again that is my point of view and the way i see it. that doesn't mean it is true or not. i can give u some example to prove it why i think this way. i am from afghanistan and afghans don't like cricket. they say when they watch cricket they never see any batsman hiting the ball. when these people watch players like shahid afridi, Dohni, Gilgrist, lara and other big stroke player players, they get intersested in cricket game and start watching the game. at least that is how i start watching cricket. well maybe i am overstating the meaning of conterbution here. what i meant by conterbution to cricket here was that they are making people who aren't cricket fans, interested in the game of cricket. that is what i mean by conterbuting when i say players like afrid conterbutes to the cricket game.Yeah, that's your opinion regarding what's entertaining and what's not. Personally, I disagree with all of it, but hey, you can think that if you wish - cricketing taste is seperate from cricketing understanding.
But even though you may enjoy Afridi as a player, you do have to realise that he's vastly inferior to the likes of Dravid, regardless of how entertaining you find him.
What really gets my goat though, is the comment "they have conterbuted more to cricket than kallis and Dravid ever would." That comment is just completely wrong IMO, and that's what "makes my cry" as I said.
