The 1970's-80's was the period when the fiery fast bowling of Thomson, Lillie, Joel Garner was sending shivers down the unfortunate batsmen's spines. The art of wrist spinning was seeking an interview with an undertaker when a wizard came in the form of Abdul Qadir and weaved magic and life into it.
Abdul Qadir blended the craftiness of a spinner with a natural aggressiveness and send down havoc on the batsmen.
One of the golden moments in spin bowling history came when Abdul Qadir careered through the visiting team England's batting lineup in Lahore in 1987-88. He ended the day with unbelievable figures of 9 for 56.
As he passes his days in retirement, Abdul Qadir hopes that his son Salman too, will some day don the test cap for Pakistan.
