Re: Afridi's new record

He needs to work on his pathetic average. I rather see his average go then overtake Jaysuriya in the number of sixes.

Re: Afridi’s new record

he bats at number 7 and lately his average has been around 40-45 considering his 56 not out performance

and hes mainly in the team as a bowler and pinch hitter at ding moments .. so he needs all those chakkays under his belt … for the good of both himself and the team.

a1kashur:

Most sixes in career
Name Mat I NO Runs HS Ave 100 SR 6s 6s/I Team
ST Jayasuriya 334 325 14 9924 189 31.90 18 88.57 188 0.57 SL 
Shahid Afridi 197 188 9 4299 109 24.01 3 105.03 187 0.99 PAK 
One more sixer and Afridi gets another record to his name. Go Afridi!

most important, Afridi has played only 197 games as compare to Jayasuriya’s 334. Afridi is hitting at the strike of (almost) a six a match. :biggthumb

Afridi sets new world mark with 190 sixes in ODIs

KARACHI: Pakistan’s dashing all-rounder Shahid Afridi on Friday set another world mark in One-day International (ODIs) history when he hit his 190th sixer during his 26-run cameo against Australia in the first of VB-series best-of-three finals.
Pinch-hitter Afridi surpassed the record of Sanath Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka who had achieved the feat in 325 ODI innings. Afridi achieved the mark in only his 189th innings.

The 24-year-old Afridi, who propelled to fame as a teenager in 1996 when he blasted the fastest ever one-day hundred against Sri Lanka at Nairobi by scoring century off mere 37 balls.

Prior to the first final at Melbourne, the Karachi-born Afridi needed just two more sixes to create a new world record and he did it style in when he lifted medium pacer Andrew Symonds over square leg to the amazement of over 27,000 spectators at the MCG.

Following is list of batmen who have hit 100 or more sixes in ODIs (batsman, country, matches, innings, not out, runs, highest score, strike rate, sixes):
