I AGREE THIS MAN SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK INTO THE PAKISTAN SQUAD,WAT ARE THE SELECTORS THINKING. HE IS THE KING OF SWING,OK NOT AS FAST AS HE USED TO BE BUT HE'S STILL ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD AND SHOULD BE PICKED FOR PAK VS IND IN MARCH. The paragraph below is by Mr abasi for waqar's profile on cricket.org. which shows alot of facts about this great player.
Waqar Younis bucked the 1980s trend of pitching fast and short by pitching fast and full. Not an obvious recipe for success until you factor in prodigious late inswing, designed to smash into the base of leg stump or the batsman’s toes. In his youth, he was one of the fastest ever. Waqar’s surging run is a glorious sight - and an incredible strain on his body. His method of aiming for the stumps rather than the batsman has earned him the best strike rate of any bowler with over 200 Test wickets.(KAMRAN Abasi-CRICKET.ORG)
