I was surfing youtube when I came across this video. ‘Lahoo ko garma dia is video ne’. A collection of Pakistan’s legendary fast bowling duo, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. The real video starts around time stamp of 35s, so don’t give up without watching the whole thing. If you want to share other other Wasim-Waqar clips, feel free to do so in the comments section below.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

A nice program on Waqar Younis:

Hands down, these two rocked the cricket world for quite some time. Wasim Akram was literally unplayable at times.
For example:

Oh..what a video..a Wasim-Waqar montage delights me each time..
My favourite is the Waqar delivery to Herschelle Gibbs, the way the ball comes back in at the last moment, through the gap between bat and pad and bowls him..unbelievable stuff.
And the Wasim delivery to Rahul Dravid around 4.40
a longer version of that is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFOjvZaXeQ8
Wasim actually gets Dravid lbw in his trademark in swinging delivery but unfortunately it is adjudged not out.
So Wasim teases him a bit more with more incoming deliveries and Dravid carefully tries to play them with his bad rather than the pad.
and then comes the masterpiece, the delivery pitched on off, leaving the batsman, taking the off stump with it, Dravid expecting a inswinger and completely bamboozled.
Unbelievable stuff..Pure genius..
Wasim’s ability to swing the ball in unparalleled.
