to be honest, shahid afridi isn't really a class player

look at his odi average, its only 24, thats just one run above bangladesh's javed omar
and his test average is just 2 runs above habibul bashar
but still he gets considered as one of the best in the world who deserves to be in the world xi

i think its because of how high his strike rate is, how he goes for boundaries all the time that people find exciting and has them looking at him in such a way
