Afridi voted cricketer of the decade by ESPN Star

[GoldenAsif]

@samb

goes to show how low the standards have gotten. a man whose bowling average is higher than his batting average is the cricketer of the decade. what a joke. and then to win against the likes of Ponting, Warne. even bigger joke. Warne whatever his age is now is still kicking arse in IPL. now that is a legend.

and Afridi is not even good enough to ask Wasim permission to shine Wasim’s shoes. Wasim was a god who had the world at his feet - a man capable of doing magic when he pleased. Afridi is a bacha jamoora whose aik rupaa aik rupaa do dhar waala bacha dekho show might amuse kids but it is not cricket.

Agreed 100%

What a farce but as pointed out by Man with a Plan these poll results are based on popularity rather than actual performance/greatness as a player

I can list atleast 30-40 players who were better players than Afridi over the past two decades.

I mean just look at the Australians - McGrath, Warne, Ponting, Hayden, Gilchrist, Mark Taylor, Lee etc.. Is Afridi better than any of them? Most certainly not
