Shahid Afridi AND HIS INFLUENCE ON PAKISTANI CRICKET

[Cobra]

Going Back to October 1996 and Watching Shahid AFRIDI for the first time against SRI LANKA where he hit the whirlwind 100 off 37 Balls really opened my eyes and i remember thinking what a magical feat that was.

i cant remember the number of times i have been disillusioned with Pakistani cricket but have turned up to watch them just to get a glimpse of the great man trying to hit a ball out of the park.

What a great cricketer he is.

Even David Beckham or the greatest footballer can't "Thrill" Like Afridi.

How many people on this forum would agree with me and say Afridi is one of the only reasons they probably like Pakistani Cricket?

if only we had a team of 11 Afridi's

: afridi

[Sledger]

Afridi & Akhtar are the only resons to follow the ODI team now.

[Cobra]

and Possibly Nazir if he was here....

but Afridi the Monster!

[Noork85]

hes part of the reason i started watching cricket. i thought he was very handsome and then i got sucked into pakistani cricket. i do regret it, but its an addiction at this point and dont know when and if ill ever rid myself of it.

[TigerJat]

he is one cricketer that numbers cannot justify his importance to the side

he is very very unpredictable, and that is what makes him so exciting

Test match result: "Pakistan didn't turn out for the match."

[Cobra]

does anybody remember the great test match he had in Bangalore in 2006?

[Down2Earth]

even when akhtar's 55, i'd still see him run in and bowl

not sure about some leggies

[Cobra]

Afridis been blasting attacks for 14 years.....may it continue for at least another 10 years!

Insha Allah

EXACTLY...now you know why we love AFRIDI

[Kray_jackson7]

[iRfaN_LA]

^ damn ! Akhtar looking old, look at those white hair on face.

Back to topic, Afridi is arguably the #1 entertainer in cricket world right now. Probably the most famous celebrity of Pakistan after Imran Khan.

[cricket_fever]

afridi is and always be one of the most influencial and adored cricketers

[tanzeel]

Akhtar is a treat to watch. Afridi is someone I find pretty boring because usually he doesn't stick around on the crease long enough for any excitement to build up and his bowling can get repetitive after a while. Also, in terms of personality and sheer presence, he just doesn't compare to Akhtar.

+1

[UmarAkmals-fan]

sorry guys but afridis INFLUENCE ON PAKISTANI is comming to the end ..a new legend is taking over pak cricket like a wild fire

[NJamal]

Afridi had given us lots of moments of joy and excitement and will INSHALLAH give us more.

i just hope he can stay away from his brother and salman butt...hopefully he wont see them at a cricket ground for a very long time!!!!!!

[Cobra]

lol@umar akmal
hes still got a very very long way to go until he catches up with the legend

Shahid Afridi!

[Prince_Pathan]

of course ...well mainly because of imran khan...but afridi and shoaib akhtar were the two

[Cobra]

Imran Khan was another...but was only fortuanate to watch him in one tournament and what a tournament it was

World Cup 1992

[Noork85]

i liked the way umar akmal played in the final test. fearless. only if asif had stayed on the defensive track then maybe he wouldve made his 100.

[Cobra]

Yeah But Maybe Asif had money to lose if Umar Akmal made his Hundred

Oops there i go again

[Afridi_Fan]

All I can say is.

Ji Oye Lala.

Di Oye Lala.

[Cobra]

AFRIDI FAILED TODAY

which means he will have a point to prove in the t20's!
