DESCRIPTION
Autobiography of a Pakistan Cricket Legend - Fazal Mahmood
Cricket is one of the most popular games in Pakistan and Fazal Mahmood’s autobiography makes riveting reading. An outstanding cricketer, Fazal made a vital contribution to Pakistan cricket in its formative years. His memoirs provide anecdotal accounts of clubs and first class cricket in pre-1947 India. These anecdotes bring to life not only some of the great heroes of Pakistani cricket, but also some of the greatest cricketers of the world during the 1940s and 1950s.
"Fazal, simply unplayable in his day. My most difficult and memorable innings was at the Oval against him where I scored 53 in 1954." - Denis Compton
"If cricket was played as much in those days as now, Fazal would have taken a thousand wickets." - Sir Alec Bedser
"Fazal Mahmood, a great friend and a great bowler. A very intelligent and difficult bowler to play. - Syed Mushtaq Ali
"Fazal always bowled accurately with great variety. A great bowler of his time. His inclusion in the Indian team to Australia in 1947 would have made the difference." - Madhav Mantri
"Fazal could make the ball talk on a matting wicket." - Neil Harvey
"On matting Fazal was often unplayable; on grass he could be equally devastating. To the casual observer he might have appeared harmless and just another bowler putting his arm over. But what a guile and consummate skill went into every ball." - Alex Bannister
