The Collapso Kings: How Justin Greaves exposed Pakistan with five successive wicket maidens

If batting collapses were an art form, then Pakistan might be its Beyonce. A genius artist with a never-ending stream of hits, able to showcase their talents in any genre.

It takes a sublime artist to collapse under bright sunny skies, from a position of dominance, against a part-timer.

Ahmer Naqvi analyses the anatomy of a collapse, inspired by Justin Greaves' incredible five consecutive wicket maidens in the first Test between West Indies and Pakistan.
