Most people in Pakistan wanted Afridi to lead Pakistan in the world cup. And he has got the role, finally. But few people know that he has a pathetic record in world cup matches.
In his 12 world cup matches, he has taken only seven wickets. His batting record is even worse. He has scored 125 runs in 11 innings at an average of 11.36. His highest score is 37.
But the way he blasted New Zealand’s bowlers twice in the recently concluded one-day series once again reminded us of his skills. If he excels with both bat and ball, he can turn any match around. His batting in the last one year has remained much better than his previous 13 years in one-day cricket.
