The Pakistan team mostly had players of test match standards. Fazal Mahmood had also played for the first Pakistan representative team. But he did not get much attention. In 1951, an MCC team led by Neil Howard came on a tour to Pakistan. Fazal Mahmood guided his team to victory with his leg cutters. The controversial LBW decisions in this match found a mention even in the Wisden magazine, regarded as the Bible of Cricket. It is said that the Pakistani umpires refused at least 30 appeals against the Pakistani batsmen by the MCC bowlers. But without caring for it, Pakistan and its fans celebrated its victory.
In the last 25 years, 12 matches between India and Pakistan have ended in a draw. The reason for this is very clear. They don’t want to lose the match at any cost. Great players from Pakistan made a significant change in International Cricket. Imran Khan, Wasim Akram amd Waqar Younis were bowling figures from Pakistan. They contributed many to the international cricket. Reverse swing was invented by Pakistani bowlers. Imran Khan is considered to be the inventor of this trick. It added sharpness to fast bowlers. Wickets were faiilng apart when this trick was used.
