But Afradi Is Record Holder

Just because Afridi holds the record for fastest ODI century (note that faster hundreds have been hit in domestic one day cricket), does not mean that he is the biggest hitter. It means he is a quick scorer.

But Afradi Is Record Holder

Does being the record for the fastest 100 mean he's the biggest hitter? No. Records have nothing to do with the 'biggest hitter'.

I'm baffled by the 'Afradi is Pathan and mad hitter' bit! What on earth does that mean? It's the second time you've mentioned this mad hitter thing kamran, whats it all about?!
Are you serious that you don't know who Andrew Flintoff is?

 

[kamrandahir]

i know who is Andrew Flintoff i extremely sorry for my review

 

[andrew_nixon]

i know who is Andrew Flintoff i extremely sorry for my review

So what does the "Afradi is Pathan and mad hitter" bit mean then?

I assume you're saying that Afridi is a Pathan, but what is a Pathan?

Alistair Brown surely, two double hundreds in OD cricket including one in a reduced overs match. 268 is his top score.

His other 200 wasn't in a reduced overs game, but it was in a 40 over game.

 

[Sureshot]

Well if someone where to correct me it would be you.

So i take it that was the old Sunday League?

Never thought it was 40 Overs per side.

Pathan, Pathans

(pet?nz?) , group of seminomadic peoples consisting of more than 60 tribes, numbering approximately 10 million in Pakistan and 6 million in Afghanistan, where they form the dominate ethnic group (historically known as Afghans and now typically as Pashtuns). Pathans are Muslims and speak Pashto (or Pushtu). They are also known as Pashtuns, Pushtuns, Pakhtuns, and Pakhtoons. The Pathans are noted as fierce fighters, and throughout history they have offered strong resistance to invaders. The British attempted to subdue the Pathans in a series of punitive expeditions in the late 19th and early 20th cent. but were finally forced to offer them a semiautonomous area (see North-West Frontier Province ) between the border of British India and that of Afghanistan.

There are several Pathan cricketers today and many have played cricket in the past (Imran Khan). Anyone with the last name Khan is in fact a Pathan, but not necessarily from the North West Frontier Province. Here is a list of Pathans in international cricket that I know of:

• Younis Khan
• Moin Khan
• Shahid Afridi
• Irfan Pathan
• Arshad Khan
• Umer Gul
