Hey rediff, can't you guys hire a proof-reader for your messed up, irritating, erroneous articles & reports?
No, why I am saying that right now (for the skillionth time) is because AFRIDI HOLDS THE RECORD FOR THE FASTEST CENTURY IN ODI in cricketing history, NOT the "second-fastest century" record as you've wrongly stated there! You dig?
Here are the stats, you dorkheads:
Fastest centuries in ODIs 37 Shahid Afridi (Pak) v Sri Lanka at Nairobi in 1996 45 Brian Lara (WI) v Bangladesh at Dhaka in 1999 45 Shahid Afridi (Pak) v India at Kanpur in 2005 48 Sanath Jayasuriya (SL) v Pakistan at Singapore in 1998 62 Mohammad Azharuddin (I) v New Zealand at Baroda in 1988 67 John Davison (Can) v West Indies at Centurion in 2003 67 Basit Ali (Pak) v West Indies at Sharjah in 1993 68 Ijaz Ahmed (Pak) v India at Lahore in 1997 68 Yousuf Youhana (Pak) v Zimbabwe at Harare in 2002 69 Virender Sehwag (I) v New Zealand at Colombo in 2001 69 Kevin Pietersen (Eng) v South Africa at East London in 2005
Dear Mr. Afridi, You are the Markandayen of Cricket. I belive you gain 1 year age for every two calendar years. I love your batting. But please keep your big shots against all other countries and not when you play against India. Take care while you bowl (throw) your faster ones. I hear that you are throw your faster ones faster than Shoib's fastest delivery.
