- Waqar Younis
Waqar Younis made his debut along with Sachin Tendulkar at Karachi in 1989. His main weapons were toe crushing inswinging yorkers bowled at over 150 kmph. And this was after he decided to cut down on his pace following persistent back problems earlier in his career. On his debut test match against India, he took 4 wickets along with that of another debutant, Sachin Tendulkar, clean bowled.
It actually didn’t matter if the batsman was Brian Lara or Chris Martin. And unlike bowlers of his age, who only believed in hitting the deck hard, Waqar would bowl full and outside the off stump. And With some prodigious amount of late swing, the ball would ultimately crash into the leg stump.He took 373 wickets from 87 Tests at an average of 23.56 and an outstanding strike-rate of 43.4.
