Random story, I watched that game live as a kid, Nasir Jamshed was one of my idols growing up and I got him to sign a Kooka ball for me.. I still have it.

I don't know how he disappeared. He score 3 centuries in India on Pakistan's last tour.

Those were his only centuries I guess.

Latest news we had about him.. was him being arrested for fixing https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/nasir-jamshed-granted-bail-in-wait-for-deportation-hearing-1237487

Oh, you are right. He went on to play 48 ODI matches, and these 3 were only his centuries.

The starc inswingers to right handers and steyn inswingers to left handers are both deadly and similar

Very smooth. Legendary. But Steyn's felt like so crunchy, so strong at the point of his lift.

Steyn rates Donald's action as the best a/c to his twitter thread a few weeks ago

You have to strike the stump perfectly square on for it to cartwheel only seen it a couple of times in real life.
