Yusuf Pathan 100 in 37 balls: 2nd fastest for Domestic / Club level

[Poison]

Doesn't really count, he's not a real Pathan And its pyjama cricket

Still amazing hitting on small grounds.

 

[izi]

Yusuf Pathan equals Afridi's record

In IPL Yusuf Pathan has just made 100 off 37 balls. This is fastest century in any form of cricket so he has equalled Afridi's record....

 

[Boi]

Amazing hitting but its not INTERNATIONAL cricket. Doubt anyone can break it in international cricket.

 

[izi]

Amazing innings although got 2 chances. Indians will hype this innings just wait and see....

 

[Poison]

Still I think he deserves a place in the Annals of Beastology for this knock

 

[izi]

I think some one soon will break it in international cricket specially t20s....May not be broken in ODIs any time soon...Afridi do it again mate as we do not want this record to be broken...

 

[izi]

Cricket has become boring!

 

[Sledger]

Geoff Boycott's grandma could score hundreds and take 5 fors at this level of cricket.. mind you, she is a pretty good cricketer.

 

[Momo]

It's only Club cricket. Corrected the title accordingly.

 

[Paradox]

This is NOT the fastest century in any form of cricket.

The fastest century in any form of INTERNATIONAL cricket is still by Shahid Afridi, 100 of 37 balls against Sri Lanka on his debut innings.

The fastest century in any form of cricket (domestic/international) is by Andrew Symonds, 100 off 34 balls, in a domestic T20 game for Kent against Middlesex. Afridi was in Symonds' team at that time I believe, the irony

Yusuf's IS the second fastest though.

 

[Paradox]

It's only Club cricket. Corrected the title accordingly.

You corrected wrongly Momo. Symonds still has the fastest century. Why do people ignore this? His century was a MUCH better one than Yusuf's today, and it was faster, 32 balls.

 

[ZAK]

It's only Club cricket. Corrected the title accordingly.

Momo you should have titled it 'the fastest century in bollywood Cricket'

 

[Poison]

I didn't know Symonds hit a 34 ball hundred.

 

[Momo]

You corrected wrongly Momo. Symonds still has the fastest century. Why do people ignore this? His century was a MUCH better one than Yusuf's today, and it was faster, 32 balls.

I stand corrected.

Just corrected the corrected version.

 

[Momo]

Momo you should have titled it 'the fastest century in bollywood Cricket'

)

 

[Paradox]

I didn't know Symonds hit a 34 ball hundred.

32, in fact. Afridi was in the same playing XI that day with Symonds, it was for Kent against Middlesex in 2004 I believe, and Symonds was opening the batting too I think.

 

[cricket_fever]

well played YP but the fact is that you arent better than our aslee pathan. He smashed it in INTERNATIONAL CRICKET lol........but these indian pitches seem to be Over batsman friendly

 

[Khabri420]

Indraneel Mukherjee: "If only Yousuf could recreate similar magic while playing for India..."

So true )

 

[cricket_fever]

Indraneel Mukherjee: "If only Yousuf could recreate similar magic while playing for India..."

shame shame

Only AFRIDI can create such magic when playing for PAKISTAN lol

no hard feelings joke joke

when mukherjee said that, it must have been a bit embarrassing for YP

 

[cricketpassion]

title should be fastest century in bollywood by naqli pathan

 

[amit]

in b4 someone creates a "afridi 37-ball 100 jinx thread"

 

[Foozee]

brutal innings by naqli pathan

 

[SpiritOf1903]

brutal innings by naqli pathan

how do you determine 'Pakka' Pathan ? :mohsin

 

[Sledger]

If true, how about we rename this thread the fastest hundred in a losing cause?

 

[haroonrasheed320]

This is NOT the fastest century in any form of cricket.

Yusuf's IS the second fastest though.

lolz no wonder Symonds made the record that day

 

[haroonrasheed320]

the fastest hundred in a loosing cause by a naqli pathan in Bollywood cricket

 

[BoomBoomAfridi]

Afridi's innings was more brutal and he also had to face murali!

 

[Waseem]

Asli Pathan ki ASLI century
Naqli Pathan ki NAQLI century

Naqli Pathan has just proven he is NAQLI by scoring 37 ball 100 in NAQLI cricket

case closed!!!

 

[Bonafide Hustler]

Common guys its not joke cricket, mumbai has bowlers in the likes of Malinga and Zaheer

certainly not on par with Afridis 100 given the cricketing world back then and the fact that it was international cricket and that too in an ODI IN HIS FIRST GAME.

but yousufs knock was definitely good stuff.

 

[Oxy]

Must have been enthraling to watch. Why did I choose to go shopping?

I'll tell you why!!!

Bollywood tamasha cricket! And I'm going shopping during the next game....in fact, all the games!

Wrong.


The truth is, yousuf pathan did not face either malinga or zaheer.



the bowlers yousuf faced were : mclaren , sathish, jayasuriya, and murtaza



what a pathetic , unknown bowling attack.

i do not rate this.

dude its still a good innings, I am not saying its great, but give it its due. People here are just plain hating.

You arent hurting the IPL by not watching, its on freestreams...

Relax. Its just a bollywood inngs in a domestic league - no records broken. Move on. It'll probably happen 10 times this month

Of course a record in an international match is much better and credible than a record in a domestic tournament.

nobody's hating, sorry if it came out that way

just trying to be realistic and state the truth.




go look up the statistics of the bowlers he faced. none of them average close to or over a wicket a game in FIRST CLASS CRICKET, let alone international cricket.

in fact, ALL FOUR BOWLER HE FACED ARE BATSMAN NOT BOWLERS ! )

 

[IM NOT YOU]

Why would I want to watch hasbeen 40 year olds play domestic cricket?

if you REALLY want to waste your time and humor yourself oxy, go look up the statistics of the four bowlers he faced : mclaren, sathish, murtaza, and jayasuriya


only jayasuriya is even half-credible and hes not even a real bowler and older than my grandpa.

the other three are BATSMAN... yes... BATSMAN. (with a pathetic attempt of an all-round title)

[Howzat]

Why would I want to watch hasbeen 40 year olds play domestic cricket?

For the love of the game. Dont you want to see Warne and Tendulkar face each other probably for the last time?

 

[Bonafide Hustler]

first of all its not MY league, I have nothing to do with India

secondly Jayasuria and Warne arent 40 year old has beens...

third of all, Alot of international greats face the same third quality club level bowlers and dont smack 100 of 37 balls

it doesnt happen everyday, it was a good innings

no ones hyped about it like Afridis so relax homeboys

And that's the way it should be

 

[Bonafide Hustler]

with the current standard of international cricket and lack of talent coming through

I would honestly rather watch Warne over ANY other spinner in the world

if Lara put on his pads for IPL, I would STILL watch him over anyother player in the world

so your logic of them being 40 year old expendables is retarded...

 

[Poison]

Definitely agree with BH. Credit where its due, hitting a 37 ball hundred isn't easy regardless of the bowlers.

[onlycricket]

Amazing innings although got 2 chances. Indians will hype this innings just wait and see....

may be small ground, may be just decent bowling attack(don't forget Zaheer, Jayasurya, Malinga were there in line up)....but 100 of 37 is something amazing....

there is nothing to hype...along with Afridi, only Yousuf and few other can play such inning....so definitely deserve praise....

it's true amazing inning....

well, if some one praise Afridi inning then this inning also deserve praise...
well, I think Afridi inning also wasn't on Melbourne like playground..also he didn't face Mcgrawth, Ambrose, Donand, when he played such inning...

but only these few cricketer can play such innings, though they are not technically sound....

also to Mention, Yousuf played an inning 100 on 40 balls and 68 on 29 balls...just few days back on the domentic competition...

I hope, he will be the real threat for the opposition specially on the subcontinent pitches in the 2011 WC...

Proud on u yousuf....just help India winning the WC...

I dont think you can compare this innings with Afridis tbh, Afridis innings given the circumstances, the stage and the time period was far superior, so was his 45 ball hundred against India in India.

However, Yousufs innings was a really good one, certainly nothing great though.

 

[PB]

Do take note, that he was DROPPED
So Afridi's 37 Ball Hundred was better. .

[WasimWaqarInzy]

I dont see why people are writing it off just because it doesnt compare to Afridi's 100.

It was a sublime innings, he came in at RROP 14.4, with 4 wickets down already, played absolutely astonishingly, give him credit for that. It is quite a big ground too.

Nothing compares with Afridi's 100 apart from Sachins 200 as of now, because Afridis was his first innings, because it was a bowling attack that won the World Cup in the same year, because he was a 16 year old legspinner at the time. I doubt anything will surpass that, and it was for sure a better innings than Pathans, but give Yousuf some credit for what was an absolute stunner of an innings, the best innings in T20 history, thats for sure.

 

[wasim-fan]

Truly amazing to see how things have turned with regards to thoughts on IPL which is admittedly a sub standard league imo. But the same lot who were angry for Pak. players being kept out of the poor bollywood league are not only following it but also dissin it for its standards.

Chill man.. You've made your point about boycotting IPL before.. Whats the need to keep saying the same thing over and over again numerous times? Are you 'fraid that people dont trust your words? Or maybe you feel the need to express your 'hatred' because you're miffed from a Pakistani point of view?

 

[uzermaani]

This is bizzare from some of the PP posters. I can bet that had your so-called 'legend' Afridi been only called, mind my words, 'only called up' and not even given a single game to play in the IPL, the whole bunch of these IPL haters would have gone all thumbs up to the tournament, citing it as a mega event, bigger than the world cup, true-talent-spotter sort of thing. BUT pity thats not the case only because NAWAB.......oooops i mean SAHABzada sahab has not been included in the tournament. Otherwise a Purple cap on Sohail Tanvir's head would seem to these guys a greater testimony than being handed over the presidency of the US or perhaps even a Whole kingdom to rule as the 'Mughals', telling the whole world that OUR bowler has been awarded the best bowler of the MOST PRESTIGIOUS sporting event of the entire mankind !!!


C'mon guys, show some guts and appreciate the good efforts where due.................

 

[itduzz]

yusuf is indian version of Graeme Hick...rubbish at international level

37 ball ton must have been a quality innings regardless of the bowling attack and ground size.

IPL deserves hatred for many reasons including discrimination against the Pakistani players and black cheerleaders last year.

 

[acer]

Mumbai: Australian leg-spin legend and Rajasthan Royal skipper Shane Warne rated Yusuf Pathan's blistering hundred against Mumbai Indians in their IPL opener as the best he has ever seen.

In his international career, Warne has been at the receiving end from India's Sachin Tendulkar and West Indies' Brian Lara many times but the Australian said Pathan's 37-ball 100 against MI here was the best.

"I have played first class cricket for 21 years and Sachin Tendulkar has been the best batsman I have bowled to. I have seen him thrashing pace and spin alike as well as Brian Lara but today's innings by Yusuf is the best I have seen," gushed Warne after his team nearly won against Tendulkar's MI after chasing an imposing total of 212 for 6.

black cheer leaders? whats wrong with black? they are pretty good dancer imo

 

[jusarrived]

Not a big fan of Pathan & i dont like sloggers in the indian lineup...but Pathan has been in scary form in domestic cricket , will be difficult to ignore him when the teams picked for WC.


good innings cos RR was chasing & its doubly difficult to score that pace with rrr 15+

 

[cricket_fever]

how do you determine 'Pakka' Pathan ? :mohsin

See whether they have the guts to bite balls

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

It was a quality innings and I fail to see why people are not giving it due credit. Nobody is comparing it to Afridi's knock yet some posters are just adamant on posting that it is inferior. It just comes across as being very petty because I know that if a Pakistani had done this in a domestic game then people would be going absolutely gaga over it. Put the biases aside and give credit where credit is due.

On a secondary note, those saying that it was a weak innings because he just hit around unknown/has been spinners need to remember that the majority of Afridi's runs came against the same Jayasuriya alongside the fearful spin doctor that was Dharmasena

well played yousaf pathan ........that was one gr8 inng.....

i checked the score card of RR, n it shows that Kamran Khan played. wasnt he banned for his bowling action?

 

[Mr Possible]

Yes, he was banned but he has corrected his action and the domestic panel gave him a green signal after testing his new action.

 

[saqlain]

boycotting IPL is like you're walking by the house where the biggest new year party going on, everyones enjoying except you, you're hungry n its raining but u take pride like ah they dont know how to have a good time.

I think Yousaf Pathan has played a very good innings. Remember this is T20 and it is all about scoring quick runs. Most Pakistani players like Afridi because he is capable of scoring quick runs. He played very well and some of the shots were very nice and should have been considered as a six in any ground around the world. The players like Afridi, Sehwag, Yousaf, Watson, Imran Nazir and many more are what makes this sport even more exciting. We should always give credit where it is due without the distinction of nationalities. Well done Yousaf and I hope he would be playing similar cricket during the rest of the matches.

Well done Pathan on fastest club cricket 100!

What's with all of this nonsensical arguing going on in this thread?!

Posters need to stop bothering Oxy in regards to his opinion on the IPL. If he doesn't want to watch it then he doesn't.

Oxy .. you need to stop with the "bollywood tamasha" stuff. It was fine the first time but its kind of redundant if you use it in every post. Just saying.

Proud on u yousuf....just help India winning the WC...

made the record against Sri Lanka who were World Champions at that time. Murali was at his prime, Dharmasena, Sanath with those flat trajectory balls, Chaminda Vaas also in his prime. So, you simply can not compare these two innings.

As far as scoring quick is concerned I believe Taufeeq Umer blasted Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground in a practise game when Inida toured pakistan, but do we rate him as an aggressive batsman? Salman Butt has scored some very quick fire innings in domestic circuit, and if you are a regular poster you must know what most of the PP posters think about his inclusion in T20 squad.

Pathan played beautifully but to compare this innings with that of Afridi is a total disgrace as far as I am concerned. I believe he did the same thing in IPL 1st edition, but he couldn't break into Indian side in the T20 WC until the final when Sehwag got injured.

There is a big difference between domestic/IPL cricket and International Cricket, my friend. Hope you understand.

Hooooooooooooooo

 

[TNA]

If Yusuf blasted this innings in an international match... then we are talking

 

[Cracket]

Hell yeah Yusuf

 

[RexRex]

Once in a while , he comes off with a blinder.Still just a slogger like Afridi.
