10 greatest Pakistani cricketers of all-time

#8 Abdul Qadir

Abdul Qadir is, far and away, the greatest leg-spinner Pakistan have ever produced. He took 236 wickets in his 67 Test matches and has the best figures in an innings for a Pakistani in Test cricket, having taken 9/56 against England in Lahore in 1987. Graham Gooch, who was one of Qadir’s 9 dismissals, said that Qadir was even better than Shane Warne, and there can surely be no bigger compliment to Qadir than that. He was a true magician with the ball in hand as he had a bag of tricks up his sleeve, often using 2-3 variations in one single over and possessed a well disguised googly with which he confounded plenty of batsmen.
