    “Congratulations.

    However, I must say that Afridi was much more talented and was capable of greater feats. Who can foget his 37 ball century?

    Though he has managed a long innings and has served Pakistani cricket for years, he was considered an exceptional cricketer in his prime and he failed to do justice with his potential.” Indian Muslim
