Shahid Afridi burst on
to the cricket scene in 1996. He was selected for his leg spin bowling
but created history by scoring the fastest ODI hundred in his first
innings. He was sent up the order to try to score quick runs and that he
surely did by scoring a hundred in 37 balls. Such a remarkable feat by a
16 year old turned him in to a super star over night. He has continued
to focus on scoring fast instead of focusing on preserving his wicket.
His single minded focus on throwing the kitchen sink at every delivery
makes for very interesting viewing as anything can happen. His all out
quest for glory or bust has earned him legions of fans in Pakistan.
However, he has had to pay for having the highest strike rate in ODI
cricket in terms of being under severe scrutiny for having a low
average. When his heroics fail he is usually dropped from the Pakistan
team only to come back stronger and earn back his place. He has earned
all his fame due to his dare devil batting but he has also distinguished
himself as a handy legbreak bowler with a wicked quicker delivery that
clocks up to 80 mph. His aggressive bowling and athletic fielding has
helped him stay in the team at times when his batting has failed him.
