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
