 Section 2: Communication Skills
Please read the following passage and answer the multiple-choice questions that follow.
Wasim Akram was the master swing bowler of the modern era. With Waqar Younis he formed one of
the most lethal fast-bowling partnerships in the history of the game. When Wasim and Waqar were in
their pomp during the mid-1990s they were a formidable force, decimating batting line-ups, and making
Pakistan one of the world's best teams.
Wasim provided a finesse in his bowling that was rare in fast bowlers. Waqar, the perfect foil, pounded
into bowl fast and furiously. He also had great skill, but Wasim was the magician when it came to
deception.
I only played against Wasim on a handful of occasions at the tail-end of his career. The first time was in
the Champions Trophy in Kenya. He bowled just one delivery at me - a fast, skiddy bouncer that I ducked
under. The next time was in Sharjah, where he uprooted my stumps with a vicious, swinging yorker with
the new ball. The only time I prospered was in an innings in Morocco, back in 2002. During those brief
encounters I discovered first-hand just why the world's great batsmen, the Tendulkars, Laras, de Silvas
and Jayasuriyas, spoke of Wasim with such awe and respect.
Wasim was probably the most skillful and deceptive fast bowler I have watched. Nothing was ever the
same twice in a row. He tested every single part of your game as a batsman, probing away for chinks in
your technique.
He would seem to be rushing towards you at the end of his run-up. He had great balance and a quick
arm action, coupled with very strong shoulders, and had the ability to bowl deliveries that could be
anywhere between 120 and 145kph with no discernible change in his action. This rapid change in pace
from one delivery to the next was lethal.
Long before I seriously thought about a future career in cricket, I remember watching two of the most
unforgettable deliveries ever, in the final of the 1992 World Cup. England were chasing 249 for victory
and going well on 141 for 4 when Wasim came back for a mid-innings spell.
The first ball was the one round the wicket to Allan Lamb, England's match-winner during that period.
The ball seemed to swing into the batsman, only to nip away at the last minute and take his off stump.
It was a wicked, unplayable delivery. The next was perhaps even better, swinging about two feet to bowl
Chris Lewis’ first ball. Lewis looked dumbfounded.
These deliveries were produced in the middle of the innings with the old ball. It was this unmatched
ability to reverse-swing the ball that was Wasim's hallmark. It was an ability that was dogged by
controversy, with many accusations around the world that reverse swing was the product of ball-
tampering. I think these controversies took the focus away from what was a supreme skill.
