Azhar Mahmood | Heroic Innings 136 Runs | Pakistan vs South Africa Johannesburg Test | Highlights | 

Cricket Golden Memories, was Azhar Mahmood a wasted talent like Basit Ali, Asif Mujtaba, Zahid Fazal & Imran Nazir for pak team in cricket, please let me know.

Azhar came from a very modest background. His cricketing exploits meant a complete transformation of life for him and his family which is really happy and lucky. In countries like pakistan, if you are born poor there are a few ways out especially since access to quality education is rather expensive. Cricket is one of those few options but in a country of nearly 300 million and a class of decision makers who couldnt care less about merit, you need a lot of things on top of raw talent to make it through.

Ye match main ne living tv par dekha tha us waqt mein 6 class mein parhta tha. What a great memory

Very slowoutfield, otherwise the score would have been above 400,n Azhar cross 200+

Excellent innings

A bit of trivia. Azhar Mahmoods innings is listed on Wisden's 100 greatest test innings of all time in the top ten - but not this one. The one after this one in Durban. 132

Us time koi bhi team koi bhi player SA ko nahi khel Sakta tha... But It was Imran nazir and Azhar Mahmood, who just destroyed the bowling of Pollock , Donald, Kallis And Klusener with spin of Pat Symcox.... Continues 3 Centuries by Azhar Mahmood Bhai...

Super allrounder ❤

I saw this innings of Azhar Mahmod on TV when I was in 8th Class golden days of my Childhood it remembers me to take my old bat in my hand and then I use to practice like Him. Bachpan ki yaden hen is 1 Innings men jis k bad Azar Mahmood Pak team ka musakil player ban gaya.

I watched both those 100 💯 live

Another very talented all rounder that pakista politics treated him badly.

Pure talent

Zahar Mahmood is only pakistani batter is nightmare for South Africa I remember this match

Watching in 2024 looks cool , after watching live as a kid Ma'sha'allah From south India

I think SA Bowlers are reacting bit too much.

Really Azhar was awesome in those days Great talent Basit Ali batting was much more better than Sir Viv Richard We have wasted a diamond like basit

Great innings by a youngster indeed that too batting in lower order

7th class mine partha tha yeh Mach dekha tha March April ka menha tha

How goddamn stacked was this bowling line up?

He was failed later on because of poor technique against spin. He was ok with pace bowlers but spin was question mark !

Suresh Raina

It's 136 not 130

This is what is supposed to happen when you keep on pitching the ball towards the leg or off side....

His full name is Azhar Mehmood Sagar, hope u chaps understand!

PCB wasted him specially from our some anchors. Only supported Abdul Razzak..

After hundred throw his wicket like that's pakistani selfish player for u
