afridi cms to be in a form of his life for pakistan and thats the 1st time he is batting like that after a few years.
he has blasted scores of 56*(26), 48(37), 30(13), 23(10) so far. what is best about afridi is that he does not care about the ball and bowler and looks to hit a 6 off every ball. his best shot was a 6 in the 9th vb series match v wi, where afridi hit a 6 by a mere flick of the wrist. most of afridi's sixes reach the 2nd or 3rd tier in the seating rows showing that his 6s r longer than 6s of most other batsman. his 30 off 13 balls was the most important innings as it came when pak were almost loosing. pak, needed to score over 7 an over with 12 overs left and 4 wk in hand. afridi's knock, helped pak, bring the rrr down to 5.
