A contradiction in terms, no? This is one man who is not known for his thinking...!

Afridi did make his debut as a bowler who could bat a bit; breaking the all-time fastest century record in his first ever international innings did somewhat upset the applecart there though! I do agree though; his strength is bowling 10 overs quickly for not many runs and picking up 1 or 2 wickets; that is by far the more reliable part of the "Afridi package", as his ODI batting is just a lottery.
