Oh man, back when our cricketers had personality. They didn't need to do meaningless press conferences and TV shows to stay relevant, but simply had the aura. Must've been good times.

Now we have Akmal, Shehzada, and Afridi :facepalm:

I hope he plays in England with the beard, will look like a battle-hardened veteran. :moyo

Umrah mubarak to him though.

What a superb tour that was for him. That double hundred that average of 90. Wow.
 
just stumbled on a website that colourises old black and white pics, so decided to colourise a pic of the OG Pakistani fast bowler, Fazal Mahmood

No, no. I'm not in the picture.

Ijaz Ahmed is third to the right of Wasim Akram.

The only other one I can remember is a guy called Tahir Mahmood who is the shortest guy in the picture.

Photo’s not clear, can’t even see most faces, but the guy on the extreme right, on Wasim’s left, might be Mohsin Kamal, that tall pacer from the mid 80s to the mid 90s.

Intikhab in the back, Mushtaq Mohammad on the left and Miandad on the right. Real test would be to figure out what year and in which country. So Miandad's first three tours with Inti and Mush were.... 1975 England (World Cup). 1976 Aus and then West Indies.

It's in australia 1976-77 tour.u can see the rottnest Island ferries advertisement back in the picture. Island is in Perth and from Sydney it will take 3 days.i see test series happened in Melbourne and Sydney but Sydney match happened as usual as the last one. So they may have brought few souvenirs before departure and that road looks familiar to me.i think it's called as China town now and sell all kind of less expensive/cheap gifts.
