Pakistan’s legendary former captain Wasim Akram said that neither Tendulkar nor Lara, but Martin Crowe faced the most difficulty while bowling.
Pakistan’s legendary former captain Wasim Akram has said that he found it very difficult to bowl the famous batsman Martin Crowe and he scored runs against us in the era when the world did not know about reverse swing. Details According to a foreign TV program, he was asked the question that you have troubled many batsmen, but which batsman did you face a difficult time? To which Wasim Akram said that this is a very difficult question because I have played with many famous cricketers including Vion Richard, Alan Border, Mark Taylor, Mark Waugh, Steve Waugh, Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar and to choose one of them. It’s hard to do.
The Sultan of Swing continued his speech and said that I had a hard time getting Martin Crowe to bowl me. He scored runs against me and Waqar Younis during the tour of Pakistan in 1993.
In three Test matches, Waqar Younis took 30 wickets while I took 16 wickets. During that series, the ball would reverse swing after 10 overs and we were both 23-24 years old and at the peak of our careers. But Martin Crowe scored two hundreds because his technique was very good, he was always on the front foot and playing only the in-swinging ball, whenever the ball is reverse-swinging, the batsman plays only reverse-swinging because Outswing is automatically avoided by the bat.
Martin Crowe was on the front foot all the time and we were frustrated and bowling short pitches and that’s what he wanted us to do. I am also taking the name of Martin Crowe because nobody knew reverse swing in that era even though Brian Lara, Mark Taylor and Sachin Tendulkar also scored runs against us.
