why Shahid Afridi wasn;t chosen as the player of match in 2nd ODI vs SA??

Question

why Younis Khan??? i don't agree...
afridi played an awesome 77 from just 35 balls & also took 3 wickets. whereas Younis Khan scored 98 only..
i want to know why...
i could not watch the match, so i don't know why was not he chosen.

Answer 1

The man of the match award is given to the player who has influenced the match the MOST,so you may say that Shahid afridi played very well but if younis didnt get 94 on the board pakistan wouldn't even be near a win and younis was very kind by giving away his wicket because he could have stayed there and keep taking singles to reach his century but because the team needed boundaries he started hittin and sacrificed his wicket where can you find that kind of commitment

and about shahid afridi, he is very incosistent, its no use to the team if you get 77 runs from 35 balls in one match and get less than 10 runs in the next ten matches really no use,if he plays like that then he will have to depend on his luck because he just goes to the crease and starts hitting and SOMETIMES it works and MOST OF THE TIMES it doesnt

so thats why Younis Khan was given man of the match.

Answer 2

I am also surprised as to why Younis Khan has been adjudged the Man of the Match, as Shahid Afridi should have been automatic choice for the award.

I do not find any logic in selecting Younis Khan for the award as besides Afridi, Mohd. Yousuf also played better than Younis Khan.

Answer 3

First of all he took 2 wickets and not 3 and secondly he is a lucky player who rarely performs. This time also he got lucky whereas younis khan scored a crucial knock and took 2 important catches.

Answer 4

In my opinion Shahid Afridi was the real hero of that game. Yosuf was also have the right too.
Shahid was best that day. THe shots were superb!!!!!!!!!.

Answer 5

i was surprised that afridi did not won MOM

Answer 6
