TO WASIM AKRAM
ON HIS BIRTHDAY
3 JUNE 1966
Although I’ve never seen you play
They say you were the sultan of your day
Personally I think you still are...
Your swing I’ve heard was special in its own way
And the final of 1992
We couldn't have won it without you
Our man of the match...
The first man to take a hat trick in ODI
The man that made batsmen cry
If you ask me I could bet my life that if you still played
They'd still be afraid...
Of you...
And our two "W"s
Now that I’ve grown you've retired
I wish I could see you in the green attire
Again...
Although I’ve never seen you play
Seeing you bowl in old games still makes my day
THIS EMOTIONAL OUTBURST WAS JUST TO SAY
I WISH YOU A HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Note:Wasim Akram is the brilliant Pakistani bowler dubbed as swing kay sultan for his unique bowling. He has taken as much as 900 wickets in tests and One day Internationals alike. He was the first person to take an hat trick in ODI series. He was the man of the match in the 1992 world cup. Him and our other bowler Waqar Younis were known as the two Ws. No one has ever managed to match his brilliance and his class. He is a commentator now.
