Switchblade Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Afridi hails new ODI century record holder http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/60807/Afridi-hails-new-ODI-century-record-holder Pakistan allrounder Shahid Afridi Wednesday hailed New Zealand batsman Corey Anderson, who broke his long-standing record for the fastest one-day century -- but admitted he had never heard of him before. Anderson bettered Afridi's 17-year-old record by one ball, reaching the three-figure mark off just 36 balls against the West Indies in Queenstown in the third one-day international. Afridi set the mark aged just 16, in only his second limited-overs match, against Sri Lanka in Nairobi in October 1996. He said he had never heard of Anderson before Wednesday morning. "I never heard his name and early morning my nephew told me about his feat and I sort of said the first news of 2014 is of my record being broken," Afridi told AFP. "But I must say it's a great achievement and Anderson deserves all the praise. It needs a super effort to score a hundred off 36 balls," Afridi told AFP. "Records are meant to be broken and I knew it would be broken some day." Afridi admitted he had hoped the record would last until he quit the game. "I sort of wanted this record to stand until I retire because it has been a big pride for Pakistan and for me and whenever my name comes the record is mentioned," he said. "Now Anderson's name will come but I am sure with the advent of Twenty20 cricket this record will surely be bettered in the future." He said he had always expected West Indian Chris Gayle or Australian David Warner to break the record. "I had never expected it to be broken by a new player," said Afridi. "I thought the way Gayle batted and hit sixes or the way Warner bats, they were favourites to break my record." "I wish any Pakistan player would break this record soon, but for the time being everyone must appreciate Anderson." The swashbuckling Afridi has been in bad form with the bat last year and was dropped twice from Pakistan's one-day squad.

Afridi will do anything to claim this record again. :cantstop:
Sachin=GOD Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Afridi will do anything to claim this record again. :cantstop: Honestly speaking I won't be surprised if he reclaims the record.
StriKe Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Honestly speaking I won't be surprised if he reclaims the record. He might go for it in WCT20 march.
CSK Fan Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 He might go for it in WCT20 march. But is is an ODI record?
Sachin=GOD Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 He might go for it in WCT20 march. that would be a t20 record.

coffee_rules Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Arre Gadhon..Afridi's one record ..nobody will be able to break it...In fact it is two..
Iconoclast Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Arre Gadhon..Afridi's one record ..nobody will be able to break it...In fact it is two.. Yes .. he also has best bowling figures in an ODI 7-12 That I think will be an even harder record to break considering today's cricket.
Lord Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Yes .. he also has best bowling figures in an ODI 7-12 That I think will be an even harder record to break considering today's cricket. Vaas has an 8fer AFAIK
Iconoclast Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Vaas has an 8fer AFAIK 8-19 against Zimbabwe in Colombo You think that's better than 7-12 vs non minnow in their home ground ?
bulbul Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 New new versions of lahori logics are coming out
