Back with Vengeance

Down but definitely not out. And now he is back - a more matured Waqar with the same deadly reverse swing. He blasted the critics by snatching five wickets to get the man of the match award against India in the second league of Coca-Cola Cup in Sharjah. A mentally tougher, Waqar gives all credit to self belief and sheer hard work.

Things were not going his way. Critics said he had lost the great Waqar touch, fans gave up hope. But when the going gets tough ……..the tough gets going and Mr. Tough is back with the "Famous Waqar yorkers". The zest for the game he loves made him come back. He believed in himself when nobody believed in him. And now his rhythm and confidence is back. He seems to be getting into the right frame of mind and believes mental therapy helped him a lot. Recently married, he says his marriage played a big part in his come back. It helped him becoming a stable person and his wife stood by him when he was down, as he says, " She helped in bringing out the best in me."

The silent war between Waqar and Akram is well known. But both respect and support each other on the field. A man of few friends……that's Waqar Younis. Wah Waqar !!!!
