Brilliant Captaincy, bowling, fielding efforts and field placements 👏 just need to work on scoring more runs batting first and with this bowling attack Pakistan Cricket Team can defend 220+ runs in ODI's versus any side consistently and nearly on any surface...let's not forget that Mohammed Amir didn't even play this time around. With him in the lineup, Pakistan Cricket Team can defend 200 vs any side on any surface regularly if need be...

A dream start for Mohammad Rizwan’s captaincy 🤩

Pakistan come from behind to complete a memorable 2-1 ODI series win Down Under against Australia 💪

Growing up in the States, I'd seldom if ever, run across the game of Cricket on TV. Had the good fortune of watching a PPV World Cup event back in '99 and immediately got hooked mainly due to this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3B2xjBGlM4 Haven't seen a single player in the game before or after his debut at the international level, with as much intensity or as physically dangerous to batters (literally lethal), as Shoaib Akhtar Official was. For those who don't consider Cricket to be a very "physical" sport. You might find it interesting to note just how much physical strain fast bowling takes on the human body. In addition to muscular wear and tear, the cartilage in his knees was virtually gone towards the end of his career not to mention the wear and tear the rest of his joints/bones took by having to run and stop as hard as it took in order to hurl down the ball at the insane speeds he'd hit (still holds the record for the fastest delivery ever bowled in the game at 100.2 mph) . Had several knee operations and other surgical procedures performed all over his body and was constantly injecting his knees with morphine before games to play as much as he physically could...don't even get me started on the injuries batters can face against this sort of speed

Shoaib Akhtar displays the Best Fast Bowling and puts pressure on the opposition like no one ever had with his amazing speed. ...

Tremendously underrated. Could strike at an alarmingly high rate, had the power to hit the ball miles, scored hundreds vs Australia and had the composure to score double hundreds in tests. This man was an absolute beast when he was in.

9879 int'l runs for Pakistan 🏏
Scored all of his 10 ODI hundreds at over 100 strike-rate 🔥
6 of his 12 test hundreds came against Australia 💯

Happy Birthday Ijaz Ahmed.

Throwback! When Imran Khan called back Kris Srikkanth following a dubious lbw decision in a Pakistan-India ODI.

The match, held in front of a packed crowd in Lahore, was a 40-over game that was reduced to 37 overs a side before play started. Batting first, Pakistan posted 150-8 with Javed Miandad top scoring with 30 off 52 balls. Manoj Prabhakar was the pick of India’s bowlers, taking 2-24 off his eight overs.

This was the final match of India’s long tour of Pakistan that featured four Test matches and four ODI’s. The Test series had been drawn 0-0 and going into the final match of the ODI series, Pakistan were 1-0 up having won the second game by seven wickets. The first and third matches had been abandoned due to rain and crowd disruption respectively.

India therefore needed to successfully chase Pakistan’s score of 150 in order to tie the series and finish their tour of Pakistan with a victory to their name.

However, their chase got off to a poor start as both Raman Lamba and Navjot Sidhu fell cheaply to leave India 18-2. For a while, Kris Srikkanth seemed to be restoring some stability to the innings as India reached 66-3. It was then that controversy struck.

Srikkanth, who played 146 ODIs for India between 1981 and 1992, was on 31 off 63 balls and on strike against Waqar Younis. Waqar bowled a length delivery that Srikkanth attempted to tuck into the leg-side only for the ball to strike his pad and trickle into the off-side.

As Pakistan appealed, Srikkanth set off for a single only to see the umpire raise his finger and adjudge him lbw. Srikkanth was aghast and immediately gestured to his bat in disbelief, certain that he had got an inside edge.

“[Srikkanth] shouldn’t be so disappointed,” mused the commentator. “He’s had his fair share of luck.”

However, as Srikkanth was walking off, Pakistan captain Imran Khan decided to call the Indian batter back in a move lauded for its sporting nature.

Having been afforded a second chance by the Pakistan captain, Srikkanth was unable to capitalise as, somewhat incredibly, he was dismissed again the very next ball. This time caught behind with no doubt surrounding the dismissal.

Srikkanth’s departure brought about an immediate collapse from the India lower middle order, as 66-4 became 82-8, any hope of an Indian victory quickly fading away.

The final wicket of the match was taken by Abdul Qadir as Pakistan sealed a 38 run victory and a 2-0 series win.
