3 Overs, 11 runs, 4 wickets....
Magic in T20 ( Kolkata thrashed Delhi)

Awesome Shoaib Akhtar

MAN OF THE MATCH in debut IPL match.

Amazing bro, I think Sohaib played extraordinarily today and was brilliant. I do hope he keeps repeating this performing and today was not a fluke.

Sparrow

Yes bro, he really rocked today and he deserves.  K ho bro lai AKhtar mann parchha jasto chha ni?

lol. What is this IPL thingy. This guy shoaib akhtar is nothing but overhyped cricketer. Amazing Musa marne dabai lai leathal weapon nabhana na.

Do you know who is the leather weapon. It is this guy on the photo. If anybody wondering who this guy is. He is best bowler in the world. And he's got pace too.

Look at record of this bowler.

23 matches, 120 wickets at an average of 21 and strike rate of 35. Now thats what i can a true bowler.

Hahahha No quiero hahah bhanna payo bhandai ma je payo tyahi bhanne :-)

Why he is Lethal Weapon, here is the video of today's SUPER MATCH where Akhtar made a dramatic IPL debut.

timile bhaneko LEATHER weapon he hehehe

No_queiro - I agree with you. Akhtar is a over hyped cricketer. And isn't the guy in picture Dale Steyn?

 

Amazing-  I not a big fan of Akhtar but I dont mind watching him play.

 

Sparrow

Lol. IPL re. K khalko league ho yo.

No bowler in the world can be compared with Dale steyn  of South Africa. He is simply the best fast bowler world have seen for a very very long time. May be Waqar Younis during his hayday of early nineteens was as good as Steyn.  Shoaib is not even as good as Brett Lee.

His record speaks for himself. 23 test matches , 120 wickets , at an average of 21 and a strike rate of 35.

No Quiero, by not disagreeing with you, Im a big fan of Pakistain Bowlers from Imran khan to Wasim Akram and from Waaqar Yunis to Shoaib Akhtar. They all rock...

Shoaib is big fun to watch, more than his bowling skill his activities are thrilling . And I simply like his aggression (thats why he is kicked out) anyway, I wish him BEST OF LUCK

no_quiero bro, I see your point. But dont you think its too early to tag him as the BEST BOWLER in the world especially comparing him to the likes of Akhtar and Lee. I know he's been a great bowler so far but it's too early to call.

 

PS: Akhtar rocked today. CHEERS!! Amazing and Sparrow!!

Bod dai. Kun jamana ma hunuhuncha. Brett lee' name is understandable. But shoaib Akhtar. Hahahaha.

Even between Steyn and Brett lee there is a huge gap.

By the way Bod dai you may as well remember me. I was one of the die hard Italian supporter during the world cup in 2006. Probably you were the only other supporting italy. I had a different nick then.

no_quiero bro, just because he ranks among the Top 5 doesnt necessarily mean "No bowler in the world can be compared with Dale steyn  of South Africa."

He still has a long way to go. Its just like saying Michael Hussey is better than Sachin Tendulkar just because his ranking is better. I mean Hussey got class but that doesnt mean he's better than Sachin. Just a thought.

Oh yeah. I remember you. B*****_*** something like that.

True Bob Dai. Tara Dale steyn is only about 50 wikcets behind shoaib. And he have played a lot less test matches.  On the current rate he will end up getting about 70-80 more test wickets than shoaib playing similar number of test matches.

Aba Euro Cup suru hudai cha 7 june dekhi. We need to support Italy again.

Bob Dai.... Point noted

No quiero, if we only see the statistics
D Steyn 15 wickets from 13 ODIs
Akhtar 219 wickets from 139 ODIs

As Bob Dai said, just a thought :-)

Euro Cup will be fun to watch. Its time Italy are crowned champions again.

Sparrow

Lol. amazing seeing at the stats you have given me I accept shoaib is much better bowler than steyn.

Yeah man. Its a shame that England's not playing but oh well, wat can we do? I'm all ready for it.

Go Azzurri.

PS: I'm still excited about Man U winning BPL. CL is next. :)

Oh Sathiharu, donot dream ManU wininng CL and Italy EC......

No Quiero , yes that was a very positive gesture toward AKhtar Bhai

Come on Amazing Bro...we should at least get a chance to dream.
