Countless times I've gone back to this to absorb the mastery.
Here's a champion fast bowler unravelling his bag of tricks to get a breakthrough - he eventually doesn't get one, but is all of cricket's fun attached to the boolean of success and failure?
Happy Birthday Wasim.

It’s one of my favorite overs bowled in ODI cricket. This is Shoaib vs Ponting duel at Gabba from 2002. This was the first over Shoaib bowled in that match and got Ponting clean bowled with an inswinger on the 6th ball of that over.
A thread on that.

One of the best ever shots played vs spin. That big stride, insane wrist work, opening the bat face at last moment to go with unreal timing.

Saeed Anwar at his best.

We don’t see enough toe crushing yorkers these days 👀

Waqar was something else 🔥

When Pakistan destroyed Australia after managing to score just 184 runs.

In the first game of tri series in 2000, at the Gabba, Australia cruising at 76/1 thanks to a brisk stand between Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist, Shoaib turned the game in a single over.

First, he dismissed Ponting with a sharp leg-cutter edged to slip, then trapped Steve Waugh lbw with a fiery off-cutter on the very next ball.

Roared on by the crowd, Shoaib’s spell of pace and aggression set the tone for a stunning collapse.

Abdur Razzaq then ripped through the middle order with 4/23, removing Damien Martyn, Andrew Symonds and Brett Lee in a devastating burst as Australia lost five wickets for just seven runs.

Waqar Younis finished the job, bowling Australia out for 139 despite resistance from Michael Bevan.

Govt continues to pamper traders with virtually no tax at all. 25k per annum is an insult to those salaried people who are being fleeced. Even a lower rank govt and private sector employee pays more income tax than these traders, many of whom have a turnover of millions/month.

[Amer Sharif @AmerSharifOFCL]

Waah—pay annually 25K and no audit.

Dear salaried class, this is the system and power, and this is how they manage it.

A salaried individual pays 25K annually just for earning 115K per month, and for our beloved trading community, our government is generously planning to allow them to pay just a minimum of 25K irrespective of their income and that’s it. Why can’t they be taxed on their actual income earned? What is the purpose of the FBR and its staff?

Pakistan's current selection policy - pick players for formats they shouldn't be included in and drop them from formats they should be picked for #Cricket

The Day of Arafah is days away.

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Fasting the Day of Arafah, I hope from Allah that it will expiate the sins of the year before it and the year after it." (Sahih Muslim)
"صِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَهُ وَالسَّنَةَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهُ"
Transliteration: Siyaamu yawmi Arafata ahtasibu alallahi an yukaffira-s-sanata-llatee qablahu was-sanata-llatee ba'dahu.

To be remembered, be the best at what you do and put a smile on people’s faces.

[Saj Sadiq @SajSadiqCricket]

No accountability, no responsibility, no direction, no leadership. Decisions, selections and appointments made to please individuals and not made on merit. Domestic cricket standards falling, too much focus on T20s.

Pakistan cricket is dying.

The first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are almost here. Allah swore by these nights in Surah Al-Fajr.
وَٱلْفَجْرِ وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ By the dawn and the ten nights (89:1-2)
When Allah takes an oath by something, He's telling you to pay attention. A thread on what these days are and how to use them👇
