of Afridi becoming the captain it's strange why he has to come out and say it in a press conference. Statements like these only result in more bickering and divisions in the team. All our officials should be banned from talking to the press, the fools don't know when to keep their trap shut.

 

[Benighted]

Was it fair to Ashwin when with his guile he had the better of Afridi but the design of the bat made Afridi the eventual hero? In modern cricket, bowlers are losing such battles on a daily basis. Why, even Afridi experiences this harsh reality as a bowler.

Manjrekar still sore about the Asia cup loss.

Sethi said misbah will be the captain for 2015 ODI WC and moin khan wants Afridi to be captain.

@Ottoman: I just came here to post that. Wish I had seen the match live.

It's the second time AB has destroyed him in IPL. Poor Steyn. I mean what can he do. That's Abraham Bejamin Fucking De Villiers we're talking about.
