I am including world T20 as well * 8 innings 85 runs 10.62 avgerage 83 balls faced * Oddly enough Afridi hit his first ever sex against India in world cups * Today's score is highest score against India in world cups/T20s. *Every 4 years he gets out to full tosses against us :cantstop: 2007 world T20 prelims 17.4 caught! Afridi tries to blast another one out of the ground, it's a low full toss from Harbhajan and this time the top edge is safely held by Karthik at mid-off, crucial wicket this 103/6 2011 world cup 41.5 61.3 mph, gone! Harbhajan sends down a high full toss, Afridi attempts to smash it baseball-style down the ground but the ball takes the top edge and swirls up for cover to take an easy catch. The captain departs, he had to go for his shots but couldn't execute that one too well. This is India's game now 184/7 2015 world cup 34.1 88.0 mph, Kohli takes a special catch. Afridi is making room, gets a thigh-high full toss, which he tries to smash, gets a thick top edge over the covers. Kohli runs back. Gets under it. Has almost overrun this. Slows himself down. Takes this over his shoulder and dives. He comes up and celebrates with his arms spread out. Almost like Afridi. Maybe exactly like Afridi. Maybe on purpose 149/6

One part of me is sad that he will retire after this WC....he has also been a part of majority of my cricket watching life... He did lot of stupid stuff and his batting is very much hit or miss but I will give him the below :- - He really plays with his heart ( and many times misses the heart + brain combination, thankfully ). I have never seen him give less than 100% on field while bowling or fielding. Batting, he has really underachieved. If he was not obsessive of his strike rate, he could have been someone like a Raina for Pak ( and with his regular bowling, more valuable for Pak). 35 odd average, 90+ SR... I was sad when Inzi retired too...he was a nice bloke and a really good bat...
