Re: Who will break afridi record?

I don't think Dhoni Sehwag or Gilchrist have quite the degree of craziness Afridi has/d. But then who would have thought anyone would score 100 in 37 before he did it!

Do they count extras (no balls, wides) that a batsman receives in the ball count?

Re: Who will break afridi record?

I think they count the no balls .. not sure about wides.

Re: Who will break afridi record?


a run made on wide balls would be "bye" so nothing for batsman, but a run made on no ball by playing a shot would be counted towards batsman's score.

Re: Who will break afridi record?

^ I meant will they count those balls to arrive at how many balls it took to score a century?

Say I score a century facing 100 balls, which included 3 no balls, 2 wides. So is that a century in 100 or 95?

Re: Who will break afridi record?

Wides cannot be counted, but if the batsman scored runs on a no-ball then I'm sure that would be counted in the number of balls faced

Re: Who will break afridi record?

A line call of No-ball (not the second bouncer in an over) is counted against the batsman. Wide is NOT. So, Mr Crum would have scored 100 in 98 balls (if the 3 no-balls were because the bowler over-stepped and NOT bouncers over the head).

Re: Who will break afridi record?

not breaking it is different from not being able to break it.

there are a half-dozen power hitters in international cricket that have the ability to do it. the problem is that most of them have at least some semblance of a brain.

but yes, i don't think it will be broken anytime soon. in all seriousness, it isn't a record i would ever feel comfortable with an indian trying to break.

Re: Who will break afridi record?

dhoni is the only one that stands a good chance... and thats only if he comes in at #3 which i highly doubt... so i dont think it will happen ... o well ... here goes...

Re: Who will break afridi record?

^ that's a bit counterintuitive. If he is going to score a 100 in 36 balls, why does he have to come in at #3? As long as he has some 15 overs (6 for him and 9 for the other end), should be adequate!

32

Re: Who will break afridi record?

dhoni cant start hitting from the very first ball and once u have wasted even one over to get set, the record is out of reach....

33

Re: Who will break afridi record?

Ok, so fastest two hundered will be under threat sometime........
and you never know against Kenya, he may not need to settle down........ :-)...
