Your Favourite Shahid Afridi Innings

[majid786]

salam, i was just curious to find out your fave inns of boom boom aka THE BEAST.

for me it has to be the sensational 45-ball 100 against the indians, the series was level 2-2 and although 250 was a small target he was still under quite some pressure due to his own form despite hammering a whirlwind 23 ball 40 in his previous inns.

[PlanetPakistan]

Chennai 99, Nairobi 96 and Kanpur 05 stand out.

p.s there are a lot of non muslim posters here too

99 chennai was a classic on a crumbling surface AGAINST THE LIKES OF KUMBLE AND SRINATH

96 nairobi was also a gem DID U SEE THE SIXES HE HIT MOST OF THE WENT OUT OF THE STADIUM.

05 kanpur is by far my fave HE SENT KUMBLE INTO AN EARLY RETIREMENT.

96 nairobi was also a gem DID U SEE THE SIXES HE HIT MOST OF THE WENT OUT OF THE STADIUM.

I have that match on VHS, but unfortunately cant locate the tape. Will have a hunt around again for it and hopefully we can get it uploaded on PP Videos on youtube.

And what about Ravi Shastri´s commentary ???: "Full-toss gets the treatment, six! Bang again! The Pathan is on fire!"

[swaziboy]

has to be the kanpur innings where he was unstoppable

those are the type on innings you see once in a blue moon

[Gunner786]

my favourite afridi innings is that chennai 100

he should have been man of the match and not tendulkar

[lodge_boy]

(2005)Kanpur one definately where he scored 102 off just 45 balls. lol the most funyy thing on that day was the indians crowd faces. That look on the faces was priceless

[Crucifier]

Kanpur. No doubt about it. Pure massacre. Everything was sailing into the crowds, and there was a shot of an Indian fan with a large mustache, holding his chin with his hand, in pure disbelief

He silenced the Indian crowd with brutal hitting that day.

[Indiafan]

aah nostalgia, nothing like it. If only the good old days were back

[shahidrazzaq]

Kanpur: Pure Massacre
Chennai: Pure Batting
Nairobi: Pure Hitting
Sharjah: Pure Smacking

All four of his centuries were classics.

[Afridi_Fan]

Anytime he has gone Past 50 is a memorable knock.But Kanpur and Chenni really stand out

[Raz]

For ones I have watched life, it was to be the Kanpur Massacre. 45 balls of pure and utter carnage and an innings in which he dominated every single bowler he faced.

[MaVeRiCk]

ta be honest i cudn't give a $%$% about him or his innings. ~There no need for a player that can't learn form his mistakes, or in fact play for the team. hes a failure and an ultimate disaster

[Hash]

Kanpur was my favourite. The looks on the faces in the crowd alone made it worth it.

how bout his 78-ball 100 at lahore in 2006 where he demolished harbhajan for 6 6 6 6 2 1

[majid786]

chennai was a SENSIBLE knock from the beast and i have to admit he does not play like that to often so it was special and yes he deserved the man of the match.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

The chennai 141 was the only knock of Afridi that I rate in tests alongside that quickfire 58 he hit in bangalore in the last series to set up 261 in 50 overs despite yasir's best efforts to give us ample time to bowl India out and draw the series. As far as ODI knocks go I think his 50's against Australia were far better knocks than his slogfest 100's

[W63L35]

109 at Toronto ..........I was there. Watched it in person! He was out in 26th over.

My favourite was when he went out first ball in the 20/20 Final

Fav innings for me was the 127 (something) he made against theWwindies in Jamaica(or guyana)..showed true class, maturity and technique in that innings..he stood like a rock when everything fell apart for Pakistan in that game

[P4K1 #1]

Kanpur Massacre

[Super Misbah]

My favourite afridi innings has to be the one he lead us to victory against india in an odi recently

[The Blazer]

The sub-atomic genocide against New Zealand at Sharjah. Oh God, when he decided to take Styris to the cleaners...

[Sparhawk]

The 45 ball 100 vs India. It had a little bit of everything, the best part was when kumble came on at the start and afridi hit him for 20+ runs in his first over. It was like take ten wickets against us will you?

[DM]

http://www.mediafire.com/?0t1tkhwnj0f

77 off 35 balls.

Everyone PLEASE watch this.

Thank you to Usman for the clip, which is of good quality.

This is an enormously stunning massacre of South African human bowlers at high quality including butchering Nel for 45 runs in a single ball that went to the moon, sweeping the mighty Ntini for a humiliating shot for his fifty that would make any mortal fast bowler grovel on his knees, see Woolmer's reaction after that shot! Barbarically massacring perfectly good deliveries straight down the ground off any wooden part of his genocidal club. Detonating yorkers, the conventionally failsafe stock for fast bowlers, to their ultimate doom.


In addition to this and others mentioned above, I absolutely love his ritual annihilation of Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath (that led to Ponting shielding him from Afridi for the rest of the series) and the other bowlers during the 2005 ODI series in Australia.

[Tupac]

[DM]

This innings was an absolutely phenomenal one, and is much better in quality and nature than any listed so far:

this one was pretty amazing as well (and he barely touched the ball!):
