Pioneers of Cricket Series

[SOPL]

Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Imran Khan. Three names which will forever be considered amongst Test cricket's more elite names and three of the greatest fast bowlers (an all-rounder in the case of Imran Khan) to have ever graced the cricketing field.

Anyway, I just thought it would be commendable of me to post these very interesting documentaries from the Pioneers of Cricket series produced by Sky Sports (at least I think they are). They includes highlights of all of the player's achievements and of course controversies (which an established Pakistani player can't retire without!):

This thread will inter alia serve as a cricket documentaries thread too.

Pitch in with whatever great cricket documentaries/general videos (whether it be highlights packages, interviews etc) you have seen. Please share!

As such, would you mind editing the thread title please, moderators?

I'll begin with the following highlights package - but describing it as such does a huge disservice to the supreme documentary which it is.

I've seen this documentary on countless occasions, and it never ceases to grow old nor dull.

A fitting tribute to a brilliant Test series, perhaps the greatest ever 2 Test series to have ever taken place - and certainly the greatest Pakistan-India Test series ever. Most likely one of the greatest sporting documentaries ever produced and quite possibly the best cricket documentary ever:

SOPL, we do have a cricket on youtube thread already on the forum. You might want to check it out.

Why are the three blokes in the OP called Pioneers of Cricket? Is it the ball tampering, or the not always necessarily having a go 100% of the time against less than great opponents in not at all mysterious circumstances which got them the label?

 

[smash84]

It is about perfecting the art of ball tampering of course.
