Kept my phone down and was speechless for a while when Amla said Asif. He was a bloody magician, such a shame how his career ended. We will never know what heights of success he could have reached, but within a few years of his time, he proved what a brilliant bowler he was.
Agree
True!
Bro our neighbors jealous our talent so they trap in big amounts that why people distract !... 100% India conspiracy about Asif ruin his career
i totally agree with you, sir.
@@doncarlos4931 Yes India is very bad. They even stop you from going to the loo.
Asif was a magician, if he played for longer time he would've been not just Pakistan great but one of world best bowler.
Undoubtedly!!!
He would have been a wizard.
The man was magical
Awful waste of talent
Who? one hit wonder? id have to look him up .....lol
@@timorum
You don't have to mate! Ü
But the art he possessed was itself is a magic.
Asif and Amir could have been that dream pair that Pakistan needed after Wasim and Waqar but sadly they destroyed their own careers.
💯% Agree
Wasim and Waqar were smarter or luckier! They were never caught! That's the only difference! Even in that case, the players are mere pawns! They are being controlled by the betting industry! So end of the day, for a spectator, the thrill that we get is fully scripted! So just appreciate Asif for the fine talent or wizard he was, and for the fixer tag, apart from getting caught no big difference with others! It's just that he was not smart enough to do it without getting caught/ or to fix according to existing system or just unlucky😕😕
@@lordgovindgreatheart ok. It was nice talking to you. So now just f*ckoff
No, Amir was overhyped but Asif deserves all praise due to his great ability to swing the ball at will.
@@truthseeker3094 True , Aamir was like Irfan Pathan , extraordinary start to the career but not that great in the somewhat longer run they had ...
Mr. Amla, You are the epitome of class and being a gentleman. You make your parents proud
Whether its Amla,De Villiers, Pietersen three of the best batsmen of the modern era have put Muhammad Asif right on top of the most challenging and difficult bowler they have faced, whenever i hear and see things like this it pains my heart even more, what a great loss for world cricket, could have been one of the greatest
That's interesting that even De Villiers and Pietersen said Asif was among the most challenging players they have faced.. it's unfortunate he couldn't maximise his potential.. by the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might change someone's life!
No doubt he was a grt talent but didn't utilised it to the fullest...
Don't forget Sangakara as well
@@shezadm6300 I have also heard about Md Asif a lot. Then what happened to him.
@@sourabhsinghrajput6109 match fixing happened.he ruined his career
Gavaskar is an amazing story teller. love to hear him tell us about the old times.
He can be a good story teller. But in reality a horrible human being.
He is telling BCCI should allow spectators to watch Kohli's 100 test.How can he talk such shameless and senseless way?? Even his batting opening partner lost his life for COVID. Yet he thinks people's life is less important than Virat Kohli's batting.
@@tausifchoudhury8837 easy man enough hatred
Gavaskar is a cunning fox...he has multiple faces
@@tausifchoudhury8837 u are hiding truth he said if it is possible allow crowd
He is like a grandpa, proudly telling old stories, gr8 guy !
I’m so lucky to watch Asif bowling live in Karachi test vs India 2006 what a great spell was that getting bowled out to great batsman like VVX Laxman Sachin Sir and Wall of India Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag it was just insane deliveries ✌️
I was there too
Sachin sir .. wow . Salute bro
@@waqaransari7324 aur kya bole phir Teri trh be akla thodi ha o
Great
Ya i was also in the stadium the stadium 🏟️ was full of crowd .In the first inning in 1st over irfan pathan got hatrick and Pakistan team was in such a big trouble but kamran akmal played very well and made a century .
The cream of the crop has nominated Asif as being the most difficult adversary on the field.
Shame we would never know the full potential of his career.
How could you forget the suicide with his unmatured and undeveloped mind he committed with his career which is very shameful and tragic?
@@iq2823 read again ... my last sentence literally covers that episode.
@David Voicecoil dont be an arse. ABD and KP have said the same about Asif.
@David Voicecoil Man, you're just copying and pasting the same Islamophobic crap, aren't you? What a child.
@David Voicecoil KP, ABD, Sangakara, Laxman, Clarke, Hussey, etc have all picked Asif ... none are Muslim, you clown.
Mohd Asif may be biggest player to be missed on cricket in our generation. What a great control. Specially with red ball. i remember that karachi test. even that sydney test where he took i think 6 wickets and Aussies were bowled out around 130.
Such a waste of talent. Ruined his own career. Things he could've achieved....
A big fan of mighty Hashim Amla. A great batsman and a humble human being. Carried the South African batting in his shoulders for a decade.
😊😅😮
Amla was indeed a fantastic batter but to say he carried the SA batting on his shoulders for a decade is tad exaggerated given that both Kallis and de Villiers played a lot of cricket in the same SA team as Amla. All 3 are among the all time highest test run scorers and genuine legends of the game.
Gavaskar as a true legend and badass, he played in the 70s and 80s when fast bowlers went wild. He faced the Likes of Lillee, Thomson, Marshall, Holding, Roberts, Garner, Hadlee, Botham, Willis, Imran, Wasim etc and scored most runs and centuries in the world (at that time) in all kinds of conditions. Sometimes i feel like we indians have totally forgotten about how great gavaskar truly is.
No body can forget Gavaskar. Only sun one and only Gavaskar the way he handled Marshall at ferossha kotla still in my memory it was T20 innings.
I remember in around 85-88 it was Viv, Gavaskar & AB as the top three. Wicked cricketers👍🇦🇺
Twice the batsman then Kohli in my opinion
Bro Nobody can forget Sunil sir! Hi was a little Champion!
Gavakar was a household name of every cricket loving person around the particularly in india, westindies and pakistan. There were even famous westindian calypsos on Gavasker particularly one by his westindian fan Lord Relator which reads as follows." No one can take Gavakar's wicket"
I'm.glad Andy Robert's got a mention. Lots of people focus in Holding, Garner and Marshall, but Roberts was great too
I remember Roberts had great speed ,but I think he lacked a bit in control compared to Holding ,Marshall and the big bird.
Sunny has always rated him as the toughest to face in numerous interviews. Not the first time.
Colin Croft - super underrated and a speed demon also with that action
Saw Andy Roberts bowl at Bangalore in 1974. Terrifying sitting in the stands. Imagine the plight of Gavaskar! Then saw Patrick Patterson at Nagpur. Boy, was he quick!
@@manju52ngp you are lucky man...who saw some greats of the game by naked eyes.
Mohammad Asif was such an incredible talent.
Hasim Amla is also right as Mohd. Asif from Pakistan is always right and useful and penetratrative as always with the length and the pace he bowls. He was an awesome and fantastic bowler to watch out for off.
@David Voicecoil absolutely right
@David Voicecoil Mitchell Johnson and sreeshant can tie lases of Asif they average over 30 in Tests stop dragging religion here you Muppets!
Asif was an unbelievable bowler, was gifted a talent you just couldn't teach, absolutely remarkable. Ended sour but he was well on his way to be one of the greatest. Massive shame
Sir I was wondering that there will be a lot of praise for this pakistani magician and there you are admiring his talent I truly believe he was beyond that generation of fast bowlers that were playing in that era and what if spot fixing scandal did not happen what will be his legacy is still in unimaginable
Agreed! You put it truly in your words... He was unbelievable and so treat to watch
Was he more skillful than steyn . I saw him bowling when i was a child. Looks skillful but as much as steyn
@@RkSaha-gh5jv Steyn might have had the aggression and the pace but Asif had the skills and he had it in abundance I tell you.
@@abdullahahsan864 steyn is in a different league mate...asif was brilliant but his phase lasted for a very short time..even mohd amir i remember seemed unplayable at one time ...both of this career ended in such a shame
I love the South African test coverage/ commentary team best out of all test nations. Great stuff
When the greatest batsmen Hasim Amla Also recognise Md Asif as a magician with ball.Really what a loss not only for himself but also we miss his magic to see.😭
Sunny G is one of the most extraordinary cricketing minds across the world. His stories and insights are so valuable.
@UCwkObuw30C-vQ52gWYST8Ew I don't think so. His knowledge of the game is unparalleled. Even legends like Shaun Pollock and Amla have to sit back and listen to him. And there's no doubt that he has always had a soft corner for the Indian team and most commentators have that thing. No one can be entirely neutral.
He dominated the game in his days. A pure and fearless batsman, a record breaker.
@@nishantintouch easily the best batsman of his age. Only Viv Richards could match his class
@@ChallHattGavaskar only ever passed 50 once against Australia in Test's, when Dennis Lillee played. The legendary great fast bowler, dismissed him 6x's in 9x Test's & 1972 Rest of The World XI Test's, including a 1st & 5th ball duck. Gavaskar's top score against Australia was 70 & Lillee dismissed him. SG never mentions Lillee I'm the best he faced. DK said SG was medium quality. Greg Chappell scored more Test runs in his era than any other batsman. Speaks volumes. Between 1976 to 1983, Viv Richard's Test Batting Average was a phenomenal 66.17. He had eye surgery for Pterygium, a nasty eye disease, in 1984, which affected his eyesight & reflexes. Lillee, the greatest fast bowler of All-time. Viv, the best Test batsman since Bradman & ODI's greatest ever batsman. Gavaskar, an All-time great Opener.
@@graemealexander8804 still the first man to score 10,000 test runs and remember he was an opener unlike Chappell and Richards. Gavaskar didn't have the resources that the Aussies or West Indies had. India didn't even have a fast bowler in their domestic circuits and every other nation had fierce fast bowlers. Gavaskar had to invent new ways to practice and counter the amazingly cruel fast bowlers of the 70s and 80s. And remember the best team in the world in his time were the West Indies and he has 13 centuries against them. So you can keep up with your selective reporting because for me he's still the best test opener of all time.
I don't know how Asif used to do it unlike other bowlers but with same wrist position he can move the ball both ways. And what makes him more dangerous is if there is no swing in the air he will get you with the seam movement.
He was just born with that bowling skills because you can't learn from a coach what Asif you use to do with the ball. I had seen him bowling in 2010 in England, it was just magic.
it's called the wobble seam
I still recall how Michael Holding explained these points, as well as his wrist position and striking the seam when the ball was wobbling. Holding claimed that only Muhammad Asif knew where the ball would swing, ignoring the batsman and the fact that the camera couldn't capture his bowling.
About Asif its coming from the best batsmen. Asif wasn’t playing cricket he WAS PLAYING WITH THE CRICKETERS !!
@David Voicecoil they are no way close to him jealous
Never saw Andy Roberts . But Asif was a True Magician. Malcolm Marshall was an extraordinary
Bowler too .
Shoaib Akhtar said about Asif that his bowling was an art on display. Sadly he wasn't able to prolong his art to become a legend.
As a cricket fan I always admired Mohd Asif's bowling. He was a magician, the way he used to swing the ball was awesome. Unfortunately he himself destroyed his career.
Which country are you from
Muhammad Asif. He was magician with the ball indeed. Best of the best have praised him. What a loss to Pakistan Cricket. My heart cries every time his name comes up😭😭😭
These are the 2 cricket greats, and gentlemen of the sport. Humble, respectful, forgiving, always calm on the field, and never a bad word from their mouths. Testament that we are all brothers in the game, we don't hate each other but compete fiercely, and represent our countries with grace and dignity!!!
@David Voicecoil go check stats and bark
And Sunil Gavaskar was playing them without a helmets
That's balls of steel
Most of the players around that time played without helmets😂🤣
@@90cents49 kuch vi 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@XCALIBUR_XD Our people always take exaggeration to the next level 😉
he used to have under his hat
@@90cents49 but only few if them .. have 10000 test runs under their belt as a opener... So shut up
Muhammad Asif, Muhammad amir, Shane bond, Patrick patterson, Sylvester clarke etc are some of the examples of people who could have been remembered as fast bowling legends but due to different reasons all of these guys perished away
It was disappointing that India didn't play 3-4 test matches in a series against SA during 2010-2013. Remember Hashim getting 3 hundreds in 4 innings against Ind in India in 2 match test series
Please take Michael Clarke also
No India played 3 test match series in south Africa in 2010
Glad we didn't... otherwise he would have ended with 10
Well SA won in 2008 and 2010 in India that was enough sample size of South Africa's golden era
@@AkshatSharma-uz7im they didn't win the test series, but they defeated india twice by an innings which was an unmatched feat, defeating in India in India was very hard feat, but they didn't only do that they won it by an innings which is out of this world, that was such a strong south african team
Nobody doubts on the ability of Mohammed Asif to move the ball he wished... He was god gifted talent but at the same time his brain was underdeveloped because the suicides he committed with his career which is very shameful and sad
Hashim Amla one of the most humble person
@David Voicecoil why tf are u commenting the same thing everywhere
@@adityasmenon9He feels proud of how humble Amla is. 😅
The edge Gavaskar sir will always have is the names of the bowlers he had faced. Jesus Christ. That will always be THE BEST bowling cartels in world forever
Very difficult to replicate a foursome of Roberts, Garner ,Marshall and Holding. And batsmen had to face them without helmets
“No doubt Md Asif was one of the world’s skilled bowler but sadly he thrown away, such a shame!”
I think he was Charsi 😂😂. Brought shame to his country
@@robbykiller2323 not matters when he destroys your favourite country 😆
Outstanding remarks to hear from both the legends of their times
Asif was just on another level
He was the best bowler the world never had.
Excellent experience by two most prolific batsmen of their respective eras Sunil Gavaskar & Hashim Amla citing Jeff Thomson & Andy Roberts alongside Mitchell Johnson & Muhammad Asif as best bowlers👌🏻 and how well conducted by Mark Nicholas 👍
amla said it before also that asif was the best bowler he faced so did kevin pieterson and inside a lot of batsmen feel the same 👍
We miss you Hash
🇿🇦❤️
*love you all*
Player or the brownies???
Whole cricket 🏏 😑 miss him
Gavaskar has some special skills of telling stories
Guys he has 34 centuries at that time when cricket and bowlers were on another level. Huge respect to little man.
Magic is the word for asif. Always looked like he had that little extra. Same feeling i got from watching lara bat. Like their skills could sometimes go a level no one else had gone.
why there are no such shows in india...panel consist of absolute geniuses .all we have is glamor glamor and more glamor
We had Morne Morkel , he was a decent bowler .
Enjoy with ajit agarkar sanjay bangar etc
@@imviiku TV programs of sky sports...channel 7 from aus ..fox sports are far superior in content than our star sports...
We deprately need this kind of show....espn 20-25 years ago used to provide such
@@thestark6417 also helps in enhancing knowledge..it's a shame that TV presenter like harsha is not considered to host cricket shows in india.
Great story by Sunny Bhai about Mr. Jeff Thomson and Lt Chetan Chauhan Ji!
people who faced asif will nominate him so was his talent . two joints before the spell and ball used to dance
Asif record in his short career speaks volumes.
He was the best bowler the world has seen, they way he made Sachin to Neel down at Bangalore in India was unbelievable and broke India batting(laxman, Dravid and gangully).
What a bowler mohammed asif was! One of the best I have seen
Indians will never say the truth we all know how amazing waqar imran and wasim bhai was
Imran and Wasim didn't play too much in gavaskar era you dump pakistani! Even amla is bohra gujrati Indian origin, he has mentioned Asif what do you need..
Always fascinating to hear cricket stories from Mr. Gavaskar. What a gentleman he is. 😊
Great video, beautiful people! 💖😍 God bless u and your family…. 🌹🌹Keep rising and shining...Sending lots of love💕from Sydney, Australia.
Wow what an interesting story about the fierce bowler from Sunil Gavaskar😁
Sunny sir always has a story 😂
Sunil Gavaskar opening out the real incidents happened on the field great to hear and joyful
Its always good to hear from Great Gavaskar.
Hashim added India to the list almost as an afterthought when naming countries who backed test cricket!!
He din't add new-zealand lol.
@@Junter350 he might have forgotten
U have a problem with it???
@@raajverma1217 I do Mr. Verma. I am a traditionalist and love test cricket! India does support test cricket especially Kohli.
Thanks Hashim Amla for again acknowledging Muhammad Asif, The real trouble for Batsmen of his era ❤️💕🤗
I love Hashim Amla....Such a gentleman
Gavaskar is a great anecdotist. Facing Thommo and Andy Roberts at their fastest without a helmet took quite a lot of bravery.
ExEssex
It's less "bravery" and more a case of no choice given helmets were not available back in the day. Therefore every batsman was 'brave.'
@@user-wl5tv4jl7v
Calm down with the fanboy hysteria. Once more, *ALL* batsman faced express pace back in the day without helmets and many batsman made runs, not just Gavaskar. Besides, unlike Viv Richards, Gavaskar did indeed wear a makeshift prototype helmet!!

no he wasn't
But sala chor nikla.
@@sherkhan3397 how?
@@robbykiller2323 how do you know that
Pure clsss these guys.......privilege listening to them.....
Great Asif! Got stitched up well
Cricket pitch will never forgot Sunil Gavaskar 🙏
Mohammad Asif what a raw talent he was.. beautiful seam position
One reason behind Sunil sir legacy is thst he know how to give respect to his colleagues,
No matter from where opponent belongs to,,Talent is always appreciated by him.
Woow.. Asif was such a class that even best of the game couldn’t read him at times. Asif is best example of self destruction. Discipline is the key when you are at highs or lows.
It's been almost 12 years since Asif got caught along with Butt and Amir but nobody even talks about amir and butt but even over a decade all the modern day greats like Sanga Amla KP and De Villiers they still remember Asif and talk about him and call him the toughest bowler they faced
Jimmy Anderson also said that he learned the art of moving ball both ways by watching Asif bowl. That is another solid recognition from one of the best bowler of this generation and the highest wicket taker as a fast bowler
@@muzammilmohsin7259 The art of wobble seam
Back in the day, there would be fire extinguishers because balls where so fast after contacting pitch there would be fire..
Short leg was fine leg..
Hashim Amla a wonderful person & great human being
Two great player of all time history and both so humble Sunil sir and Hashim Amla sir
The magician is praised by the legend 💖❤️
Fun fact=HASHIM AMLA looks like a senior scientist or doctor😁😁
I live in the same city as Amla. My son was coached by him. Really nice guy and one of the best batsmen of all time.
Asif was a magician really treat to watch in Test and Odi wowowo what a bowler he was 🥺🥺
Md. Asif ….. wish we hd seen you longer ,bowling out there. Love from 🇮🇳
Sunil Gavaskar and hasim amla 2 legends wow 😘
Wow one of the greats like Amla is saying Asif was a magician. Wow wow wow just great to hear about these remarks.
Two guys who had fire in their belly during their career, but tell of their experiences in a mellow philosophical way
Great conversation ❤️
Wow, Amla's and Pollock's cadence is so similar, can't tell the difference in some words
Cadence Kya hota hai
Remember when Thompson and Lillie at there fastest there was no helmets, Crickey
Then Roberts, Holding, Croft, Garner, Imran came along, Bob Willis, Marshall. Mid 70’s and 80’s wasn’t a time for the faint hearted!
Is the clip available anywhere? The way Sunny was narrating the story has shot up the desire to watch it by multiple folds.
I think that was the best way for his career to end. He could have lost it later and had to be removed like Amir or he could have ended up as the greatest ever.
This "what if" is what makes one think about the magic he could have done.
Asif, thank you for those short but amazing memories.
I think Sunil Gavaskar is talking about the fourth test in 1977-78. India won that match by an innings and 2 runs.
Amla is such a legend!
Really interesting stuff .. 👏
Come to think of it, he was raised on placid Pakistani wickets. When Amla speaks about how skilful he was, nothing like it. Master of seem and swing, Asif was really a superb bowler.
Mark Nicholas is perhaps the best host for cricket. So sensible in asking questions
During Sunil's story i made 2 boiled eggs and one cup of tea.
Nice conversation ..
Gavaskar one of rhe finest man of cricket. We love you sir jee
Asif's loss is not only a loss of Pakistan Cricket... its a loss of Cricket in general. One who understands cricket may well know what a great great loss for the game he really was. If I could turn the time back the only thing cricket wise I would do is to knock some sense into not only him but also to the PCB... they were equally responsible for this debacle.
He is responsible for his destruction.
No one can't pass or match Mark Nicolas's amazing vocals & his skill.
He was an apprentice to Richie Benaud.
Test cricket has never been better than now. Teams playing to win. Quality of the players is amazing.
Lots of respect to Sunny ji. He knows very well how to deliver the story.
Being a Pakistani raised in the Wasim and Waqar era, Asif was the only bowler that provided a glimpse of revival of the Pak bowling attack. Still can't get over it
Dale steyn is the best i have ever seen steaming into the batter. Deadly deadly
Hashim Amla is the technical mastero of modern era of cricket ranking Mohammed Asif as the toughest bowler.. Then it is some serious business... Asif always plays and bamboozed most technically sound batsmen of the opposition... Pure talent and an absolute genius with the ball❤️
No one more diplomatic than Gavaskar. Seasonal bloke.😇
I KNEW IT HASHIM AMLA IS GOING TO SAY IT ...
EVEN NOW ...❤️
@David Voicecoil Sreesanth😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😭 Bro, are u taking weed these days
@David Voicecoil common uh Indian guy
I know that you can't digest this.....
ASIF LL RULE THE CRICKETING WORLD EVEN IF HE IS NOT PLAYING...
The pressure built by Gavaskar is leading to the continued selection of Ajinkya in the Indian team and as a result India is losing east matches also.
Small career and huge impact.......just asif things
Respect for legend
Love you Amla sir from India
