[MENTION=139981]HitWicket[/MENTION] Would tell you otherwise and speak on behalf of Crane regardless another win for shaz619, Hitwicket - 0

Having Afridi in the team has bought the best out of Crane and the two compliment each other really well even though both play as leggies in the same line up although they are stylistically distinct leggies

That sounds like an Oxymoro*, Afridi had all the talent in the world to be one of the great bats of all time with ZERO BRAIN...

He's an all time great T20 player with the most wickets internationally in the format to , Crane has obviously benefited from playing alongside him being a fellow leggie is a huge bonus as well

ALL time great t20 player?

That doesn't mean much, considering t20s started merely a decade ago

 

[shaz619]

Also, assuming he was in fact extremely poor in the limited overs that's not proportionaly to how effective he'd be in terms of helping elevate young talent. E.g the best coach's have not always been the greatest players during their careers. Anyhow, being a fellow leggie with a wealth of experience at the international level am sure Crane ought to benefit from the support and advice given to him by Afridi and hence why he has stated just that.

Well it does because he has been excellent in the format ever since its inception so that does count for something as he thrives especially when it comes to T20 cricket being the leading wicket taker and a former World T20 champion

 

[shaz619]

The student and the master both with figures of 1-22 from 4 overs in the semi-final, really strangled the Notts.

If he did he wouldnt have played that atrocious shot first ball today
