Don't hold back say what you really mean

Don't tempt me roco...

100 - I'm an Ireland fan, but England as well.

Opener - Not at all, but I've stated my points, he's a cheat and shouldn't be allowed to play, end of.

[Mr Cricket]

May I ask what those reasons are?

I only ask because hate is such a strong word to use. I'd hate a cricketer if he swore at my children at a county match. I'd hate him if he came back and robbed my house when I was at the theatre. I'd hate him if he hit a relative of mine with his car due to his negligence at the wheel.

Do you perhaps mean that you dislike him? I dislike lots of players. I dislike KP because he is an arrogant prat who would be twice the player if he lost half the ego. I dislike Mitchell Johnson because he was regularly the only player from both sides during the Ashes that was disrespectful in his demeanour.

I don't hate them though.

as mentioned, the 2006 bomb alert incident really does it for me.

the fact that he does not have a 'helmet sponsor' really does not answer my question. why would you have in excess of 4 helmets in your itinerary at any one point?

[Mr Cricket]

i would say it is justifiable to 'hate' someone who used a situation where people were worried for their lives for his own selfish gain.

Slate all you want guys but no one in cricket can replace Afridi and thats for sure!

Why would anyone want to be Afridi? Continuously lets his fellow players down with his pathetic batting. He's bowled ok thus far, but his 5 wickets hauls where vs the minnows. The guy is a mug

Can you perhaps enlighten us, as I'm not familiar with your point.

I've agreed with him 3 times recently! It's just getting silly now!

Interesting post, I am not a big fan of Afridi too, I dislike him as a lot of people on this post. Well I think hes very commercial player and hardly a cricketer (very unprofessional at his level). Although he has a lot of talent, but cant use it by the looks of it. Bowling is pretty much spot on, but I really don't know why he bats so high up the order.

That being said we cant really be judgmental of what type of a person he is, he might be a sweet guy behind the scenes. Just a point on cheating, everyone cheats these days and is dishonest. I am sure there has been a lot more cheating going on that the cameras might not have caught. Its hardly the Gentlemans game it once used to be.

[Mr Cricket]

as posted by rp27 this is why i hate Afridi, unforgivable... terror alert, noones looking at the pitch, i'll scuff up a good length.

Sorry but I've never seen anyone else in the history of the game try to eat the ball

Tumo, how is he a liar?

Jeet, he ticks you enough to come out of hibernation and post on this thread?

Just got back from nets...

Well IMO a player should be the pride of their nation. Afridi is the master of tarnishing pakistan's name...
