Wasim Akram-A Shining Star

Think of your favourite Wasim Akram moment.Akram was born in 1966, in Lahore, Pakistan.
He was educated in Islamia College in Lahore, where he played as an opening bowler and batsman.Like several other Pakistani cricketers during the 1980s, his inclusion into the national side was at the behest of a senior player in the team, which in Akram's case, was Javed Miandad.
Akram was diagnosed with diabetes at the peak of his career, but despite the initial psychological blow, he managed to regain his form and went on to produce fine cricketing performances. Since then he has actively sought to be involved in various awareness-raising campaigns for diabetes^.

He was married to Huma Mufti, in 1995. They had two sons Taimur and Akbar, from their marriage of fifteen years. Huma died of multiple organ failure at Apollo Hospital in Chennai, India, on 25 October 2009
A left arm, gifted, it was reputed, from God. What couldn't he do with it? Swing both ways and all kinds, cut, changes of pace, length, angles. Mark Taylor once said he could bowl four balls in an over on the same spot and get them to do four different things. Often, he got one delivery to do four different things. Short, randomly-calculated run-up and a whizzing, economical action couldn't prevent injuries but on his day - and there were plenty - he was the finest fast bowler on the planet and no one had more variety.

Rafael Nadal-A Tennis Pioneer

At age eight, Nadal won an under-12 year regional tennis championship at a time when he was also a promising football player.This made Toni Nadal intensify training, and at that time he encouraged Nadal to play left-handed—for a natural advantage on the tennis court, as he noticed Nadal played forehand shots with two hands^.When Nadal was 12, he won the Spanish and European tennis titles in his age group and was playing tennis and football all the time^. Nadal's father made him choose between football and tennis so that his school work would not deteriorate entirely.

Pakistan Vs Newzealand

Pakistan opener, Hafeez, achieved the feat in his 61^st ODI and paved the way for the other batsmen to use long handle in the death overs as Pakistan scored 126 runs from the last 10 overs to score huge 293 runs for the loss of seven wickets from 50 overs.The greenish appearance of the track proved deceptive as the movement off the seam that Ross Taylor had banked on when opting to field proved negligible. At the same time, conditions weren't too easy for the batsmen early on either as the pitch played slow and low and the ball didn't come on. Hafeez, who has often squandered starts since his promotion to the top of the order, lost two partners, Ahmed Shehzad and Kamran Akmal, to deliveries that appeared to stop on the batsmen. But New Zealand's seamers lacked discipline and failed to apply pressure consistently, which allowed Hafeez to wrest the initiative.
