Our special guest this week is Osman Samiuddin, a senior editor at ESPNcricinfo and author of The Unquiet Ones: A History of Pakistan Cricket.
One of the finest contemporary cricket writers, Osman has had a ring-side view of the triumphs and disappointments of Pakistan cricket over the last two decades. His match reports, profiles, and long-form features contain both a depth of research and originality of style – as well as a sense of timelessness that make them both a work of journalism as well as a draft of history.
Talking Points:
- Falling in love with Pakistan cricket in the 1990s
- The tumultuous years in Pakistan cricket: 2006 to 2010
- Fazal Mahmood's crazy confidence
- Imran Khan's influence on fast bowling - the seminal spell in Sydney in 1977
- Javed Miandad and the quest for Izzat
- Wasim Akram - the hero and a cricket writer's ideal
Participants: Osman Samiuddin (@osmansamiuddin); Siddhartha Vaidyanathan (@sidvee)
