Description

Has there ever been an enigma quite like Mohammad Asif? Even in the colourful history of Pakistan cricket, no one has quite combined both the highs and lows quite like Asif did. In a brief career punctuated by all sorts of scandals, Asif  managed to mesmerise a fandom obsessed with pace by removing it from the equation. A cricketer who bowled like he was playing music, Asif's most famous spell wasn't the best example of his  longform artistry. Yet in compiling a series of video game deliveries against one of cricket's most storied batting lineups,  it was the sort of performance that meant he was never forgotten.
