Originally posted by Inzy when he opens up he does it for a reason...to get pakistan into a good firm position, he's got the quickest ODI 100 to date. He hits 6s for fun and has got a quicker ball which pushes 80 mph barrier.

you don't hit 6's for fun you idiot in reply to inzy who is stupid enough to risk hitting a 6 for just fun thats just stupid don't post that silly kind of crap

Originally posted by crick yeah to be honest i dont hink thousands of people would go to see him, and then leave as soon as he gets out if he wasn't amazin, you dont even see that kind of attitude towards gilly, symonds, kemp, pieterson, flintoff, lara, or tendulkar

All those players draw thousands, quite a lot of them also go off when they're out, He's not the first, he is a class player though

Originally posted by Wal Bada Oh my dear. Viv did not play a spinner in the class of Muali or Warne. If he had done that, yes I would admit. Viv only managed one century in about 5 test against India when Chandrasekhar was playing. Chandra absolulely flumoxed Viv.

Oh dear , dear , dear!! You have a marvellous way of distorting the facts - let's just see how "flummoxed" Viv Richards was by Chandrasekhar!

They played only two test series against one another - 1974-5 in India (5 tests WI won 3-2) and 1975-6 in West Indies (4 tests WI won 2-1)

Viv Richards made his debut in the series in India and like many before , he struggled in the 1st test , but he ended the series with an average of 50.4!! In the return series in the caribbean he annihilated the Indian attack and averaged 93.7 !!

Here are the facts....

   1974-5 in India Chandrasekhar dismissed Richards 3 times , two of those dismissals coming in his 1st test match.

                Matches Runs 100 50 HS Average
Viv Richards      5  &nb sp;  353    1    ; 1 193*   50.4


   1975-6 in West Indies Chandrasekhar dismissed Richards ONCE in the 4 test series.

Viv Richards     4   &nb sp;  556    3    ;1 177    93.7


By the time the 2nd series was finished , there was only one person "flummoxed" and that was Chandrasekhar wondering how to bowl to Richards!!

Oh my dear. Viv did not play a spinner in the class of Muali or Warne. If he had done that, yes I would admit.

  sorry mate you are way way wrong, Viv has been player with class written on whatever he did while batting. I think you better get a CD of the master batsmen and see how he handled all the bowlers and than start any comparison, I would say he has been one of the most gifted players in the history and a very few current match him to any degree!

Originally posted by ozzie001 but from what I have (Pak v Eng 2006) he only has one gear, 'flat out'.

Fair assessment Ozzie! I think Afridi is a better cricketer than he's given credit for. His batting lacks subtlety , but his eye is fantastic and he really does send it when going well. He's given free license by Woolmer and Inzy and I think that's the right thing to do. He doesn't rotate the strike and he isn't quick between the wickets , but he scares opposition captains when he's going! Don't underestimate his bowling either - he generates decent turn and bowls quickly too - fine player and good for the game. There's no more exciting sight than Afridi climbing into a decent bowler and scattering the crowd!

Whenever Pakistan play England I always support Afridi and hope he does well because he epitomises how fun cricket can be and when you see someone like Rahul Dravid or Alistair Cook they always grind out their innings and it is occasionally quite stressful to watch but Afridi, wow, just wow.

First of all Its not as much AMAZING as u shows here. and y u support the most pathatic player the cricket world ever produce who have no idea of how to play cricket (Shoaib Malik falls also in this catagory ). if i had that much chances that afridi had . im sure that my ODI and Test averages much  better then his. Here Afridi supporter give some statistics to support afridi i have also have some statistics and facts about him wait ive just paste :D I'd mailed it to a TV channel :D
Hero Shahid Afridi who played 234th ODi of his career yesterday. When  Ponting(261ODI matches), Kallis(242 ODI matches), Fleming(257 ODI matches), Pollock(269 ODI matches), Attapattu(259 ODI matches), Gilchrist(247 ODI matches) came in ground or seen them on TV  what the perception came into mind? that they could win the match single handedly or make big contribution which help their team to win a match on that day.  THey only played some more matches then Afridi. and compare to that what the perception came in mind when our Afridi came in crease or in ground or we see him on TV that he is a cricket of minutes or he could survive for some time and then out in the air or bold?. Even in this cricket world many many players who are youngster then afridi in the match played tally they also have the respectfull repotation in the minds of cricket lovers that they have the mind, shoulders and talent which make their team a winner single handedly. Chanderpaul, Jayawardene, Sangakara, Gayle, Sarwan, Symonds, Hussey, Pieterson, Flintoff, Kemp, Smith, Gibbs, Sehwag, Yuvraj, Dhoni, these all are younger then Afridi in the tally of Odi played in their careers and some of them are very young in cricket world as Hussey,Dhoni, Pieterson and Kemp. And Most of them are "Hard Hitters" which Our Paki Brothers often says that "Afridi is a hard hitter batsman thats why he often fail to make runs".  After played 10  years of cricket no one can say after seeing him on crease that he is a experienced campainer. i think that in these 10 years PCB easily produce 2 or 3 geniune batsmen or Allrounders if they give chances some other players. because only 30-50 odis are enough to prove someone about his potatial to expend his career with National team. 234 ODis and 10 years are totally Big loss.
