Well, almost. Take a look at this scorecard. Scroll down to the pakistani innings. A very similar sight to today’s game’s scorecard (5th ODI @ Kanpur). Only back then the assault was carried out by Ijaz Ahmed in an almost similar fashion to Afridi’s knock today: Both had 10 fours and 9 sixes in their centurion innings.
Ironically in that innings the one person who was Ijaz’s sidekick for a bigger part of the innings was none other than.. Shahid Afridi! (47 off 23 balls).

Nopes....
Afridi today was one in life time inning to watch. There are many innings of a 100 in 60to 70 calls.
I remember that inning from Ijaz, it was devastating but nothing compared to what Afridi did today....
Re: History repeated?
And back then it was the Pakistanis who were fined for slow over rates, rather than the Indians. :)
Re: History repeated?
I watched That match live and present at Qaddafi Stadium 
I still remeber standing 2hrs in long que and entering the stadium 1 hr earlier from the start fo match.
It was a treat to watch 
Actually Indians were quite relieved to get afridi out after blazing 47, but Ijaz Ahmed had somthing else in the mind 
It was most exciting match, I watched in stadium :k:
