    Shahid Afridi - The bowler

    We also have a guy like Daniel Vettori, who everyone considers a pretty good bowler, and a guy who can hold the bat a bit as well. TESTS Matches: 80 Batting Average: 27.38 SR: 57.25 100s: 2 50's: 16 Bowling Average: 34.80 Econ: 2.6 SR: 78.2 Shahid Afridi: Batting Matches: 26 Innings: 46 NO...

    Shahid Afridi - The bowler

    Exactly. That is the key point. He is not just a bowler who will hold up an end. He is a wicket taking bowler. And he doesn't only take the wickets of tail enders, he takes key wickets at important times.

    Shahid Afridi - The bowler

    Well, just because it doesn't SEEM like he's bothered about making runs, he IS making runs, hence his average. The stats do not lie, he has played enough matches, and made enough runs for there to be enough information. We're not talking about someone who has played 2 games and has a high...

    Shahid Afridi - The bowler

    right, i suppose flintoff was never dropped in any of his 50's or 100's and flintoff never batted on a flat track. let's face it, most tracks in international cricket are flat tracks these days, and u can't blame the batsman for that. He has played half the matches of Flintoff, and has the...

    Shahid Afridi - The bowler

    You are right. Below stats are from over the past 4 years However Afridi's batting average improves too, whilst his bowling is slightly worse (average drop by about 3 rpw) Afridi: batting avg: 43 bowling 37.35 Flintoff: batting: 37.20 bowling 27.17

    The use of Long Sleeved shirts to mask chucking

    Sreesanth actually wears a shirt underneath, and its very tight around the arms. It's nto the loose fitting type that hides the chuck. and early on in his career he was short sleeved and wore multiple arm bands... idon't think his action was suspect.

    Shahid Afridi - The bowler

    Most people know, that he was initially brought into the team back in 1997 as a spin bowler. This all got lost in the hype of his super fast 100 and his amazing, albeit erratic batting abilities. I think Afridi has gone back to concentrating on his bowling, and he has been a VERY VERY...

    Saqlain Mushtaq vs Harbhajan Singh?

    How old is saqi now? Kaneria is proving quite innefective, and afridi is becoming a very very good leggy... Saqi would add some variety I've always been a Saqi fan, and i've met and talked to him, and he's a very nice guy.

    The use of Long Sleeved shirts to mask chucking

    Harbhajan Singh never bowls wearing a half sleeved shirt. Not even on the hottest day will you see Harbhajan bowling without wearing his long sleeved top. Shabbir Ahmed (i'm not 100% on this one), is another that I have personally noticed, who alwasy bowls with a long sleeved top. Now, this...

    Bhajji 'slaps' Sreesanth, leaves him cryin

    Think about it logically. Sreesanth is what, 23 years old? Something like that, i can't be botehred confirming it. Let's assume he has been training hard to play for India since he was 12 years old. So for 11 years cricket has been his life. His dream: Play for India. Now, by punching...

    Bhajji 'slaps' Sreesanth, leaves him cryin

    a grown up NON CONTACT sport. You don't see Sreesanth crying when people sledge him back. Andre Nel gave him a mouthfull in South AFrica last year, and Sree responded by hitting him back over his head for six. If it was someone like Ricky Ponting who hit Sreesanth, i'm sure Sree would have...

    Best left arm test seamer?

    Vaas over career, but these threads usually mean "at htis point in time" in which case it's got to be Sidebottom.
