Pin It

Full name: Lydia Sophie Greenway
Born: Aug 6 1985, Bromley
County: Kent women
Other Teams: England women, Diamonds
Test Debut: Australia women v England women, Brisbane, Feb 15-17 2003
ODI Debut: England women v South Africa women, Chelmsford, Aug 13 2003
T20 Debut: England women v New Zealand women, Hove, Aug 5 2004

One of the finest fielders in the women’s game, Greenway has become an integral part of England’s middle-order batting.

She made her senior debut in February 2003 against Australia in the Ashes series at the Gabba, having scored 88 versus Australia A.

In the first Test with South Africa in the summer of 2003 she made 70 and broke the world record for a fourth-wicket stand with Claire Taylor as they amassed 203 runs. She followed it up with 66 in the next Test and also made her one-day debut against the same opponents.

Greenway was at the crease as England won the 2005 Ashes for the first time in 42 years with a six-wicket victory in the second Test at Worcester.

She helped England retain the Ashes in early 2008 and go unbeaten that summer. She was also heavily involved as England won the World Cup and World Twenty20 in 2009 before retaining the Ashes once again with a draw in the one-off Test at Worcester.

Greenway could not prevent Australia regaining the Ashes in 2010-11, although she shone in the prior Twenty20 series and was subsequently voted England’s player of the year.

She continued her impressive 2011 by scoring a maiden international century the following October, in an ODI against South Africa at Potchefstroom.

Life of Shoaib Akhtar
Full Name : Shoaib Akhtar
Date of Birth : August 13, 1975
Place of Birth : Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan
Star Sign : Leo
Shoaib Akhtar was born on August 13, 1975 to Mohammed and Hammeda. He has 3 brothers Shahid, Jahid and Abaid and a sister named Shamaila. Life of Shoaib Akhtar before he entered cricket was a crude one. Shoaib Akhtar was a typical street fighter. He would easily get into a fight with anyone. He has a nine-inch scar across his chest and a lot more wounds down his legs. Akhtar did have any big childhood dreams for cricket. He started playing cricket only at the age of 20 and that too with the tennis ball. He used to play bet matches.
One day just by chance Isthaq Shah, the President of Rawalpindi Real Cricket association was watching the game. He was impressed with Shoaib's bowling and offered him to play in a Test match against New-Zealand. Shoaib refused initially as he had never played International Cricket nor had he ever played with the real cricket ball but Mr. Isthaq forced him and the rest is history. Shoaib really adores all his fans and as per his mother's wish he keeps a low profile and never acts like a star. He is quiet gentle and is never rude to anyone. He has a huge belief in God.

Full Name    :    Sahibzaha Mohammad Shahid Khan Afridi
Born    :    01 Mar 1980
Place of Birth    :    Kohat
Country    :    Pakistan
Batting    :    Right Handed Batsman
Bowling   :   Leg Break Googly
Test Debut   :   Vs Australia at Karachi, 3rd Test, 1998/99
ODI Debut   :   Vs Kenya at Nairobi, KCA Centenary Tournament, 1996/97

Bio:Sahibzada Mohammad Shahid Khan Afridi (born 1 March 1980 in Khyber Agency), popularly known as Shahid Afridi is a Pakistani cricketer currently playing for the Pakistani national team. He made his ODI debut on 2 October 1996 against Kenya in Nairobi and his Test debut on 22 October 1998 against Australia at Karachi. He is known for his aggressive batting style, and currently holds the highest career strike rate in the history of international cricket. In a recent survey, Afridi was named as the most popular cricketer in Pakistan. His general style of batting is very aggressive and attack oriented and has earned him the nickname \"Boom Boom Afridi\" for his fastest One Day International century just in 37 balls. As of 22 May 2007, he has an ODI strike rate of 109.38 runs per 100 balls, the highest in the game's history. This attitude has been transferred to Test cricket as well, with Afridi scoring at a relatively high strike rate of 86.13 in Tests. He has an approach to batting that can change the tempo of a game and inspire the mood of an audience, as shown when a mass exodus of spectators occurred in Pakistan in late 2005 following his dismissal from the crease. He hits many sixes long and high, favoring straight down the ground or over midwicket. A trademark shot is a crossbatted flick to the leg-side to a ball outside off stump. This explosive style has led to some memorable shots, most notably the first ever 12 in power cricket in 2002, where Afridi successfully hit the roof. However, his aggressive style increases his risk of getting out and he is one of the most inconsistent batsmen in cricket. This is reflected by the fact that he is the only player to score more than 5000 ODI runs at an average under 25. Bowling-wise, his stock ball is the leg break, but his armory also includes the conventional off break and a 'quicker one' which he can deliver at nearly 80 mph in the style of a medium-pacer. He bowls at a high speed for a spinner, resulting in lesser turn, and relying more on variations in speed. He occasionally sends down a bouncer to a batsmen, which is very rare for a spin bowler.
