I think your right mate, I totaly agree with you.Hsn said:I think it is a sensible decision by him. He is an attacking batsman, and he should focus on that aspect of the game until after the World Cup. Remember, this is no permanent retirement, only temporary from what I've read at Cricinfo: "Shahid Afridi has announced a temporary `retirement' from Test cricket."
Having said that, I will miss the entertainment he so often provided in a very slow paced game (Test matches). =)

m_vaughan said:To be very honest it doesnt make much sense. I can understand a 34 or 35 year old retiring from one form to concentrate on the other form of the game. But how old is Afridi?
Also I do not agree with the fact that since he is an attacking player, he should focus on ODIs. If thats the case, players like Sehwag, Gilchrist, Pietersen and Kemp should also do the same. But have you seen Sehwag's form in ODIs lately? And how often has Gilchrist saved Australia with his attacking batting in test matches. Pietersen was crucial in England's Ashes win. Afridi too is an important player in the Pakistan test team, and can be extremely dangerous coming in at number 6.
