Afif's effortless lifts are delight to watch!! His six to long on region was the highlight for me yesterday. Goes on to show you don't need brute force for six but just pure timing. Of course Sachin mastered it. That's the beauty of cricket- you don't need powering stature or built to succeed. It's all about hand-eye and timing... like kali (filipino martial arts) where a 5'7" guy can kick axx just with reflex, coordination etc. People think Chris Gayle is only brute power. But he has supreme touch and fine hand-eye motor....
I hope we stick with Afif and given chance to cultivate his skills and talent.
