A compulsive hooker...

...Shahid Afridi?!? :-) Well, that's what one of the commentators called him ;-) Anyway, it was wonderful to watch him hammer the English bowlers in the second test between England and Pakistan. All the bowlers seemed scared of him and resorted to bowling wides. In fact, the very first ball he faced was a wide (though, not given by the umpire); the next three were hit for fours! His next scoring shot was a six! Vaughan was looking desperately out of ideas on how to tackle Afridi. I think, on his day, he is easily the most exciting batsman to watch...there is nobody else who just goes after the bowling without any worries. I am now looking forward to the second day of play.

Here's a review of his innings so far.
