From the Vault: Wasim bamboozles Australia again

After taking six Austalian wickets in the first innings of the 1990 MCG Test, Pakistan legend Wasim Akram continued his excellent match with another five wickets in the second innings. He took the key wickets of Dean Jones and Steve Waugh and finished with his first (of three) 11-wicket hauls in Tests.

[@dr.allmight7810]

He could have added another 200 wickets to his name if Pakistani fielders held on to their catches😂! He was absolute genius!

[@imranhussain4304]

More wickets would be depending how much more match he had played Bcz I agree the catches drop from his bowling or Umpire decision not in his favour then the wickets have to be taken by him or any other bowler so amount of wickets depends upon how much matches he had played Unfortunately Pakistani ratio is far less then Australia India England That's why Pakistani cricketers not breaking any wickets or run record not even in 500 wickets or 10000 runs any body except younus Khan So you compare wickets vs matches only
