Afridi Left Out Of The One Day Squad?!?!?!?!

School Boy/Girl Cricketer
When he gets his batting average above 10 and shows some mild form of intelligence he'll be recalled. Until then he doesn't deserve a spot.

Does that mean he'll soon become the first player to get to 5000 ODI runs whilst averaging less than 25?

For the record, only 1 other person in history has had enough chances to get to 5000 ODI runs whilst averaging under 30 - Shahid is really setting records here!

he'll only make that record if he opens in these next 2 matches

he can really kill this windies attack

it is good to see him in the team
but he shuld be played in number 6 or 7. if they needed to score fast in top order then they can promote afridi. else he is good in 6 or 7.

Fair enough then, if he is genuinely staking a claim due to good form then I don't have a problem with it.

20 odd wickets at an average around 10.

They should play Afridi at 7 or 8. He's a good lower order slogger, but I wold pick him more as a bowler until he shows he's going to be serious with the bat.

No he'll make that record regardless of where he bats, unless he's permanently dropped before he scores another 121 runs (which on his current form will take another 12-15 games)
