Tribute to Shahid Khan Afridi


Gollum

This man is the ingenious innovator of KLPD :rofl: His hack-acy will live on through the generation of hacks he inspired. On a more serious note, what will define Afridi is the fact that the most telling memory he will leave behind will be the very first memory he gave the international cricket world.

Is he a batsman? 274 runs in 5 WCs.. No, he is a bowler. Is he? 171 Shahid Afridi's bowling strike rate this World Cup, the second-worst for any bowler in a single edition of the tournament (min. 50 overs). Afridi has bowled 57 overs this World Cup, conceding 282 runs and taking only two wickets.
Leading wicket-taker in one of the 10 world cups.

He is 39/40. His actual DOB is up for debate because they didn't have Birth Certificates in that tribal region at the time. But interviews in the past have made it clear he was actually 19/20 when he made his debut. Afridi's retirement and we all know it, is a great day for Pakistani cricket. However not so good for other teams. Finally Pakistan can select players on merit and nor false reputation and this will improve them leaps and bounds moving forward. What would you rather have bowl to the consistently failure that is Afridi, or someone who plays sensibly like for example Fawad Alam.
