About Us
I am Waqar from Pakistan. I am a researcher currently working in Australia. I am a die-hard cricket lover. The reason behind starting this website is to write about the vintage cricket stories of the thrilling matches and legendary players of the greatest eras of cricket, especially the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, plus to give my analysis on the current matches, including the upcoming World T20 in June 2024.
My Passion for Cricket:
My passion for cricket could stem from a variety of reasons, both personal and cultural. I grew up watching the sport with family and friends, creating cherished memories tied to the game. The excitement of each match, the skilful plays, and the intense competition ignited a deep love for the sport within me. Growing up, I listened to the stories of the Great Imran Khan. I watched Legendary players like Shahid Afridi, Wasim Akram, and Shoaib Akhtar, which took my interest in cricket to the next level. Currently, Babar Azam is a champion of cricket whose batting I love to enjoy.
Babar Azam is a fantastic captain and player due to his exceptional batting technique and consistency, making him one of the world’s leading run-scorers. His calm demeanour and composed leadership style foster a positive team environment. Additionally, his ability to perform in high-pressure situations and against top opponents solidifies his reputation as a premier cricketer and leader.
Mohammad Amir is another world-class player whom I regard very highly. He is a fantastic bowler due to his exceptional pace and ability to swing the ball both ways, making him a constant threat to batters. His experience and composure under pressure enable him to perform brilliantly in crucial moments. His resilience and ability to make strong comebacks have cemented his reputation as a top-tier fast bowler.
I also love the Australian cricket team because they have a competitive mindset, emphasising discipline and resilience. Also, their professionalism and enthusiasm in the field make them a formidable and consistently successful team. Pat Cummins stands out as a fantastic captain and player due to his exceptional skill as a fast bowler, consistently delivering match-winning performances. His calm and composed leadership style inspires confidence and unity within the team. His ability to perform under pressure solidifies his reputation as a top-tier cricketer and leader.
Virat Kohli is another player whom I admire so much. He excels as a player due to his extraordinary batting skills, consistently ranking among the top in the world. Kohli’s fitness and work ethic set a benchmark for his team, inspiring improved standards. Moreover, his ability to perform under pressure and in critical situations cements his reputation as a cricketing great.
I admire and Love watching other players as well as such as Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Henrich Klassen, David Miller, Andre Russell, Wanindu Hasaranga, Angelo Mathews, Bas de Leede, JJ Smit, Aasif Sheikh to name few.
Finally, with this website, I will cover cricket-related stuff happening worldwide. I will highlight talented players, raise voices for those players who suffered from injustices and will try to promote the beautiful game of cricket.
