00:00He's going to get one over the top, I think this one whipped him away, there's six runs,

00:16what a way to open your account, that's not too bad at all. So Fridi gets after the spinner,

00:25that's an unbelievable shot, second ball in, there he goes again, my word is, he's unbelievable,

00:43that's another six for him, and up it goes, that's his third six since he's been at the

00:49crease, down there on the long off boundary, here he goes again, up in the air, and right

00:57out of the ground, that's over the top of the pavilion, gone, that's a huge hit, that's

01:04into the car park, down there by the production van I should think, my word, the crowd are

01:12enjoying this, Fridi is enjoying it, drags it from outside off, gets his feet coming

01:20right down to it, right up over the top of the mid-wicket boundary, huge hit, no point chasing

01:34that, six more, hundreds up for Pakistan in just 13 overs and one ball, stunning hitting

01:45by Fridi,

01:46first 50 off 53 balls, look at that second 50 off just 27 deliveries, who is 37 not out,

01:58First 50 off 53 balls, look at that second 50 off just 27 deliveries

02:12who is 37 not out now

02:15Flatter, faster and hit further and higher, six more

02:32Spectacular stuff from the Pakistanis

02:39Freed, he's just got license to hit

02:45The problem now for Jaya Serea is that he's bolded probably as fast as he can and as flat as he can

02:57and Freed, he's still got underneath the ball and got enough loft on it to get it flat and straight

03:03for six, four of those 60s through mid on, one over long off

03:10Pulls off, that's going to be six, no question about it

03:2250 partnerships up, Freed is 50, has come off 18 balls just one ball slower

03:32than the world record held by Sanofjo Serea

03:39Six, six, two, six

03:47Gone through for four, brave effort by Midoff to try and stop that ball

03:54Gone through for four, brave effort by Midoff to try and stop that ball

04:02That was a glorious shark ball

04:17Have you ever seen anything like this, Canrican?

04:21Yeah

04:22Looks to be a very big sucker of the ball

04:25That's an enormous blow, it's another six

04:28No it's not, it's four this time

04:31And the Freedy, well he's going through his shell, he's blocked one

04:37And uh, attempted to paddle that away

04:44Gets a leg by that

04:47Boys, this is a tremendous performance from Pakistanis so far

04:52Well the only way they can get into the final work, Canrican, is to score in excess of 300

04:56And then Ballsville anchor out cheaply

04:58Freedy's come down the track

05:00The field's out

05:01But uh, you need fielders in the car park when a Freedy's batting

05:06That is eight, six

05:09Children being kept busy

05:14Children being kept busy

05:16On the perimeter of the ground

05:26This isn't slogging, this is uh, cultured and quality

05:30Hitting from a Freedy

05:33Majority of his shots have been hit straight

05:36Keeps his head down

05:38Watch the ball all the way onto the bat

05:40And hit them with enormous power

05:42And again

05:45And again

05:50Bloody start ball

05:58Well, you see this uh, occasionally

06:00You see the odd shot come off like this

06:02But to sustain it

06:04And hit nine sixes in the period of just 24 balls

06:08Is uh, quite exciting

06:11Quite exceptional

06:13I would love to see him uh, batting against the medium peter

06:17Uh, uh, at the moment

06:18Uh, ball

06:19The way he's going now

06:20After all the spinners

06:22Well, in time with the spinners

06:26Jai Serrer has come in for some dreadful tap

06:29He's only bowled eight deliveries

06:30He's gone for 40

06:32No ball

06:41No ball

06:42That's a no ball to compound the felony

06:47So we're living to a freebie

06:51He's been good shot

06:53He's just waiting for that

06:56Watched it turn into him and played uh, an extremely cultured square cut to four

07:05Cut to four

07:21Clubbed away

07:22It's four more

07:24Huge gap at mid wicket

07:26There's a man out at deep backwards square

07:28And a man out at deep long arm

07:29And they're probably the best part of a hundred meters between them

07:33And there's a freebie find the gap

07:35The risky player

07:42Down the track he comes

07:45And this has gone a long way

07:47Another six

07:52These are not hits

07:53These are spud missiles

08:03Down the track

08:04Opens his shoulders

08:06And yet another scud

08:12And this is another one

08:13Even bigger

08:14Over mid wicket

08:15And out of the ground

08:21He's moved to 95

08:22And so far he's had a party

08:32Get a single

08:33On the onside

08:34On the onside

08:35That's a rare sight when

08:36Afridi's been there

08:37Sayidangal wants the second

08:38And comes back

08:39Good running by the Pakistan captain

08:41Guru Singh a little slow in coming to the ball there

08:47And Sayidangal quick to spot it

08:49Run that first run hard

08:51And came back comfortably for the second

08:54He's moved to 97

08:56He's taken him only 36 balls

08:58The world record set by Jair Surya

09:02In 48 balls

09:03Can he get it?

09:04And he stepped it away

09:05This should be the world record

09:06Said Afridi has got the fastest hundred in one day international cricket

09:07It's taken him only 37 balls

09:08And he stepped his mag

09:21Over the gym kind of ground ablaze

09:22Fantastic innings

09:23By the young man

09:24Considering it's

09:25His first knock in one day international cricket

09:27Good intelligent batting by him

09:28To battle that one round the corner

09:29To bring up

09:30The fastest hundred in one day international cricket

09:31Some achievement

09:32For a man playing just his first knock

09:33In the big game

09:34Look

09:50Look
