What do you mean the neck on this sweater is too wide?"

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi was found editing the Wikipedia entry on himself yesterday, replacing words and sometimes entire sentences with what he considered were more accurate descriptions of who he is, reports say.

"He immediately minimised the window on his computer screen when I walked into his room last evening," said younger brother Ashfaq. "At first I didn't think anything of it, figuring he was just watching reruns of Dancing With the Stars, but then I noticed the tab on the minimised window said 'Shahid Afridi - Wikipedia'. I backed out of the room slowly and went out to get some more hair conditioners to add to Shahidbhai's collection, which never fails to lift his spirits."

Other sources have opined that Afridi is pulling out all the stops in a bid to make a comeback to the Pakistan team, now that Waqar Younis, with whom Afridi has had a turbulent relationship, has resigned as coach.

"To be honest, this isn't the first time he's done this," said Afridi's uncle. "He has understandably been under a lot of stress of late, what with being out of the team for so long, and the issues with Waqar and the PCB. Everyone needs an outlet to vent a little bit. So Shahid edits his own Wikipedia page every now and then. Is it a little strange? Sure. And perhaps more than just a little. But he's not hurting anybody is he?"

The following are the parts of the page as edited by the Pakistan player before, due to complaints by some users and Afridi's agent, Wikipedia reverted it back to the original. Afridi's inputs appear in bold and the words he replaced are struck through.
