    Posted: 12 February 2006 at 2:28pm
Just wanted to see your views about Afridi's best knocks.

Which one do you think was better, devistating, more imposing, more demoralising for the oppostion?

Is it the one played against India last year or the one against SriLanka many years back thats the fastest ODI 100 of all time?

for reference, here are the stats of both innings
Runs  Balls  6s 4s  Against 	Venue	Date
102    37    11  6  Sri Lanka	Nairobi	04/10/1996
102    45     9 10  India	Kanpur 	15/04/2005

I didn't see both of them but the one aginst Sri Lanka looks better, by the stats. However, i cannot tell as in the one against india he may have had a better shot selection.

the knock against India was amazing just because he taught the indian bowlers a thing or two. but his 100 against s.l was his maiden one so obviously he would think that was the best and it is the quickest to date!

Definitely the 1 against SL.It was such a devastating innings and it was really out of the blue too.
Coz we haven't even heard abt Afridi on those days,it was a real demolarising innings.I saw that much through TV and the ground was small too,so all the mistimed shots went over the ground as well.

I've seen the innings against the indians as well and the funny thing was he got out to the 1st delivery he defended.All the other 44 balls he was either playing an attacking shot or just letting the bowl go to the keeper

Ofcourse the one against SL surprising the world by his fastest 100 in his maiden inning . I think it was the best for him , the Pakistanis and International Cricket but still the one against India was not only good but fabulous coz it was againt INDIA .

I would certainly go with the one against SL. It was his maiden ODI inning and he hit the quickest ODI century ever. The one against India was also a fine knock. He sure showed the Indians!

I agree with krisdy, but someone like afridi can be so devastating at times to the opposition.

The won against Sri Lanka would have ofcoarse been much more entertaining as it was made faster and had more sixes.

He can't. What are you talking about. He has slower starts. He doesn't go at that speed either. If Dhoni can, so can Pieterson. Same speed after a certain amount of time. Oh no Pieterson is not even close. But Dhoni can never. Sehwag can do it more easily. He has faster starts. Compare him to Sehwag not Dhoni.

Against Sri Lanka was better. It doesn't count if it hurt the opposition more. It counts on what was a better innings.

It's like saying that 270 is a better score than 170 if they are both played at a strike rate of 85.

First, I was thinking that the SL one was the finest...It was his maiden ODI inning and he hit the quickest ODI century ever. But then I was thinking, the one against India was in India and it was against INDIA!Our Arch Rivals! So, I would say that they were both equal!
