CSK Fan Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 i think i maybe mitaken by saying poper hitting' date=' what i mean is the most destructive when hitting... sorry if it was an english mistake...[/quote'] Scoring 20 runs would not by any means be called most destructive. Hecck p[layers core 20 runs in an over nowadays. You have to have some bit of consistancy to be destructive. Scoring ten runs at 400 strike rate is not destructive
S.Bond Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 what kinda of hitting do u call done by sehwag today? not only today, but for about 1 year sehwag has become a real hiteer... He has a temendous strike rate and a very good average too... He hass been too good lat years in ODI's... but still you also have to look the pitches were ridiculous, epecially in the ODI series in New zeland, coupled with the short bounaries...

Scoring ten runs at 400 strike rate is not destructive ok ok, if you look at both trike rate for scored over 50 : Sehwag career : 116 Afridi career : 138 Afridi since sehwag's debut : 159
CSK Fan Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 ok ok, if you look at both trike rate for scored over 50 : Sehwag career : 116 Afridi career : 138 Afridi since sehwag's debut : 159 All i am saying is he is too inconsistent with those 50+ scores for those strike rate to have much efffect
vvvslaxman Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 At this point best comparison would be between Muralitharan and Afridi :--D
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 You give a billion monkeys a typewriter, 1 of them is bound to write a masterpiece. The same applies to Afridi..you give that pitch dancing retard dozens of chances, in one of them he is bound to get a 100.

No other batsmen get such a license in ODis or they would have done better. Any team would kick out such an inconsistent player Please note than in 20/20s where batsmen do have the license, Afridi is wayyyyyyyyy behind as a hitter
TSAG_RGB Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 ok ok, if you look at both trike rate for scored over 50 : Sehwag career : 116 Afridi career : 138 Afridi since sehwag's debut : 159 Yousuf Pathan's SR for scores above 50 : 163
saneindian Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Yousuf Pathan's SR for scores above 50 : 163 Yep thats the better comparison. Never compare a batsman with a blind hitter. Had Yusuf Pathan been playing for Pakistan, he would have been a hero across the border, not in India. You dont perform, you go out of the team.
PotterManiac Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I dont think its right to compare any batsman only on the basis of SR....it should be a combination of both SR and Avg.. I dunno about old days but at present, VIRU IS THE BEST! :adore:
Jadoo Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Pointless to compare the strike rate of a class batsman like Sehwag who averages in the 40's, to pauper Afridi who averages in the 20's. Comparisons are only meaningful when you compare apple's with apple's, not apple's with plonkers.
