Zaheer Abbas is an all-time great. An illustrious international career on top of his first-class exploits in Pakistan and England combined for 46,000 professional runs, telling the story in a line. As the only Asian player to score 100 centuries, he was a ton machine as well as a stylist. His new book, A to Zed, tells those tales, and speaking with Daniel Norcross at The Oval, he adds his dismay at the state of Pakistani cricket now.
