stats say - AFRIDI  is more aggressive , and stats are facts.

        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
2000 runs - jun 99
3000 runs - oct 2000
4000 runs - sep 2004
203 mat,avg - 24,4 hundreds,26 fifties,173 wkts

SHEWAG:

1000 runs - sep 2002
2000 runs - mar 2003
3000 runs - sep 2004
4000 runs - Nov 2005

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.

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.

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.

Afridi is a slogger. It's a hit or miss game for him. He hardly ever performs. Sehwag is aggressive and consistent.

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.

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.

Saad is there any other world cup involving only teams like

SL ,Pak, Bangla,Zim,WI , UAE,France,Kenya,Holland ,Ireland , canada,   etc etc...

Then ur words will definately come true.

Really Shewag was best, better than Afridi in all activities. Even in bowling also shewag had helped many times by his bowling too.

I also Loves Shewag and dislove s Afridi

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

I think they're both terrific and on their day can turn any match . Let's just say they are fine players.

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.

You are right Rind. Afridi is not as consistent as Sehwag but there is no doubt that he is much more aggressive than Sehwag.

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.

Yea, you are certainly correct. There is no one that has as much aggression as Afridi.

It's a fact that Afridi is more aggressive. That's why he isn't consistent, because he is too aggressive. He just wants every ball to go out of the ground.

Afridi is more aggressive than any other player in International cricket.

It's a fact, not an opinion.

As far as aggression is concerned,I wud go for Afridi..But sehwag is comparitively consistent and had a better technique eventhough his footwork is poor
