You just have to love the theatre of the man.
He gets thrown the ball from Misbah with one of his first offerings sailing high over mid on for 6 courtesy of Dinesh Chandimal. Then unfazed, he goes back to the top of his mark and bowls Chandimal an unplayable googly trapping him plumb in front
Arms raised in the middle of the pitch in a typical Afridi pose oozing that unique charismatic aura with the crowd going gonzo in appreciation of him.
I must admit, I am one of his hugest critics, mainly due to my old mans view of the game. That is so stuck in traditions, and so adverse to accepting the necessary flash that has so accompanied the changes in the Modern age. That he embodies and masters arguably better than anyone.
His batting might have diminished in consistency of late, but my word is his bowling lethal.
An average of 23.17 with an economy rate of 4.06 and a strike rate of 34.02 from his 20 ODI games in 2011 shows this cobra like threat
Away from his individual performance, you cannot ever ignore his sincere meaning to the Team.
His exile whether justified or not hurt the feel in the Team. In regards to you cannot deny the complete and unconditional respect the Pakistan Team has for their Captain Misbah ul Huq. Though Afridi is the fire to compliment Misbah ice. In terms of the unique inspiration he gives to all through he supreme X-factorness.
Making Pakistan a Team that can go BOOM BOOM to any opposition in the ODI arena.
