You know who I am talking about.

His first 50 came of 63 balls, then the next 100 came off of 62 balls. All up a lazy 20 fours and 6 sixes.

Bowlers must feel helpless when Afridi is on fire, they just keep bowling until he hits one straight in the air.

I do like watching him bat, he is exciting and he goes all out
he must have a mission each innings to hit the cover off of a cricket ball, I reckon he comes close

the difference between him and Symonds is that he does not pussy foot around with blocking the ball, Symonds trys to pretend he is a batsman by blocking one every now and then :lol: :lol:

If he truly is 25 and the desire remains strong, we can look forward to watching him for another 10 years. That 50 he got in the ODI in Hobart last year against Australia was awesome.

The incident in the recent series against England will probably tarnish his name a bit though.

Well if you havea look at that game it looks like India are already playing for a draw on a flat deck.

Dravid 97 off 210 balls
Laxman 83 off 197 balls

Pity Foxtel isn't covering this eight-layered six-tiered highway. Would have been splended viewing.

Dhoni is on his merry way again. He came in at a precarious position of 4/258 after the Pakis made 588 and is currently 80 off 61 balls with 10 4's and 4 6's.

Pathan hit 90 as well. No bad for a bowler. But still is that pitch flat....oh yeah its bloody flat.
