jalebi_bhai Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 This man is the ingenious innovator of KLPD 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. Link to comment
Guldozer Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 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. Link to comment

MechEng Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Lala was born in Australia how many ODIs ...oh sorry first class matches he would have played ? If Lala was born in Australia, he would have been a completely different person considering different culture and levels of professionalism there. Link to comment

Marut Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Anybody got an accurate number for his age? I recall a piece on bbc radio circa five years ago and the ballpark then was that he was 40ish. He is 16. Link to comment

bones Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 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. Link to comment
