Re: Wasim Raja

One of my favourite player, really used to enjoy his batting. May Allah rest his soul in peace.

Re: Wasim Raja

I’ve heard that his performance against WI (the best team of that ear) was nice and he bowled guggli too, if I’m not on wrong :konfused:

Re: Wasim Raja

A very exciting batsman to watch.

As indicated above his average against fast men was very impressive unlike other legends from Pakistan i.e. Javed Miandad.

Re: Wasim Raja

Yes - loved his batting and his name was a bit exotic those days. Remember him with his fulll shirt folded kind of 3/4 sleeve while fielding. Could bat at fast clip - good with tailenders I recall vaguely.
