Waqared

It is referred to as an expression or delivery in cricket which was perfected by the king of swing and formidable express fast bowler Waqar Younis from Pakistan. The term is used when you get a lethal delivery that is a inswinging yorker at high pace usually aimed at leg stump, result of which is a dismissal of bowled or leg before or sometimes if you were really unlucky a toe crusher. This could be done at will and frequency hence the generic term “getting Waqared” spread and became infamous through the county and International circuit. He was also one of the pioneers and probably the best exponent of reverse swing.
