00:00Vakar Yunus the name alone brings back the roar of reverse swing and the fear in every batter's

00:06eyes. A right-time fastballer with raw pace and deadly skill, he is widely seen as one of the

00:11greatest fastballers to ever play the game. In the third test at St. John's in May 1993,

00:18Vakar Yunus produced one of his trademark spells. He grabbed 5 for 104 in 28 overs,

00:25including four medians against a strong West Indies batting lineup. He removed big names like

00:31Richie Richardson, Keita Thurton, Junior Murray, Anderson Cummins and Winston Benjamin. So let's

00:38relive that magical 5-week it all and enjoy the vintage memories of the great Vakar Yunus,

00:43the Sultan of reverse swing.

00:55He is caught there by Wazim Akram. Richardson is out, having got away with a tremendous life in the

01:02previous over. He has really committed suicide this time.

01:08Well, I have to say that was a dreadful shot from Richie. I mean, really, this ball isn't short

01:13enough to try that sort of shot. He's looking to pull it and he finishes up having to just try and

01:18hoik it to leg because it isn't short enough. And he's just giving his wicket away like most of his

01:24partners and left West Indies with 159 for four. In the end, unless you've got a lot of pace.

01:32He's gone. He's LBW. Atherton playing right across the line. He moved a long way across his stumps.

01:38I dare say even further than he thought. And umpire Buckner thought about it and then gave the

01:45lingering death signal.

01:47Yes, Keith Atherton moved a long way across his stumps there and Vakar Yunus brought that ball back.

01:51I think the only doubt would have been the height at which he had been hit, but certainly not very high.

01:56His feet were off the ground, but hit him on the roll. He's at a ton goals.

02:00And that's a very good shout. He's out LBW. And that I think would have hit the middle stump.

02:14He made no sort of attempt just playing it from the grease with his toes pointing back down the pitch.

02:19That was very out in my book.

02:26He's out. Came a long way across. Came right inside of his wicket Andy Cummins. So Vakar Yunus gets another

02:32wicket. The partnership is broken and the West Indies are 312 for four eight.

02:36He's been coming across a great deal a la Junior Murray. And both of them have got the problems of the ball

02:47outside off stump.

02:49Straight to mid-on.

02:58So that's the end of it.

03:00Winston Benjamin hitting that ball straight into mid-on's lap.

03:04And Vakar Yunus just advised him. Well, off to the pavilion. Vakar Yunus gets his fifth picket.

03:09But yet another day when the West Indian batsmen were on top. Reaching 344 for nine,

03:15thanks to Karl Hooper. And that's his first test century on his home ground. Vakar Yunus finding

03:20better form for Pakistan with five wickets. Splendid last wicket stand of 106 with Walsh. A new

03:27West Indian record. Pakistan's bowling figures reflecting that late surge with three bowlers conceding.

03:34Even though West Indies reached 438, Vakar Yunus fire kept Pakistan in the front test.

03:40Across his career from 1989 to 2003, Vakar Yunus represented Pakistan in 87 test matches

03:48and 262 ODIs. And every time he ran in, fans knew something special could happen.

03:55Reverse wing at high speed was his biggest weapon. The kind that dipped late, crashed into pads,

04:02and sent Stums Klein. He finished his career with 373 test wickets and 416 ODI wickets.

04:10These numbers that speak louder than words. Alongside Vaseem Akram, Vakar Yunus formed one

04:15of the most dangerous fast-polling pair in cricket history. Their partnership tortured batting lineups

04:21around the world. Vakar Yunus still holds incredible records. The second-best test strike

04:27rate among bowlers with 350 plus wickets only behind Dale's 10. And he is the youngest bowler

04:34ever to reach 440 advocates. Born in Burewala, Punjab, Vakar Yunus grew up like any other boy

04:41with big dreams. He studied in Lughar, then Bahawalpur, and late Burewala. But destiny had

04:47chosen him for something bigger to become a fast-boiling legend. If you liked this week,
