Re: The Inventors

I saw Wahab Riaz bowling a "Slow Bouncer" a few times in Kitply cup. Haven't seen before anyone bowling a slow bouncer.

23.4 Wahab Riaz to Sehwag, OUT, Cramped for room and he is gone! It came in off a length, towards middle and off, from round the stumps angle and Sehwag tried to stay adjacent to the line and cut it to third man but the extra bounce meant he can only edge it to Akmal. It was a leg spinning slower one that broke back in sharply with bounce!

The innovator for Reverse Sweep was Mushtaq Mohammad and not Javed Miandad, same way reverse swing was started by Sarfraz Nawaz and not Not Imran khan

Mushtaq was not the most talented of the five Mohammad brothers who emigrated from Western India to Karachi, but he scored the most first-class hundreds, more even than Hanif, thanks partly to the greater opportunities he had in county cricket with Northamptonshire. He was also one of the first reverse-sweepers (a stroke he learned from Hanif), and one of the** first bat-twirlers** at the crease. As a bowler of the legbreak, googly and flipper, he also took more first-class wickets than any of his brothers. Northants were impressed enough to pay him to spend two years in qualifying for them, before instant registration began in 1968. But his age, and his claim to be the youngest Test centurymaker, should be treated with caution. A couple of years may have got lost in emigration.

Danny Morrison (New Zealand) 1992 WC… I dont remember the opponent( may be it was Pakistan, but he secured his first run after 42 deliveries. He raised his bat and crowd cheered with utter delight… So definitely not Younis..

keep looking at the wicket-keeper without realising that he has missed the stumping and then be stumped by WK at second attempt because of lack of presence of mind - Inzamam-ul-Haq (1999 WC)
