Wasim Akram cricketer turn model

WASIM AKRAM was at the top for almost 20 years, in which time his famous whippy action brought him a record 916 internation wickets for Pakistan. His feats are numerous: four wickets in five balls against Windies at Lahore in 1990-91 , two test hatricks and two in One day Internationals, a brutal 257 against Zimbave at Sheikhpura in 1996-97 which contained a test record of 12 sixes. Oddly Wasim has taken more ten-fors (three) than any other player. His real feat came in 1992 when he demolished England with two unforgettable, consecutive deliveries to Allan Lamb and Chris Lewis in the world cup final at Melbourne, each a definition of unplayable. The memory will linger of the bright lights, garish uniforms, and Wasim in his pumped up pomp, gold chain swinging, pit pattering his way to the crease and letting rip. He has set the benchmark for bowling in World Cricket.
