Re: Why is it difficult to rein in Afridi ?
These are my thoughts on Afridi at the end of day's play, taken in context from the thread of first test match.
I personally think Afridi was given a message back in the dressing room to play safe and sound, as I see this is as a huge momentum change, before and after tea.The previous session saw Afridi retaining strike at the end of each over, and immediately after (tea), Inzamam has been desperate to see the first ball of almost every over. This is an excellent move, and will allow more time for the partnership to develop.
