Why does my heart feel soo sad..?? Let me tell you why, the reason is
obvious, there will be a time when We wont see Wasim Akram balling to a ’’nervous’’
Brian LAra, Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Pointing, M. Gibbs..and to so many more who are all
world class batsmen. All these great batsmen ( they really r great) pretend to be very
cool and routined player when they face A Wasim Akram who is balling six different
balls in an over, but in reality they hold their breath and concentrate as much as
possible, cause they know that when they will not even do their footwork properly
they will get out. I admit that due to his age Wasim Akram is no more pacy as he used
to be, but still he is dangerous and exactly knows when he can allow himself to deliver
dangerous quick balls.
’’And it should be also mentioned that he is a reliable batsman.’’
Though he has a short run-up his balls aren`t slow and the speed is quite average.
But A Wasim Akram does not only need Speed to be a good baller, it is his variety, he
knows how to ball inswingers, outswingers, revers swingers, off breaks,
legbreaks, inswinging and outswinging yorkers, it is like he is giving the balls kind of a
vital spirit so it seems that the balls after releasing Wasim´s hands are doing what
they want and dancing in the wind. It is really amazing what this man is capable of, i.e.
when he balls inswingers the ball moves just the other way after pitching, and he
does it the other way round.
You dont believe me, okay then go to a shop and buy his
video cassettes of old an new matches.
But what I recommend is that You should watch
him life, because if u dont do this soon, you wont have the oppertunity again cause he
is soon getting 4o years of age, And I am sure that after upcoming WORLD-CUP he will
retire. And whenever I think about this fact my heart can cry a river. I am not sure that
in the future we will see any baller of his strength.
He is certainly the best baller ever to come in the history of cricket( but also a good batsman, he can really hit
ball-breaking 6s and 4s) and there is no doubt that he was the best baller of the last
century.
I wish him all the best, especially for his last days in international Cricket!
Everyone take Care
