All Eyes On PCB and Afridi

Well few days ago Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi retired from International Cricket. He said he retired due to PCB behind him. He said that some PCB members planned and forced me to retire.Well some people think that he retired due to Ijaz Butt as Ijaz Butt said that I m happy with his decision, but i dont mind him retiring or not coz i m not in this case. PCB has said that he was not following the Code Of Conduct and have suspended Afridi's contract. Some experts said that he just gets serious to early and some said that he had to do it coz of no support. Its a big puzzle going on but its sure that Afridi is disappointed

Afridi is Pakistan captain, Afridi has retired

Well I loved to gather all he info and Blogs in 1 forum. It becomes frustating by again and again making new threads, finiding threads for different series.

Its All About Focus: David Lloyd

Former English Player David Lloyd said that Test and Odi Cricket are two different kinds of cricket. In Odi cricket U only need to focus for 50 Overs an innings and in total of 100 Overs and try to show ur best but In Test Cricket you have to focus for 5 days. The more you remain focused the better you play in Test Cricket. It is not neccesary that an Odi champ is a Test Champ or Test Champ is an Odi Champ. And he also said that England may not be a good Odi side but they prooved themselves as atleast a good Test side and they showed they can make Test Cricket special just like they did against Sri Lanka in first Test.

Test And Odi Teams are same, Test team is different from ODI team.

We wont take them lightly. He said that he is happy of his young squad. He said that the true World Cup heros, Dhoni,Tendulkar and Zaheer deserved a rest but I m happy that Zaheer and Dhoni will return to Indian Cricket in Test Series.

Jaysuriya Back
Sri Lankan opener out of no where, suddenly has been called back in the Sri Lankan ODI and T20 squad. He last time played for Sri Lanka in an ODI match in 2009 and last test match in 2007 and everyone thought he has retired but suddenly he is back. And even surprising was the decision of making Kandamby as the vice captain for Sri Lanka in ODI's And T20's. Samaraweera has been dropped and so has been Kapugedra.
