Abdul Qadir (cricketer)

Qadir kept leg-spin alive in the 1980s, when fast bowling dominated, with a bouncing, theatrical run-up and a full set of variations: leg-break, googly, top-spinner and flipper. His 9 for 56 against England at Lahore in 1987 is the spell to find. Shane Warne later said Qadir's example had shown him what a wrist-spinner could be.
