During a recent interaction between Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Islamabad United Strategy Manager, Hasan Cheema, and England fast bowler, Steve♉n Finಞn, the former has made an exciting revelation regarding two of the greats of Pakistan cricket.
According to Cheema, legendary seamer Wasim Akram claimed about Pakistan batting stalwart Misbah-ul-Haq bei♔ng a four-ball batsman.
Over the years, the ‘Sultan of Swing’ has caused problems to several batting geniuses during his era with his swing and seam movements.
Also, Akram was a mꦑaster of se🌞tting up batsmen with his inswing and outswing deliveries, thereby, becoming one of the skilful bowlers in world cricket.
In his glittering career🌼, Akram has over 900 international scalps with over 400 wickets in both Tests and ODI cricket, the only fast bowler to achieve the feat.
C𒈔heema, during a chat with Finn on Youtube, revealed about the conversation he had with Akram during one of the training sessions in Dubai.
Finn had represented Is🍷lamabad United during the second and the third season of the PSL.
“Why doesn’t Finn get him [Misbah] out every other ball? He is a four-ball batsman. I know how to get him out in four balls,” Akram told Cheema.
After making his debut, Misbah developed quite a reputation for bein✱g a stubborn batsman who puts a price on his 𒆙wicket.
His defences were one of the most difficult ones to dislodge. �🎶�Misbah performed out of his skin against arch-rivals India.
To which, Finn concurred with his statement by talking about the time during the training session in ICC’s academy, where he managed to swing a white-ball, presently renowned to be flatter.
“You remember he bowled in that training session as well. Everyone talks about the white ball not swinging these days. I watched him for about an hour. He was shining this ball perfectly and then swung pretty much every ball either way he wanted. So, they do swing,” Finn replied.
