Also, how can we forget his heroics where he took on the mighty Windies pace attack with a plastered broken arm (thanks to Courtney Walsh). He would often switch from being right handed to left handed because of the pain he was in, and nevertheless saved the game for Pakistan. If you are in a situation like this, the last thing you can ask for is an Ambrose/Walsh pace attack.
Ask Omar abut that incident, he told me a funny story about that incident.:D
