Interesting AQ, but it wasn't worth starting another thread.
I remember couple matches where our Pakistani batsman, who usually don't bowl got the chance of bowling.
Inzimam took a wicket against Bangladesh, it is really interesting to watch him bowl, and Imran Nazir got a chance to bowl once against India in Asia Cup in Dhaka, he took the last wicket of Ajay Jadeja and to win the match for Pak.
well...As far as my knowledge goes I know that only 3rd time in history all 11 players bowled in an Ining.
The example you gave is of oneday match..
isnt it???

Just goes to show how dead the pitch was. Matches played on such pitches could lead to the demise of the test matches as the crowds lose interest in such meaningless matches. The stands were empty on the last day. Something needs to be done about such pitches.

Inzi used to bowl more often when he came in the team back in 91/92. At that time Pakistan was in trouble cuz of the fifth bowler, and waqar didnt play in the 92 worldcup. He was a spinner I believe...
