Dale Steyn praises Shaheen Shah Afridi’s bowling skills

LAHORE: Former South African bowler Dale Steyn showered high praises for Pakistan’s ace pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi’s bowling skills as he commented on his dismissal of Babar Azam in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) eight.

South African bowling great Steyn, who holds the record for most days spent as the top-ranked bowler in Tests, was impressed by Shaheen’s use of wrist in his bowling style.

Taking to Twitter, Steyn retweeted the footage of Shaheen casting Babar with a brilliant in-swinger and shared how young pacers can learn to bowl quick by taking notes from Shaheen’s bowling.

“Shaheen’s wrist is amazing!” wrote Steyn. The bend & flick he has is so special and [an] area where many young fast bowlers could look to find their extra yard of pace they searching for,” he added.

“Few drills one could try, but if you’re over 25 I’m sorry but it may already be too late. Still worth a try,” Steyn concluded.

 

It is pertinent to mention that Shaheen on Sunday became the first bowler in PSL history to bag two five-wicket hauls following his magnificent bowling display amid his side’s fixture against Babar-led Peshawar Zalmi.

His brilliance powered Qalandars to restrict Zalmi to 201/9 after posting a mammoth 241/9.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...

CDA removes golden hands sculpture in Islamabad after online backlash

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Monday removed a recently installed ‘Golden Hands’ sculpture located along Margalla Avenue in Islamabad. The artwork featured two large golden hands holding two balls like objects resembling a world map.
