Afridi is crazy, that is a guy who u need in a ODI match, he doesn't waists bowls, he scores like more than double the amount of runs for the amount of balls, he is the best batsmen to watch, anyone pro batsmen can play slow like tendulkar, but to see a guy who can do that so fast; fours after fours is seriously impressive, what do you expect he is a pakistani he is full of surprises!!!!!!!!

The only probelem with afridi is that he is really inconsistant and if he can continue what he is doing recently he would be the best batsmen ever!!!!!!!

 

[faraz haider]

well good to see afridi hitted his 200 six in the match against india

Freddie will get there, and will get to the top 3 atleast.

The problem is that England dont play as many ODIs as the subcontinental teams.

 

[Will p]

Its because they're like 10 times less important than Tests over here

Boom Boom Afridi

Yeh but look Afridi has the worst Average aswell!

 

[fanirama]

Well...what do you expect.... its Afridi. It was bound to happen.

If you want crude cricket but exiciting cricket -- watch Afridi
If you want classy cricket and exciting cricket -- watch Tendulkar or Lara

My dream team would include both Afridi and Tendulkar ( or Sehwag )

 

[bassit]

If u look at Afridi's recent record, he is averaging 35 in ODIs since the start of the 04/05 season. And the strike rate has been a demolishing 150!! Now I think there is some consistency in that!

 

[indiancricketer]

hes a dangerous batsmen when he goes and plays but like honestly you don't want to left afridi get settled in because if he does then it could be a big big mistake for the other team...but the completly opposite for the team he is on....lol
