As a child I use to make my nan sit with me and watch cricket...after a couple of weeks she started asking 'when's that Omar Khayam gonna come on?!' Seventy year old lady without the first clue about cricket an even she loved him! Genius.

I met Qadir in 1997 in Lahore. He is a very down to earth guy. He was kind enough to share his bowling method. Unlike conventional leg spin bowling grip where the bowlers have two fingers up & two down. Qadir's grip was three fingers on one side of the ball & the index finger on the other side of the ball. So he used his wrist and the last three fingers to impart the spin on the ball. He never had a coach & taught himself the art of leg spin. To me he is the uncrowned king of spin.

Very nice compilation. I am in awww. This is talent. Other than Abdul Qadir's variations, I absolutely love the trajectory of his Leg breaks. Most of his victims were lured into playing an aggressive shot. Even the keeper couldn't pick his Leg break from the Googly.. What a great asset to Cricket.

love that smoking duck....
This is really the first chance I've had to analyze his bowling. His style is truly unique. It's not classic like Warne or MacGill; he's a little bit quicker and his legbreaks don't often turn sharply. It's also not like Chandra or Kumble; he's not that quick and he extracts less bounce. He does get significant movement in the air, even on straight ones, his googly couldn't be sharper, and the subtlety of his variations is impeccable. This is a gem of a compilation.
