Ricky Ponting: I Never Had Any Doubts On Shaheen Afridi's Bowling Abilities
Ahead of Pakistan's semifinal clash against New Zealand in the ICC T20 World Cup semifinal at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday, legendary Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting has revealed Shaheen Afridi, even if not at his fiery best, will have more impact on the game than most "because of how good he is".
Afridi missed the entire Asia Cup in the UAE and the seven-match T20I series against England at home before the T20 World Cup because of a knee injury, but Ponting said, even if the tall quick is operating at 90 percent of his capacity, he is better than all the other bowlers.
