Wasim Akram: The Sultan of Swing Wasim Akram is widely regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers in the history of cricket.#cricket #vintagecricket #cricketlegends A master of conventional and reverse swing, the legendary Pakistani left-arm paceman terrorized batsmen worldwide throughout his illustrious career spanning from 1984 to 2003. Here is a snapshot of his extraordinary career, signature skills, and iconic achievements. The Ultimate Skillset Wasim Akram didn't just bowl fast; he weaponized the cricket ball in ways few had ever seen. He is best remembered for: The King of Reverse Swing: Alongside teammate Waqar Younis, he formed the lethal "Two Wasims" partnership, mastering the art of reverse-swinging an old ball at high speeds. The Unplayable Yorker: His toe-crushing yorkers, delivered from a quick, whipping action, became his ultimate signature delivery. Tactical Versatility: He possessed a brilliant cricket mind, equally lethal with a brand-new ball moving both ways, or a 50-over-old ball reversing at a blistering pace.The 1992 World Cup Final: Akram was the Man of the Match in Pakistan's historic World Cup triumph against England at the MCG. His back-to-back, unplayable deliveries to dismiss Allan Lamb and Chris Lewis completely turned the game on its head and cemented his place in cricket folklore. The Hattrick Master: He remains one of the incredibly rare bowlers to take four international hat-tricks—two in Test cricket (both against Sri Lanka in 1999) and two in ODIs. A Capable All-Rounder: While famous for his bowling, Akram was a dangerous lower-order batsman. He scored nearly 3,000 Test runs, including a magnificent, unbeaten 257 against Zimbabwe* in 1996, which featured a record-breaking 12 sixes. Leadership: He successfully captained Pakistan to the final of the 1999 Cricket World Cup and led the team through some of its most competitive eras in the 1990s. Legacy Inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame, Akram changed the dynamics of left-arm fast bowling forever. Even today, decades after his retirement, his natural skill, rapid arm action, and tactical brilliance remain the gold standard for pacemen around the world.

NETBALL - 2010 COMM GAMES NEW ZEALAND vs ENGLAND At the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the New Zealand netball team topped their pool with four easy victories and a 47–41 win over England. They then won their semi-final against Jamaica comfortably, while the Australian Diamonds’ five-goal margin over England in the other semi-final suggested they were a capable match for the Silver Ferns, their traditional rivals. Just how close the teams were became clear as the match, the longest official game of netball ever played, stretched over 84 pulsating minutes. The match was tight until the Silver Ferns led by seven goals early in the fourth quarter. An Australian comeback reminiscent of their surge to victory in the 1999 world championships final levelled the scores at full-time. There was still nothing between the two teams after 14 minutes of extra time. Under a rule which its drafters surely never expected to be needed, play would continue until one team was two goals ahead. Both Australian shooters missed their chance for glory; Maria Tutaia did not, and the Silver Ferns won 66–64. The epic victory won New Zealand’s second consecutive Commonwealth Games netball gold medal and matched Australia’s triumphs in 1998 and 2002. The balance has subsequently shifted once again. In 2014 the Australian Diamonds thrashed the Silver Ferns 58–40 in the gold medal match. In 2018 the New Zealanders failed to reach the final for the first time and were beaten 60–55 by Jamaica for the bronze. It was scant consolation that the Australasian duopoly was broken when Helen Housby scored in the last second of the final to give England a one-goal victory over Australia.

Thunder complete sweep of Lakers but Gilgeous-Alexander remains calm: ‘We still haven’t reached our goal’ LeBron James and the Lakers had no answer to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Jon Fisher Last Update: 2 minutes ago 3 min read Add us as a preferred source on Google Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finally had a major say against the Lakers but insists the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder have done nothing yet despite cruising into the West Conference finals. Gilgeous-Alexander had been double-teamed throughout the series but the Lakers’ altered approach in Game Four freed him up to score 35 points as the Thunder wrapped up a 4-0 win with a 115-110 triumph. It was the second successive series sweep for the Thunder as they look to back up their success of 12 months ago.
