Shoaib pulls out of Test series

[Spitfire_x86]

Hamstring injury to keep him out for a month (http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/CRICKET_NEWS/2005/FEB/184817_INDPAK2004-05_18FEB2005.html)

good for Paki

[Spitfire_x86]

It's not good for Paki. Without Shoaib, their bowling is nearly nothing against the strong batting line-up of India. No matter how indisciplined Shoaib is, he's their only great bowler at this moment.

[reinausagi]

Really bad news for Pakistan. If I'm not mistaken, their top four front-line pacers are now injured. The Indians are starting to smell a sweep.

[DJ Sahastra]

"Really bad news for Pakistan."

India has long stopped considering Shoiab as a threat. In fact, we are more wary of those unknowns that Pakistan keeps on springing from time to time. We have a knack of making superstars out of unknown entities.

[Shehwar]

I feel its a great news for Pakistan....!!!...I honestly believe they'll do much better without Shoaib....And for Indian fans----Beware of a certain RANA-NAVED-UL-HASAN....!!!.....

[DJ Sahastra]

"Beware of a certain RANA-NAVED-UL-HASAN"

I would ask Indian team to Beware of any unknown face that pakistan may throw up.

The known faces should be easy to handle.

[AsifTheManRahman]

i don't think this will have any impact whatsoever on a team who have talent in abundance, with anjumans and iftikhars and what nots springing up all the time. if shohaib isn't there, someone else will spring up, grab a couple of wickets, and get lost forever. it happens all the time in pakistan's case.

[al]

poor shoaib. he may be lost forever unless he clears his name and get along with the team mates. its too bad for worlds fastest bowler

HaHaHa... don't over-hype RANA-NAVED-UL-HASAN mania DJ... he is nothing but another pussy-cat.

Dhawa Korleee Vhoyee Dor Debay..

[Spitfire_x86]

Rana Navel-ul-Hasan gives away too much runs

[DJ Sahastra]

Ami Naved-Ul-Hasan Prochondo Pitai Debe :lol:

"Dhawa Korleee Vhoyee Dor Debay.."

Now, help me with this one.

[AsifTheManRahman]

sorry dj, the first one doesnt make any sense :) (not to discourage you)

Dhawa Korle: run after

Vhoyee: In fear

Dor Debay: will run


He will run away if you start running after him...

oh well, my translation sucks. but you get the meaning right?

[DJ Sahastra]

Asif,

I was merely trying to say that "I am gonna smash Naved-Ul-Hassan big time".

I thought "Pitai" was like smashing and "Prochondo" was liek "big time".

Well, i guess i messed up then. :E

[AsifTheManRahman]

ami naved-ul-hassan ke pitay fatay dibo

pitay: hit
fatay: smash


ami naved-ul-hassan ke pitay bhorta banay dibo

bhorta - mash (as in mashed potato)
banay - make






ami naved-ul-hassan ke pitay oi betar theng bhenge dibo

beta: guy
theng: informal for "leg"
bhenge: break

i will beat naved-ul-hassan hard and break his leg

[AsifTheManRahman]

ami naved-ul-hassan ke emon pitan pitabo je oi beta baaper naam bhule jabe

pitan: noun form of pitay

i will beat him up so bad that he'll forget his dad's name

[AsifTheManRahman]

i know these things sound crappy when you translate them...oh well

[DJ Sahastra]

Wow, i was closer than i thought :lol:

:bravo:

I'll settle for the "Bhorta" Version :)

Ami naved-ul-hassan ke pitay bhorta banay dibo :duh:

I like it :great:

[AsifTheManRahman]

tomar naved-ul-hassan ke pitay bhorta banate hobe na - sourav dravidrai oke bhorta banay baaper naam bhulay dibe :)

[DJ Sahastra]

FataFati AsifTheManRahman :)

(AsifTheManRahman Rocks - Now, if you say that's incorrect, then blame Nasif for telling me wrong Bangla)

[AsifTheManRahman]

no, it's fine

thanks

one of my indian colleagues was really disappointed with the absence of shoaib and tendul today. really - it just takes a lot of attraction away.

"one of my indian colleagues was really disappointed with the absence of shoaib and tendul today. really - it just takes a lot of attraction away."

True.

I am equally disappointed.

I as much enjoy Shoiab's Raw raging-bull like charging as his delivery being sent more faster to the ropes, and even stumps cart-wheeling if the batsman is not Indian.

Tendulkar should take care of his elbow and i don't care how long he has to rest for it. While he'll be missed, i'll rather have him rest and recover than lose him forever.

I have some awesome raw talents in the recently concluded challenger and i want some of them to be tried.

he may be good in one match but can he keep up in the rest?

Are you talking about Shoaib or Rana Naved-ul-Hasan?

[Spitfire_x86]

I think Sami and Shabbir are better than Rana.

Pak recall Arshad Khan.:)

[cisco-guy]

Missing Shoaib will hurt the Paskistan team. I believe this is also a great loss for the cricket lovers.

[Fazal]

In may be another case of “addition by subtraction”. In the long run, it may help Pakistan. Pakistan needs to find out other ways to win without Shoeb. He has enormous talent no doubt, but he is always an unnecessary distraction and a continuous pain in a[][] for the team.
