Wasim and Waqar by John Crace

Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, Imran Khan's fast-bowling protegees, have helped to make the Pakistan cricket team as formidable opponents to England as the West Indians. Wasim was discovered by chance at the Pakistan annual cricket camp, and in 1985 he played his first Test Match at the age of l8. Waqar was spotted by Imran and had instant success in Test cricket. The book traces the development of their success and popularity, and their effect on the national team. They both speak about their careers, fame, playing for Pakistan and in English county matches, and the stress and injuries which arise from playing non-stop cricket. A chapter added for this edition reflects on Pakistan's controversial England tour in 1992.
