Tribute To The Toe Crusher aka Waqar Younis !!
Hello Cricket Lovers,
Whenever one utters the word cricket, there comes passion and zeal in the whole body. Game of the cricket produced several legends in it's own way. Today, i am going to share the contributions of another legendary cricketer WAQAR YOUNIS in the game of cricket.
Former Test and ODI captain of the Pakistan cricket team, Waqar Younis was born on 16 November, 1977. A right-arm fast bowler, Waqar is regarded as one of the greatest bowlers of all time. In his entire career from 1989 to 2003, Waqar played 87 Tests and 262 One Day International (ODI) matches for Pakistan. He is commonly known as "Toe-Crusher" due to his skillful tactics to reverse the ball at a high speed. He is the youngest bowler to take 400 wickets in ODI cricket.
Burewala Express (nickname) gave the whole world of cricket a new direction in furious full length yorkers. The way he used to do banana swing to distract the batsman and reverse swing at high speed are some innovative techniques which were brilliantly explored by Waqar. Sri Lankna fast bowler, Lasith Malinga, who became the first bowler in World Cup history to take two hat-tricks, has said
I learnt to bowl the deadly yorkers by watching Pakistan's legendary pair of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis

There is no short cuts in the life, everyone has to bear the pains of efforts while achieving something exceptional. No body in the entire world, achieve the status of success without passion. We should work really hard, to become a living legend just like the Burewala Express, The Toe Crusher aka Waqar Younis :)
Enjoy Your Sunday!
Waqar was a strong bowling foundation for Pakistan along with Akram at one time. He had wonderful yorkers to defeat the batsman.
