Wasim Akram is simply one of the greatest cricketers of all time.

\\n

He was known as the Sultan of Swing and one of the pioneers of reverse swing bowling, which bamboozled batting orders for years.

\\n

Akram took 414 test wickets and more than 500 ODI wickets - and is regarded by many as the greatest left-arm bowler.

\\n

\\n

Now he\'s got his memoir Sultan - which is out now.

\\n

Wasim Akram joined Mike Hosking.
