| | Cricinfo - Wasim Raja - A breathtaking strokeplayer |
 | | And when Wasim Raja represented Pakistan in the 1970s and 1980s, he always gave you the feeling that cricket was there for his pleasure, not he for its, with all the thrills he could pack into it. |
 | | But Raja set his mark in the Caribbean at the zenith of Roberts, Garner, Croft, unprotected by headgear, and apparently unencumbered by care: a brand from the burning, if ever there was. |
 | | Raja was all eye and wrist, hands at the top of the handle, feet tending to follow his strokes rather than lead them, with a bravura backlift that no coach would condone now and selectors distrusted then, excluding him from 28 Tests amid the 57 he played. |
