I'd do it privately for a start. Remember at the end of the day it's James's site (and in my opinion a great one) and it's a bit like the old bartender's prerogative "The licensee reserves the right to refuse to serve....".

It's possibly a total misunderstanding with respect to your motives, and one which can easily be resolved, but looking for support and debating the matter on a public forum isn't going to help your case. Sorry. I must confess that I haven't gone right the way back to read everything and I don't plan to (since a warning could well mean that the original message(s) have been removed).

Far from it - James is a great bloke who works tirelessly to make this one of the fun places to visit on the web. He has to be very careful, though. If someone performs an illegal or questionable activity whilst making use of the facilities of the site, then questions could be asked in his direction.

Some areas of the law are vague to say the least, that is why he errs on the side of caution. If he's a little rough on occasion, it's probably because it's the same reply as he's made any number of times in the past. Some people can try the patience of a saint, and no, I'm not pointing any fingers here. It's just that sometimes no ought to mean no without need for public examination and explanation.

As I've said before, by all means take it off list.

Afridi sets a new world record

Rajneesh Gupta | April 16, 2005 12:14 IST


Pakistan opener Shahid Afridi was at his attacking best as he took just 45 balls to reach his hundred in the fifth match of the six-match one-day international series in Kanpur on Friday. This is now the fastest hundred against India and the second joint fastest hundred in all one-day internationals.

West Indies batting ace Brian Lara had also scored a 45-ball century, against Bangladesh at Dhaka in 1999-00. The record for the fastest century also belongs to Afridi, when he had notched up a 37-ball hundred against Sri Lanka at Nairobi in 1996-97.

However the most significant aspect of Afridi's innings was the number of boundaries hit by him. During his stay at the wicket, Afridi hit 10 boundaries and nine sixes, which means 94 runs came in boundaries out of his innings of 102 -- which amounts to an incredible 92.15 percent of runs in boundaries.

A thorough research into the details of all the 756 hundreds scored so far in one-day internationals reveals the fact that Afridi's performance is the best-ever in ODIs in terms of the percentage of runs scored in boundaries.

Afridi also held the previous record, when he had made 88.24% of his runs in boundaries during his record breaking 102 against Sri Lanka at Nairobi in 1996-97.

should be in the top ten ,but im a bit surprised how the 37 ball hundred by afridi has 88% of boundries and the 45 ball one has 92 %

Not a huge difference. He wasnt running AT ALL.

That's because in the last match Afridi took FAR too long to get his eye in. All of the first six balls he faced

What are the chances that the Indian bowlers will realise that ninety percent of his shots ar played off the front foot and eighty percent of his runs come from front foot drives in two areas !
