(,
1981 in Karachi) is a Pakistani
Cricketer who specialises in
Fast Bowling . He made his international debut against
New Zealand in 2001 taking 8 wickets for 106 runs in his debut Test match. He was also successful in Test cricket in
Zimbabwe and in his second tour of
New Zealand in 2003. He played his 50th
One-Day International against
India at
Lahore on March 24, 2004. He has taken over 100 wickets in first class cricket and in List A cricket.
On
1 December 2003 , he took his ODI career best figures of 5 wickets for 10 runs. It was the first time he took 5 wickets in an ODI. Earlier in April in
Sharjah , UAE, he had taken 4/25 against
Kenya .
Sami is one of the world's quickest bowlers, capable of delivering the ball in excess of 150 km/h. He has been recorded at speeds of 157 km/h, making him after
Brett Lee and
Shaun Tait of Australia and team mate
Shoaib Akhtar the world's quickest bowler. Despite speed and boyish good looks and being able to swing the ball successfully, Sami has disappointed. He has not displayed the control of line and length, and the consistency needed to be successful at the highest level.
After many chances Pakistan replaced Sami (who was once the spearhead of Pakistan attack) for the One Day series against England with
Mohammad Asif , however he was recalled for the series against South Africa in January/February 2007.
Sami was originally omitted from the 15-man Pakistan squad for the were called up as replacements.
