OT: General cricket discussion thread .....

Afridi, much like the aliens in Independence Day, had to be stopped, even if you had to fly your fast bowler into the belly of the beast. Afridi doesn't care now; this is the last Powerplay over, he just swings. He mishits and should be caught, he isn't. He mishits and should be caught, he isn't. And then he mis-hits and should be caught, but he isn't. He takes ten runs in lucky mis-hits. I don't know how he's getting away with it; it's like some sort of CIA conspiracy that can only be unravelled by a smoking guy. But it's too much fun to care.
