Ya, sad, bad back injury early on for Waqar and he was never the searing fast gun he was earlier, but he was in a way wiser for it, perhaps, worked within his limitations and still produced those magic banana swinging yorckers, just brilliant stuff.Waqar had a career of two halves, that's fair to say, very reliant on reverse
Wasim was a warrior but also could have been smarter with his variety, some have said this about him
Maybe Shoaib was the most crafty of them all
It's all fine, they are still great, we can still make observations
Akram had to deal with a fair bit off the field too, tragedy, addiction, cheating scandals, drug rehab.. good man, but. His book, sultan of swing is deffo worth a read.
Shoaib is ok too, biggest xutia Pak crickiter is that Afridi character.. was "17" when he made his debut.. once a cheat...
this is Tendulkar on debut vs Wasim and Waqar at their best:
Afridi... well, at least he owned up to his lies later.
