Chance for afridi to play the maturest innings of his life

yeah, good to see hes not going all out to slog out. id really like to see these two guys make a game of it. most definitely wont happen, mind you

 

[superkingdave]

yeah, good to see hes not going all out to slog out.

sure about that?, 53 of 38 balls?

lol yeah when i had said it he hadnt done that much recently, and seemed to be slowing down. now hes really giving it some.

 

[superkingdave]

yeah it doesn't seem how he can be scoring so fast but its like an illusion because Kamal is playing out loads of dot balls. liked the way he got to his 50 tho

 

[SJS]

Not sure, I've only ever seen him with the crab stance... did he have another one?

He has always had this crab like crouch but facing 180 degrees face on to the bowler is not that old, I think.

 

[honestbharani]

No, it isn't. He didn't have his feet facing midwicket till 2000-2001, I think.

It's just a matter of time now, surely.

Which channel is showing it in India ?????

 

[deeps]

7 fours and 3 sixes in a score of 85

so that's only a tad over half his runs in boundaries....definately seems to be one of his more mature innings...but then look at the sr....130+

[deeps]

nervous nineties for afridi

could he get his 2nd test century?

 

[superkingdave]

5 fielders on the boundary, Afridi doesnt care and absolutely murders the ball onto the roof of the stand at midwicket. The fielder catches it off the roof.
