Brett Lee Former Australian Fast Bowler says that He couldn't forget the Yorkers of Waqar Younis
Lahore: Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has not forgotten the Yorkers of national cricket team's reverse swing specialist Waqar Younis.
Speaking at the first ever Eid-ul-Fitr party at the Sydney Cricket Ground, legendary Australian fast bowler Brett Lee said that the speed with which Pakistani fast bowler Waqar Younis brought the ball inside was his great strength. He said that Waqar Younis' reverse Swing Yorkers were very dangerous for right-handed batsmen while no batsman had a chance to understand them. The former fast bowler of the national cricket team represented Pakistan in 87 Tests and 262 ODIs in which he took 373 and 416 wickets respectively.
The event was attended by Cricket Australia Chief Executive Nick Hockley
Sydney Cricket Ground Chairman Neil Maxwell, Pakistan's High Commissioner to Australia and well-known boxer Sonny Bill Williams and other members of the Muslim community. For the first time during the ceremony, prayers were offered after the call to prayer at the Sydney Cricket Ground while the ceremony was conducted by Aziz Kamil Khan, a fast bowler.
I couldn't Forget the Yorkers of Waqar Younis, my former manager in London. And now he's working for another team again as an agent who works on overseas players with big money offers from their countries. Can you tell us about it and how we can get involved?

In a heartfelt column on ESPN cricinfo, Lee wrote that he remembers well how you can hear their voice and feel something in your bones when they deliver it off spinners like James Faulkner. "I had never heard so much from someone who didn't know me," said Australia captain Michael Clarke to which I agree fully. That was one moment where my mind did some work as if there is no tomorrow for him outside Sydney Cricket Ground or somewhere else - though we'll miss those great memories whenever anyone will listen.

'The win is now official at 38 runs so we will concentrate on what really matters,' said Pakistani captain Shoaib Malik after his side lifted the trophy which started off badly going down to two fours by Indian bowlers Harbhajan Singh, who won game one over Shahid Afridi while Ravi Ashwin gave away second wicket against Pakistan.

"I've just sat here thinking back to how he has thrown everything up and down," Lee told a crowd of over 100 cricket fans gathered for the event. But it appears one thing is certain - bowling this way suits Pakistan's attack more than anyone else in recent times.
1. He praised Waqar Younis saying that if he had been born earlier he would have become a better bowler than Wasim Akram.
2. He mentioned that Waqar's bowling style was different from other bowlers because he used to swing the ball both ways.

5. He added that he did not know how Waqar managed to get the ball to swerve even though they played spinners in their domestic league.
6. He went on to say that the best thing about Waqar was the way he bowled the ball out of the ground.
