Transcript

00:00Let's go back to the second Test match between Pakistan and Australia, played in Brisbane

00:05from November 27 to December 1, 1981.

00:09In this match, Pakistan's legendary fastballer Imran Khan gave a brilliant performance.

00:14He bowled 40 overs including 6 mid-ins and took 4 wickets for 92 runs.

00:19Even though Pakistan lost the match by 10 wickets, but Imran Khan's spell was a treat

00:23to watch.

00:24When he is in full rhythm, it's pure joy for cricket fans.

00:27Now it is the perfect time to look back and enjoy this golden memory from the 1981 series

00:33between Australia and Pakistan.

00:57As you can see, and hitting Hughes above the pad.

01:03That's something that Hughes has got to get accustomed to.

01:05That ball will bounce far more than the older ball.

01:09Khan gave Hughes a stinging blow with his first delivery with that new ball, and here the

01:14baller puts the issue completely beyond doubt.

01:17And at the start of the match, that was the story, Greg Chappell.

01:2218 centuries, now moves on to 19, just below Harvey and Sir Donald Bradbury.

01:29He's bowled him!

01:30What a beautiful delivery that from Imran Khan, the ball just holding up, and it seemed that

01:34Kim Hughes thought that he had it covered.

01:37Well, it beat the outside edge of the bat and hit off stump.

01:39So the end of Kim Hughes out of bowls by Imran Khan for 28.

01:43Just the shot in the arm that Pakistan needed.

01:46With Hughes there, beaten by the movement off of him, and I still feel that his head was not

01:52behind the line of the ball completely.

01:54That's the end of Hughes.

01:56Deceived Hughes completely.

01:57He thought the ball was coming in.

02:00The ball, in fact, held its own, and Hughes finished up playing just inside the line of the ball.

02:08And the fourth wicket now has fallen, with the Australian total of 200 seconds over, 4-4-3-20.

02:16Imran Khan to Wellham.

02:20Oh, he didn't handle that well at all.

02:22Imran going around the wicket gave him a nasty one, stirred him up.

02:27Bought the breakfast up a bit.

02:31And that is right between the eyes.

02:34Shows the value of a batsman who is not confident of avoiding them,

02:41their value in wearing a helmet.

02:42That has pinned the Australian badge, that one.

02:46Straight between the eyes, and Dirk Wellham didn't handle that one too well at all.

02:50It always should try and get inside the line of it, if you're attempting to hook,

02:56or whether you're not going to hook at all.

02:58Oh, that was nearly a chance.

03:07Short leg was up, and the ball went to ground.

03:09The end of a very good over for Imran.

03:11It was a good follow-up from Imran, not a bouncer on that occasion.

03:18Short into the ribs, and Sikanda just up a little bit too much.

03:23Australia 4-320.

03:25The goal that he's able to deliver one ball such as this.

03:33Oh, well, ball.

03:35Now, that's that same ball that kept low, but even before it kept low,

03:40it was the one that came back in the air very, very sharply, and then kept on after three.

03:47And what a great fire Imran Karnes.

03:50As you saw, it went between the gate, as Richie Benno said.

03:52Wellham was beaten by the movement of that ball, but certainly also by the fact

03:56that it kept exceptionally low after pitching very, very short indeed.

04:00So Wellham has been torpedoed. The total five for 439.

04:09But there were some mysterious bowling changes in the part of Meandad.

04:14After he took the second new ball, he bowled eight overs with it,

04:18and then immediately took his quicker bowlers off and put his spinners on in the person of Rajah,

04:22whom he followed with Ejaz.

04:24So he obviously feels there's not much in this wicket for the quicker bowlers,

04:30but Imran is proving him wrong.

04:33By far the most successful bowler on the Pakistan side.

04:36Now bowling to a leg-side field with two men behind square leg, ready for the hook,

04:41with a missed time to loft it.

04:49And across goes another man.

04:54So far is just going to forward square leg.

05:04Imran Khan to Rodney Marsh.

05:09And there's a shout there.

05:10Wazhin Bari is quite a bit.

05:12Marsh is not too pleased at the appeal.

05:16Imran is not too pleased at not having it allowed.

05:18Here's the whole episode again.

05:26And there was deflection, but did it come off the chest?

05:28Or did it?

05:29Didn't look to me as though it got anywhere near the bat, really.

05:32Might be easier if we have a look at it from behind.

05:34So we're going to have Imran Khan again after that slice of bad luck.

05:50When Marsh was not out caught behind on the leg's side.

05:55About to resume the attack against his old antagonist, Rodney Marsh.

06:08It's up to Joker.

06:10But just a little bit too forward.

06:12Not bad tactics, really, because it seems that Imran has set up the trap.

06:23Indicating to Marsh that he's going to pitch a couple short.

06:25He's got two men behind, square, fairly deep.

06:28And he was trying to pitch that ball up.

06:30And there's the two men.

06:33Right on the fence, indicating that the bouncer might be coming.

06:36And then having lulled Marsh into that way of thinking,

06:39the attempt would be full of pitch delivery.

06:42And in fact, that's the leg bicycle.

06:45So he goes back to 198.

06:53Imran Khan to Rodney Marsh.

06:58That all came from Imran Khan.

07:01There's probably one from Rodney Marsh as well.

07:04Five for four, four, five.

07:06Press the crowd, roar.

07:07Chappell looks at the bounce.

07:10A real pressure decision coming on the umpire.

07:13Pitching and darting in very quickly.

07:15Greg Chappell just coming.

07:16Rodney Marsh.

07:17And Marsh is on 27.

07:19In the commentary box, we have Tony Greg and Frank Tyson.

07:27That's in the air and laid down the ground.

07:29That could be out.

07:29It's out caught.

07:30Yes, so miscued there by Marsh.

07:32The ball's skying up to Zaheer.

07:35Makes no mistake with the catch.

07:36And now Imran Khan level with Mahmood on 139 test wickets.

07:42Handshake from Safras as a result of this wicket.

07:44That ball moving into Marsh.

07:46Marsh trying to hit him on the onside,

07:48getting a leading edge,

07:49skying to Zaheer at mid-off.

07:51So Marsh is out.

07:52The first wicket of the morning has fallen.

07:54Seven for 469.

07:55In the 1981 test series between Pakistan and Australia, Imran Khan was the star performer

08:02for Pakistan.

08:03Despite Australia winning the series 2-1, but Imran Khan all-round skills stood out

08:08and earned him the Player of the Series award.

08:11His fast-balling and determined batting made a big impact, especially in the final match of the

08:15series.

08:16Across the three-match series, Imran Khan took an impressive 16 wickets and scored 108 runs.

08:21Imran Khan's exceptional performance throughout the series not only highlighted his individual

08:26talent but also played a pivotal role in Pakistan's historic win in the final test.

08:31His contributions with both bat and ball remain a highlight in the annals of cricket history.

08:36Imran Khan is known for his pace, accuracy, and ability to swing the ball both ways.

08:42He led Pakistan's bowling attack for over a decade, often delivering match-winning

08:46performances, especially in tough conditions.

08:48Imran Khan combined raw speed with smart tactics, making him a dangerous baller in both test and

08:54ODI formats.

08:55His ability to reverse swing the old ball revelationized fast-balling and inspired a

09:00generation of passers around the world.
