Good.

Thanks for sharing. Some great pictures there.

Let's see who can guess next 3 players....

This player never played any international cricket but came very close to playing for Pakistan and is related to another very famous Pakistan player.

Picture # 28.

 

[W63L35]

This player played less than 5 tests for Pakistan....but did not get selected for any ODIs.

Picture #: 29

 

[W63L35]

This player comes from a big cricketing family....never played a test match for Pakistan but did play less than 3 ODIs for Pakistan.

Picture: 31

 

[W63L35]

No need to guess any players in next few pics..!

 

[dhump]

28) Anwar Miandad

 

[W63L35]

28) Anwar Miandad

Correct!!

 

[W63L35]

most of them look like runaway criminals

Like who?

So you judge people by their looks?

 

[kungfu90]

most of them look like runaway criminals

lol whats wrong with you.
Wasim and Imran are looking cool.

 

[W63L35]

most of them look like runaway criminals

well most of the Pakistani cricketers(past and present) are known for their criminal-like behavior....both on and off the field....no prizes for guessing those players

I did not ask for who is a known criminal. I asked who looks like a criminal. May be ICC can use your formula to catch those look-like criminals before they are known criminals.

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

What an epic thread..

Thank you..

[GentleMan]

i feel homesick when i see these vintage pics..wish i could time travel and stay in that era where men didnt wax their chests..those bushy mustaches and those thick sideburns.. just pure testosterone.

 

[W63L35]

akher, thanks for posting. Really nice pics!

The Imran birthday picture is a gem......

Anybody know who these 3 players are from that pic?

.

 

[akheR]

^I'd like to know who they are too!

Talking of Imran Kha, future PM of Pakistan deserves a whole thread <3 but here some

In 1980

With the great English all-rounder Ian Botham ; was some sort of 'rivalry' between them

Was a favourite of the press in the UK back then

A bit different from London ; in the tribal areas

In the beautiful Gilgit Baltistan, having a stimulating discussion with a little kid, and God only knows how many children of his age can thank Imran for SKMH

With Javed Miandad and another magician, Abdul Qadir, the man who revived leg spin in Test cricket and was rated as Viv Richards himself as the best spinner he ever faced.

Meri chaplain to dekho

Following picture should tell you why he was a potential contender for James Bond role following Roger Moore's footsteps

'Big boys play at night' indeed... with Zaheer Abbas on the left

Signing autographs

 

[W63L35]

^I'd like to know who they are too!

I was just checking the score cards of the side matches on that tour and I think, now I know who they are!

Talking of Imran Kha, future PM of Pakistan deserves a whole thread <3 but here some

O wow.... fantastic pics specially with that Baltistani kid! Amazing pic!
Thanks again!

Keep them coming!

 

[Dr Khan]

Imran's shirt says " Big boys play at Night", ironic isnt it

 

[W63L35]

Imran's shirt says " Big boys play at Night", ironic isnt it

You did not notice kerry Packer logo ...who started night cricket. Look at the letter "I" in night..... it is stumps and cricket ball.... with WSC (World Series Cricket) under the letter "I". Just in case you did not know, Imran played for Kerry Packer's W.S.C.

I know about Kerry Pecker but was referring to some other games Imran was famous for playing at night at that time

 

[W63L35]

How do you know? Were you present at those games? Participant or spectator?

 

[Dr Khan]

[W63L35]

post 350, is no 3 Sadiq Mohammad?

No. Sadiq is way in the back in the same pic.

 

[Dr Khan]

is no 2 Majid Khan?

 

[akheR]

I was just checking the score cards of the side matches on that tour and I think, now I know who they are!

Names ?

Some other pictures...

Sarfraz Nawaz

Saleem Jaffar (said to be the 'Irfan Pathan' of his era... huh : p)

Abdul Qadir... magician!

Waqar Hasan

Pervez Sajjad

Rashid Khan

Qasim Umar, a talented opening batsman who didn't live up to his talent (as it always happens in Pak!)

Shahid Mahmoob, bowler who could bat but unfortunately had to have his Test debut on some India's flat road

Mohammad Farooq, who was to be said a 'genuine' fast bowler

Nasim ul Ghani, all rounder who "...holds the world record for the youngest person to get a 5 wicket haul in Test cricket aged 16 years 303 days following his 5-116 against West Indies in 1958"

 

[GentleMan]

Imran khan looks stylish in anything he does..he can be making an omelette in the kitchen and still look more stylish than adonis.

 

[W63L35]

[FusedBulb]

He has played test cricket for Pakistan and it's not a vintage picture, it's an easy one

​

Another easy one,,, but look at Javed. It seems like as if he has some tight looking girl up his sleeve and he is trying to make others jealous. I think he must be looking at Imran Khan who is out of the frame.

​

 

[akheR]

Mohammed Akram, our most recent bowling coach, was said to have the pace but not the control and couldn't get in during the double Ws era anyway ; love the aggression in this picture :rambo:

Mohammed Zahid, world's fastest bowler EVEEER

Shahid Nazir, now forgotten but a more-than-decent swing bowler

Mohammad Wasim, a promising batsman... back then

Ijaz 'The Butcher' Ahmed, who once destroyed India LOL (search for " Ijaz Ahmed 139* off 84 balls vs India, 9 sixes! 1997", thanks to robelinda)

Mudassar Nazar

Zahoor Elahi... VVS Laxman's look alike ?!

Wasim Akram

Tahir Naqqash

Lalaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[W63L35]

He has played test cricket for Pakistan and it's not a vintage picture, it's an easy one

I think, it is Azeem Hafeez. I saw his interview on TV the other day!

Look at picture #2 in post #1 in this thread.

 

[ddss]

Why does Wasim Raja always look angry.

[GentleMan]

not ashamed to admit..but some of the pics are real drool worthy..even for a guy like me..i fell in love with the first thing pakistani that i have..my towel..made in the the same place where these debonair players were made!!

 

[akheR]

Why does Wasim Raja always look angry.

The smooth operator was probably already polishing his Anglisch and his brother was probably his first experiment.

Found one tho' where he seems happy

and

) Difference of class.

[corneredtiger85292]

Sensational thread !

[shah_1]

I like this a lot

 

[akheR]

Picture # 19

Asif Masood was said to have a really 'special' action for a fast bowler

He used to begin his run-up with a backward step before a loping approach to the wicket which John Arlott likened to "Groucho Marx chasing a pretty waitress".

^looks like same stature and a nice moustache

Found a very rare picture..............from 1976-1977

After their world record first wicket partnership Waheed Mirza and Mansoor Akhtar pose with Hanif Mohammad;

Mansoor Akhtar

Hanif Mohammad, 'Little Master', legend

His brothers : Sadiq & Mushtaq in 1971, left and right respectively.
Mushtaq esp. was a damn talented all rounder, has some records but the fact that he averages 40 with the bat and -30 with ball (he was a leg-spinner) in Test cricket is already telling.

The two, Hanif and Mushtaq, together

Taslim Arif, for 20 years held the record of the HS by a WK in Tests (210* vs Australia)

 

[A-1]

Some pics that I had
Imran
