Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi on
Saturday backed his ex-teammate
Shoaib Akhtar's claim that Sachin
Tendulkar was uncomfortable against
his pace, saying that he had once
witnessed the Indian batsman
"trembling" while facing the pacer.
Afridi, who retired after revolting
against the his own Board and has a
history of making controversial
remarks, said Tendulkar was uneasy
against Akhtar, a claim which the
pacer made in his recently-launched
autobiography 'Controversially Yours'.
"He (Tendulkar) was scared of Shoaib.
I have seen it myself. I was fielding at
square leg and saw his legs trembling
when Shoaib came on to bowl," Afridi
told reporters without elaborating on
which match he was referring to.
Afridi went on to state that Tendulkar
was also uncomfortable facing young
Pakistani spinner Saeed Ajmal during
their World Cup match.
"During the World Cup, he also looked
scared of Saeed Ajmal. It's not a big
deal, players do feel the pressure at
times and it becomes difficult," he
said.
Afridi's comments in support of Akhtar
come barely within days of the launch
of the autobiography, which created a
furore in India with several former
players and BCCI officials slamming
the speedster for making tall claims in
the book.
Akhtar, who had a history of
disciplinary violations and had also
been banned during his career, had
made disparaging comments about
Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.
This is not the first time that Afridi has
made provocative comments which
may not go down too well with Indian
fans.
After the World Cup semi-final loss to
India earlier this year, Afridi had
slammed the Indian media for its "very
negative approach" and said the
Pakistani media was a "hundred times
better".
"In my opinion, if I have to tell the
truth, they (Indians) will never have
hearts like Muslims and Pakistanis. I
don't think they have the large and
clean hearts that Allah has given us,"
Afridi had said when he was asked
about relations between the two
countries.

It would be a fool who is not scared of a projectile coming his way at 100 mph.. As they say in the army.. Being scared is what keeps you alive.. In this case, probably being scared is what made Sachin the greatest batsman in the world..

Rest I believe, when dogs bark, there is no point barking back at them.. One should just throw a morsel at them, pat them on the head and move on. May be a few hundred thousand books deal for SA will do it for him.. All of us anyway know what happens when Pakistani cricketers are deprived on Indian Rupees.. We saw the aftermath of IPL auction fiasco :lol:
 
. . . .
Afridi, it's called footwork! Ah well nevermind you won't understand! :lol:

some cricketers bat,some cricketers bowl...some do both of it and some just cant get over things :rofl:

Us kaam ke liye 100 rs ghante se jyada nahin paisay nahin milenge..

khair itni baat karke bhi kal agar IPL se khelne ka offer aaye to dono chattay huay pohochenge..

he he a loser supports other loser.if shoaib is so successful against sachin than why he does not consider shoaid akter worth enough to play against india in semi final of wc.ask sahid afridi how many time he himself get scared to bowl against sachin.afridi also makes his retirement as a joke.for last few days he was playing retire retire game.now he gets annoyed with the game & wants to play cricket again.now he also wants some publicity along with shoaib.
