I have been seeing Shahid Afridi playing cricket since forever. When I was a kid, I used to watch him with fascination. I used to wait for his appearance on the screen, and when he came to the ground, my first words would be sixer please! He has said his favorite shot is anywhere for six with a grin on his face! When Afridi comes to play, I see people holding banners saying boom boom, which means he will come with a bang and create explosion! And how he did!
He has taken more than 300 wickets, scored more than 6500 runs in one day internationals. Some time ago, Afridi had decided to retire because he was not satisfied with issues going on in Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
One of his diehard fans, Abeera says, ‘Afridi’s retirement was just a vent out of his anger because everyone knew he would take his decision back as soon as his anger settles down. We want him back immediately now. We have missed him’

Dear Skipper,
We have witnessed you brutally thrash bowlers out of the park; we have seen you dismiss the best in business with your shooters, flippers and googlies and take the most difficult catches on the cricket field.
You have been our darling for more than 14 years. Every time you whack the cricket ball into the open skies, we hold our breaths. You gave us reason to dance on the streets of Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta with your performance in the Twenty20 Cup, 2009. And you made us proud as you went on to score the fastest one day century in your second ODI match.
As the World Cup 2011 officially opens, we have our eyes set on you once again.

Every single Pakistani and Australian journalist and blogger have written on why in the world would Afridi do such a stupidity.. calling him a plain idiot to asking what the hell if at all he was thinking.

10 ) Apples are good for health.
9 ) Was checking to see if the Australians had bitten it.
