“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

100 % agreed to “Indian Muslim” who commented earlier as above.

I’d like to share an instance which made me more happy to be a Shahid Afridi fan. When he visited San Diego, California, on behalf of Islamic Relief efforts to collect funds for Pakistan’s earth quake victim, one gesture stood out which made many people there respect his heart more than his cricket. That was when at one juncture, we were trying meet a 10 minute goal of $25000 in pledges to get a matching of $25000 by an anonymous donor. Since we had already collected about $70K, donor’s fatigue had set in, and after $10K, there was a silence and it appeared we might not meet the goal of 25K in 10 minutes to get the matching. At this point, Shahid Afridi offered to donate $15K out of his own pocket so we don’t miss the matching. The host had to request him not to do as he had already pledged a big amount earlier in Atlanta, and the point of him visiting was to motivate others and not donate again himself. In the end, we did manage to generate 25K and got the matching without having to use Afiridi’s 15K offer, but that small gesture showed his big heart, and earned more respect than his match winning performances on the field.
