Abdul Qadir

Abdul Qadir

was my hero for a long time. He was real fun to watch. He was a magician with the ball I loved to watch him bowl when I was a kid. In fact thinking back, about my early days of cricket there are really very few names that stick around in my mind. And interestingly most of them seem either Pakistani or West Indian. In fact English players are prominent by their absence.

Hers the list of players I really used to enjoy watching when I was a kid
1. Abdul Qadir
2. Imran Khan
3. Viv Richards
4. Merv Hughes
5. David Boon
6. Kapil Dev
7. Laxman Sivaramakrishnan


Apart from these I also remember watching a recording of a few overs that Michael Holding bowled.....and man...His run up was so smooth that I instantly loved it...
