A---Z of Pakistan Crick

Just saw the above on Bbc and i think we should come up with something for Pak cricket too. :smiley:

Re: A---Z of Pakistan Crick

Okay I will Go first:

*A-------ART *: Its Pak that revived the almost forgotten art of leg spin bwling through Abdul Qadir, It was Pak that introduced using spinners as an attacking wicket taking bowlers in ODI's Qadir and Mushtaq and then Saqlain in particular.

It was Pak that came up with art of reverse swing, nobody ecen today knows half of what pakistanis have known for about 3 decades.

offcourse it was Pakistani batsman Mushtaq who came up with and Javed who mastered the new stroke Reverse Sweep.

It was Pak, who introduced the concept in International cricket that a Fast bowler can be a good captain.

You can add to above or finish the rest of ab....z
