Afridi’s Secret Diary: Sleeveless Nights!

If you ask me, I'm confucius. Three months in front of World Cup and I the captain can admit I'm having sleeveless nights like nobody's business.

The team having a head (which is I) but no butt...because salman butt is suspended. And I missing kamran akmal like nobody's business.

kamran is a key player. Late me tell you why. Once my hotel room was locked and he opened it with his tooth!

I don't wanting to talk about asif. One day, in my front, he questioned a pitch curator "You got grass there?". asif...I mean as if I don't know what grass meaning!

The hole team in a mesh. One day younus is captain, another one day yusuf and another one day misbah.

You will not believing me but one day in the nets, azhar ali was talking lonely. I thought he had becomed mad. Know what he was telling? "It was a team effort...boys played well...we played as unit…"

I asked him, what matter was and he said, "Shahid Bhai, who knows, maybe I'll be the captain tomorrow."

Think! Yesterday's kid wanting to be captain tomorrow! This new generation...so amphibious!

But his saying have truth. Nobody knowing who becoming captain yesterday....or is it tomorrow? whoever...

All bad thoughts eating me and I'm loosing piece of mind. Time to stop writing, it's getting darky...another sleeveless night.

Som,

Several years ago, in a Malayalam movie, two guys ordered for Boneless, Chilly-less, Chicken-less Chilly Chicken in a hotel !

Now we have
Sleeveless [Afridi]
Backless [Salman Butt]
Front-less [Both Frontline bowlers]
Side-less [There almost is no side]
Useless [Ejaz Butt]
And
Hopeless situation to face !

Why the hell don't they make Younis Khan [the only fellow who deserves to be Captain] the Captain ?

Govind Raj said...

Well...

The point is...

Talking about Pakistan Cricket, in spite of me being a staunch follower of Pakistan Cricket is...

Point-less !

Gaurav, wait for the next WikiLeak :)

Som said...

Govind, that less list of yours left my post listless. Your comment speaks for itself, the less I say, the better.

Som said...

Btw, Govind, can't agree more. Younus is the lone sane guy and deserves to be captain. He won't be too keen though, knowing how others vowed in Australia never to allow him breathe easy.

straight point said...

twomorrow caned be another one day captain... but write know i am fixed as another one day captain...

loved it som... after a long time... afrid's dairy... like nobody's bizness...

Som said...

SP, I took this opportunity to announce that there is hardly a more flamboyant player in international cricket. Cricket would be so bland without him.

sunny said...

Lovely piece of writing Som. These Afridi diaries are just epic.

I agree with those saying Younis should be the captain considering he's the only Pakistani player (together with MoYo) who shows maturity. But it seems through the squabbles in the team some don't want him to be skipper at any cost.

Som said...

Sunny, I don't think even Younus would be interested now. Too many trouble. The dressing room is all about clique, cartel and corruption.

Barry said...

Lol Nice article. Anyway how can anyone of the Akmals not become a captain? If Afridi can be the captain then even Umar has a chance?
