stats say - AFRIDI But I really dont want to hurt ,,, AFRIDI is a FLUKE ,,,.Ask youself, how many times he has dissapointed all pakistanis. He simply swings the bat , Poor technique ,,,very limited shots ,,, technically horrible,balance and head positon during his shots In all ,,, he hits if the "Ball comes in way of the BAT" Shewag is a complete player ,, but he too HAD lot of Grey areas in his batting . Still some weakness in him is there ,,, but He has improved a lot in both the forms of the game. Well both are aggressive ,,, but shewag has matured as a player and approaches the controlled aggression. Some records for the two: AFRIDI: 1000 runs - oct 97 SHEWAG: 1000 runs - sep 2002 139 mat,avg - 32.15, 7 hundreds,19 fifties,66 wkts Shahid afridi could have been a great player only if he was handeled correctly, see the difference in shewag ;already a vice captain ; Very healthy TEST avg ; Negotiates opening in tests too;Has a 300 score in tests also. ------------- "I go by present and present says - Sachin IS the BEST , Shewag is going to be the next best and Dhoni's is gonna rock the world with his brutal assaults - GOD help the rest of the world" |

In all honesty Afridi is the more aggresive player but Sehwag is the
far better player. Sehwag you can always depend for quick runs, Afridi
you cannot. Both have excellent strike rates, Afridi over 100 and
Sehwag on 97

Sehwag is the better player because he is more consistent and aggresive...but afridi without a doubt is more aggressive than Sehwag. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Use the word more IRRRESPONSIBLE for players like Afridi.He does not come to bat with plan in his mind. he doesnot even read the pitch.He just waves his bat .. does not even know in which direction bat is moving.He is not even comparable to other batsmens.Its better to compare Gilchrist and Dhoni or sehvag or gilchrists who will be knowing where is their bat moving.(leave abt where ball moving) -------------

Actually, that's wrong...Afridi is not more dangerous, he is only more aggresive, but he isn't consistent with his aggresiveness and that brings him down. Sehwag is more dangerous because he is a bit less aggressive but is consistent along with aggressiveness which makes him more dangerous. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Majority of time he comes during feilding restrictions , i.e First 15 overs ,, so how can the fielders go to boundaries????? Secondly when he comes lower down the order ,,, the feilding team captains know that soon after a WILD SLOG or two ,, he wont be able to clear the ropes ,, So they place fielders to get the catches After all a Hopeless loser with a petty 24 average is nothing but SHAME . I can say he is luckiest player to get so many chances for pakistan. Well it is because of the fact that pakistan never really produced a World class batsman , none infact not even one ,, so they are going to stick with bit and pieces batsman. Pakistan always had world class bowlers, Inzi comes close to being World class batsman ,, but his record is not good all the way. He has been awfully hopeless during many seasons. ------------- "I go by present and present says - Sachin IS the BEST , Shewag is going to be the next best and Dhoni's is gonna rock the world with his brutal assaults - GOD help the rest of the world" |

Afridi scares the hell out of fielding sides and especially bowlers! He's not a slogger , he's just got an incredible eye and when he middles it , it's sent into orbit!!
What you're forgetting is his underrated bowling. He takes plenty of wickets with his legspin and that can't be ignored. I'll tell you something , if Pakistan win the world cup , Shahid Afridi will have a great deal to do with it. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Sehwag is a fine opener and a decent off spinner Thala ,but Afridi is a more potent wicket taker.

I say that Afridi's bowling is obviously better but his batting isn't consistent enough. He is the most aggressive player in International cricket, but he isn't consistent. Just look at his averages. They've been dropping. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

I think you're all missing the point here. Afridi is a fine team man in that he goes out there and fulfills the wishes of his coach and captain. What is he asked to do?
Simple , go out there and smash it to all corners of the ground! It's a VERY high risk scenario , but when he comes off , Pakistan WIN!! I'll bet if you ask Woolmer or Inzamam what is Afridi's average , neither would know ,or more to that point , care ! He brings something to the side that other countries would kill for - someone who can destroy ANY form of bowling and win a game in the 1st 20 overs. Gilchrist can do it , so can Sehwag , Jarasuriya used to do it too - but no-one has ever launched the ball like Afridi , he really is dynamite and every bowlers worst nightmare. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Agreed. as for as the aggressiveness is concerned the Afridi is the best and also i want to mention Abd-ul- Razaq; he is alos aggressive. Remember his great aggressivenesses. E.g. five fours to Glenn Mcgrath and what he did today. 51 of 22 balls not out. I think in his innings He is 70 times aggrssive. ------------- Cricket is an Art; Cricket is not by Chance. |

Razzaq is very aggressive but too bad he doesn't do it very consistently. The 50 off 22 balls was amazing. Why are we talking about Razzaq?

Sehwag is still a better player at the end of the day, taht is what counts, NOT agression. Sehwag scores his runs fast enough as it is, and actually gets runs too. Shahid Afridi 1st got into the Paki team as a 16 yr old leg spinner, not as a slogger ------------- |

That's right. Shahid Afridi surprised everyone by hitting the fastest century in his maiden ODI inning.
Sehwag is the better player even though he is a bit less aggressive. Afridi is just complete agression and that doesn't do him good. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

no no no! Sehwag is more dangerous... because he is aggressive and consistent. Afridi is only considered dangerous because he can hit a couple of sixes each time he comes in to bat. Afridi needs to be patient. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Com on stick to the topic,what class has to do with most aggressive, we can discuss about class in stylish one, Most aggressive batsman in the world is AFRIDI, sehwag lags miles behind, dhoni, gilchrist,symonds, cairns, razzack,are a lot better than sehwag, please compare afridi with dhoni. I am sorry but none of these batsman have any class whatsoever the only thing they know is to throw their bats on evrything, and this is what evrybody wants from them, there are lot many batsmen to show class. |

there is alot of indian bias in these posts..Veeru is a wonderful stroke maker, one of the best in the world, but has the same technical problems outside the off stump as afridi..jus to put things into prospective..afridi has hit almost 300 sixers in one day cricket, he has batted all over the batting order, especially in the lower order, which explains his average of 24..ask any genuin cricket fan, one day cricket is about strike rate, which afrdid excells in, he has scored runs against all nations, even in autralia, and lets not forget what he did to the indian bowlers in india in 2005! why dnt u ask them about afridi's talents. he along side sehwaq are great for cricket, we should be greatful that they are both asian players! the current series in pakisatn will seperate the men amongst the boys.

Posted By: vize

I will totally agree on this. Sehwag was an early talent spotted for his batting. He played in the 1998 under 19 world cup as a batsman and now almost 8 years he is prospering with the bat. Afridi on the other hand was selected as a bowler. He was not known for his batting before he got selected. He just hits whichever ball he sees without timing it properly (which bowler cannot do that?) ------------- |

where did you get this definition of aggressive, the best strike rate, the most sixes, makes you most aggressive, the one that comes to mind is AFRIDI, you start a topic and them wander here and their to fit in your favourites, sehwag does not come near to aggression shown by afridi, yes he gives you a chance evry ball, Ok think of Afridi, sehwag, gilchrist, cairns, dhoni, batting for 50 balls , who will score more! |

do u think it is usefull to take the stats of 200 inning of all the better genuine player excluding Afridi and arrive at a conclusion which everyone knows that Afridi is the most hopless , sick , talentless ,foolish , zero-brain slogger and nothing else . Come on ,, he would'nt have played 25 matches if he was an australian . and rest of the wolrd teams would have sacked him for ever after 50 matches ,,, its only u pakistan that have allowed that foolish fluke of all time to play over 200 matches. The more we discuss the more afridi get insulted.. so it better that u realise the fact that Afridi is noting but a joker who comes on age once in a blue moon. ------------- "I go by present and present says - Sachin IS the BEST , Shewag is going to be the next best and Dhoni's is gonna rock the world with his brutal assaults - GOD help the rest of the world" |

Like i said before aggression isnt only SIXES and FOURS. You could say BBevan was aggressive,because he was an aggressive and lightening fast runner between the wickets and got many 2's and 3's when t he y shouldhave been 1's and 2's and he got the odd four and six. ------------- |

Such alow key player like afridi, doesnt deserve to be in a B team, but if he has scored three centuries against a test team like india I believe that team should be relegated to B catagory!

| if you have a clear definition of aggressive player, I still believe bevan will always be considred the best amongst aggressive players, infact my best oneday player of all times is bevan second only by dean jones, but if you go by strike rate for being aggressive, than it should be AFRIDI |

Yes indeed, he also dramatically improved his ability against short pitched bowling. He was also a handy left arm chinamen bowler, he got 10 wickets in a match including 6 in the 1st innings!! He had a very good wrong 'un (googly) whoch was extremely hard ot pick. One reason why Paul Adams (stupidest and most dumb action i have ever seen), Bevan, Katich and Hogg were so successful was becuase Chinamen bowlers are extremely rare and harder to pick.

Regarding Dhoni ,,the best thing to happen to India ,,,,I simply like him and just want to watch his batting. Well the 183 of 140 odd balls agaisnt SL and 148 of 123 balls against Pak ,,,,, dosent mean that he is a class player ,,,I want such scores against Eng,aus and NZ in foreign pitches he has to prove again and again for me to say the he is the next gilchrist .....but he is a nice prospect.

Below are afridis records If a player can keep up his strike rate for 216 one days in scoring 4700 runs, he has done something marvelous, look for your self the records of Afridi, 449 fours and 213 sixes a splendid effort, he has a score of more than 50 in every 9th innings he plays , looks a good enough consistancy for an entertainer I never recognise him a class player , the biggest benefit is his fielding and aggressive bowling and an attitude which all other cricketing nations admire, a great man to have in any one day side!

ya reality bites Martyn's SR in ODI [50 over match] is 78... but As of now in 20:20 Match he's Strike rate is about 160 to 170 ,,,, this shows that every batsman is capable of slogging ,, but only they are not foolish to let their team suffer in 50 over match ,,,just to have the highest SR in the world. I rest my case here. ------------- "I go by present and present says - Sachin IS the BEST , Shewag is going to be the next best and Dhoni's is gonna rock the world with his brutal assaults - GOD help the rest of the world" |

WOW! That's one long discussion and I actually read every single post in it after the one that I made yesterday!
Anyway, I agree with wiseguy, Afridi is more aggressive then Dhoni, and I don't even know why you people (Krisdy and MiNiWaRnEy) are argueing that. Let me tell you guys(Krisdy and MiNiWaRnEy) something. "Aggression is defined as*The act of initiating hostilities or invasion.*The practice or habit of launching attacks.*Hostile or destructive behavior or actions." No one displays that definition as good as Afridi. Aggression is simply what the definition says and you guys cannot change the definition. No where does it say anything about consistency being a part of aggression! So now, you guys (Krisdy and MiNiWaRnEy) can just shut up! ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

I believe everyone should stick to records, we all have are favourites, but it does not mean they are the best, these guys quote records whenevr favour their argument and beat about their views whensome one else has better stats. |

Exactly! I already stated the definition of aggression and that is best displayed by Afridi's record. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

okie ,,,I hope afridi plays like he has been playing for all these years ,, averaging 17 overseas ,, and 27 in Asian subcontinet ,, still with SR of about 108. It good for all other the teams ,, I just hope he increases his SR to 115 or 120 coz obviously in doing so his avg will further fall to 15 to 20 all time. I am happy with dhoni's avg of 45+ and 103+ SR ;shewag's avg 33+ and SR of 97+ ;sachin's avg 44+ and SR 85+ etc etc ------------- "I go by present and present says - Sachin IS the BEST , Shewag is going to be the next best and Dhoni's is gonna rock the world with his brutal assaults - GOD help the rest of the world" |

Well, FINALLY...its about time you stop arguing the fact that Afridi is the most aggressive batsman in the world.
Anyway, I don't like Afridi's over-aggression at all. It is useless. Look at his poor average of 24. That is disgusting. He is so aggressive but he isn't consistent and that makes him useless as a batsman. Dhoni has a SR of over 100 but he has an amazing ODI average of 45. That's outstanding. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

oh ,, I was browsing through all the so called great's of cricket in both forms of the game ,, both in ODI and test ... fianlly My faith has re-inforced ,,, when you see SR+AVG in ODI's and AVG in Tests ,,, really only two players are the best for all these years Sachin followed by Lara ..... yes my Golden bracket has to be modified {1st Sachin,2nd Lara ,and no one else} ------------- "I go by present and present says - Sachin IS the BEST , Shewag is going to be the next best and Dhoni's is gonna rock the world with his brutal assaults - GOD help the rest of the world" |

Actually your 'Golden Bracket would also have to include Ponting as he has a better ODI and Test average than Lara. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

yes ,, if he performs like this for anathor 3-4 years he might overtake sachin and Lara on final counts ------------- "I go by present and present says - Sachin IS the BEST , Shewag is going to be the next best and Dhoni's is gonna rock the world with his brutal assaults - GOD help the rest of the world" |

Well, he's already over-taken Sachins Test average which has been on the drop lately. He has a better test average then both Lara and Sachin and he has a better ODI average then Lara. If he continues like this, then he will over-take Sachin and Lara in no time. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |
