Shahid Afridi currently the 3rd Highest ODI wicket taker in 2011

[chui_kadoo]

Shahid Afridi has been amazing with the ball in 2011 and is placed at number 3 for the highest number of wickets taken in ODI's.
He has 34 wickets so far this year with an amazing economy rate of 3.96.
If he continues this form for another 3 years then he will go past Waqar Younis's tally of 412 wickets in ODI's

Most wickets Player Mat Inns Overs Mdns Runs Wkts BBI Ave Econ SR 4 5

SL Malinga (SL) 22 21 173.4 10 858 46 6/38 18.65 4.94 22.6 0 3

MG Johnson (Aus) 22 22 184.1 10 817 39 6/31 20.94 4.43 28.3 2 1

Shahid Afridi (Pak) 22 21 187.1 9 743 34 5/16 21.85 3.96 33.0 2 2

Go Lala Go. I hope you go past both Waqar and Wasim and become the highest wicket taker for Pakistan.

What a sher :afridi

[dhump]

cheetah imagine if he played all the ODIs Pakistan played this year.

[kkmix]

I was being trolled on when I said he is one of the best bowler in the world currently.

[violet_may]

^
I think that's because people were talking about his career average no?

Yes but he said currently.

& great achievement. No doubt he would have been first had he played the 5 games he missed.

[chui_kadoo]

Yes he missed both the Zimbabwe and Ireland ODI series. Just imagine how many more wickets he would have had If he had played both series. Thats 5 games he missed. I am sure he would have got atleast 10 wickets in them. He would have 44 wickets by now.

Never mind. There is still the Bangladesh ODI series coming up in December.
I am sure he can grab a few more there as well.

Who is "he"? The OP? I know the OP in this thread said currently, which makes sense.

I am talking about another thread where some were saying that Afridi deserves to be in the team based on his bowling. That's where kkmix is saying he was getting "trolled on."

Some were pulling out stats which I believe were not for the year 2011 to argue? :13:

Anyways, that's what I was referring to in kkmix's post.

Don't be negative. :afridi

This thread is about Afridi's dominance in the bowling department in the year 2011 so let's just keep it to that. :D

[violet_may]

Lol D_J

When did I say it's not? That's what I am saying. Based on current performance, he deserves to be in the team based on his bowling. But some people were pulling career-wise stats to argue otherwise. Anyways, I think I am derailing this thread aren't I? I shall stop posting :moyo

[Desi_Joker]

Anything wrong with my original post?

Where do I start!?

First of all it's not an anti-Afridi thread...

secondly it's not an anti-Afridi thread...

And well, I guess, we can finally conclude that it's not an anti-Afridi thread.

Do you see what's wrong with your thread now?

keep going Afridi!!

[Sherlock]

Yeah but....When will Afridi win the game when the team is in crisis?

:))):P

[attock]

Afridi has been bowling really really well....:afridi

[SwingNSeam]

One of the best bowler, player, out there. I think his twin spin combo with Ajmal is what makes both these guys so dangerous, and hard to play because of their varieties.

[Looney]

1st and 3rd odi he played well in and Pakistan won both


i think the 3rd Man of Match should have also gone to him for his brilliant fielding and bowling today

[spoiled]

there are hardly doubts over his bowling

wish he bowled in tests

[Zamee]

Oh boy, another " Christmas come early " thread for some mixed and confused individuals :)

Well you r the one who is confused by Afridi's match winning performances!!
I can feel for u :)))

One more thread on PP that will give Zaid65 nightmares for yet another week. Why OP? Dont you feel for the poor guy?? :(

Your avatar causing pain? Ha.

After 2 games he won the central contract, just calculate in your tuk tuk land how many games will it take the PCB to give him what is truly his. :afridi

[saeedhk]

Nice lala

[M.A.G]

The current afridi, is an incridible leg spinner and usefull late hitter. he produce wickets in the most toughtest of times in the middle order. His tactic, to bowl fast and quick between every ball and be unpredictibe and not give many runs, its amazing. i would love to have him as a second spin bowler in test, his bat will be a bonus.

[taxzu]

i think waqar was afraid that afridi will break his wickets record thats why he wanted afridi out of team. And the kind of character waqar is I fully expected this from him.

[Momo]

Lala rocks! :afridi

[akberc]

In the first phase of his career, Afridi was a strike batsman and part-time stock bowler.

In the second phase, he is an outstanding strike bowler with occasional pinch-hitting.

All-rounders go through phases like this -- look at Imran Khan. Does the batting career averages for Imran reflect his batting contributions in the second half of his career?

So, please split his 'career' averages separately over the two phases and you will see the difference.

Which category is he in?

[chui_kadoo]

i think waqar was afraid that afridi will break his wickets record thats why he wanted afridi out of team. And the kind of character waqar is I fully expected this from him.
I get the same feeling. He only needs 90 odd wickets more to go past Waqar.

I reckon Afridi will get past 40 wickets for this year. If Afridi continues this form I expect him to go past Waqar some time in early 2014.

Remember folks Afridi is only 31 years young. He can play for another 7-8 years. Wasim Akram retired near 38.
This means 7 years of more cricket he could get 280 more wickets and reach the milestone of 600.

Anything is possible with Lala.

So this means Afridi is the most valuable player in 2011 as he will have the most wickets and a good amount of runs behind him.

[Square Drive]

So InshaAllah by the end of Bangladesh ODIs, Lala's gonna be first.

:afridi

[Free Hit]

^ ofcourse!

[bforme]

Hope he completes 50 wickets.

[NJamal]

He will Insha Allah get 50 wickets in ODIs in 2011 and get the ODI player of the year award.

[sawal]

He will Insha Allah get 50 wickets in ODIs in 2011 and get the ODI player of the year award.

Lol

Odi player of the award is for duration from august-august or something like that, its not from Jan-Dec

[NJamal]

Lol

So what the way he is performing he will be the leading candidate for that award. Why are you showing your teeth?

[sawal]

I dont think so he will be that consistent for one year
Also if he doesnt retire again lol

[chui_kadoo]

If he does reach 50 wickets this year that would be some acheivement.
He needs 5 more wickets and has 2 more games to get them in.

[sawal]

Whats the highest by a Pakistani in a calender year

[AmmarAshraf]

[chui_kadoo]

Check out Saqlain. he got 65 wickets in 1996 and 69 wickets in 1997.
Seems like he was performing brilliantly in the late 90's.

Its a shame his International career came to a premature an end at the age of 26-27

[sawal]

Thanks bro

[TalhaSyed]

So Afridi had a poor day with the ball today which means he needs 4 wickets in the last ODI to level first with Malinga & needs a Five wicket haul to become the leading ODI wicket taker of the year!

Who thinks he can do it?

Malinga 49 WIckets in 2011 (No more games)
Afridi 45 Wickets in 2011 (1 more game left)

PS. Moda i think there was another thread on this but cant find it :$
PPS. Can we block Zaid from this thread? :yk

EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention this was in ODI's

Didn't Afridi has career best bowling against minnow today? :)

PS: With word " Afridi" in thread, you can control Zaid but his soul is beyond anybody's control. Yeh jang hum jeet kar rehain gey thaakur :)

[kamran_uk]

Bro Malinga has 48 i think not 49

[sam]

Hasn't Malinga got 48?

[chui_kadoo]

Afridi still on 45 wickets after todays game. He has one more game to bag atleast 3 wickets to be joint leader with Malinga.

Can he do it Folks?

[TalhaSyed]

Knew I had read a thread about this somewhere!

Haha and I knew youd be here!
What about the other 40 wickets?
Infact what about the other 430 wickets in his career?

And bro I have no idea what Jang your talking about
Its sad enough that our own so called fans have to fight 'jangs' against our own players (let alone players who have played in the side for 15 years)
But im intrigued...tell me something zaid...after a 15 year long career and being only the 2nd all rounder in history to get more then 300 wickets and 6000 runs in ODIs along with many other accolades eg. Fastest century, MOM in T20 SF & Final etc etc...exactly what could happen at this stage for you to win this 'jang'?

[Love Pakistan]

Haha man i love how this is the third thread in whcih you have blatantly ignored my respond to your posts...This thread along with the "Why has pakistan performing well lately" & the thread about ajmal taking the most wickets in a year
...and now im sure youll come up with some uncle jii response along the lines of "mey bancho ko khush rehyna deyta hoon"
Koi nah uncle jii
Im sure afridi or afridi family members have done something to greatly offend you in the past and you have some reason for your unhealthy obbsesive hatred towards him

[chui_kadoo]

i heard a catch was dropped off afridis bowlign today, is it true??
yes Hafeez dropped a catch off him that should have been taken. You catch those 90 out 100 times.
Thats Hafeez for you. He has a tendancy to irritate you at times.

[chui_kadoo]

Afridi played his last game today this year. Unfortunately he did not add to his tally in the last 2 games and blew his chance to go to the top. Well gutted.
