About Nazir Ali
- Syed Nazir Ali pronunciation (8 June 1906, Jullundur, Punjab – 18 February 1975, Lahore) was a prominent player from the early days of Indian cricket. Nazir Ali was an attacking right-handed batsman, a fast-medium bowler and a good fielder.
- He was younger brother of Wazir Ali. When MCC toured India in 1926/27, he impressed the MCC captain Arthur Gilligan who suggested that Nazir should qualify for Sussex.
- Some months later Nazir Ali wakened up the secretary of Sussex at 1 am asking for hospitality or to be sent where he could find it.[2]Nazir was lucky to have a patron in the Maharaja of Patiala who sent him to England to study electrical engineering.
- There he represented Sussex once and played in other matches, resuming his career in India four years later. He played in India's first Test match in 1932 scoring 13 and 6 and picked up an injury while fielding during England's second innings.
- He scored 1020 runs and took 23 wickets in the tour.
- Nazir's most memorable feat was perhaps the 52, with five fours and three sixes, that he scored against Yorkshire out of India's 66 all out.
- No other batsmen scored more than three in that inning.
- This is still the lowest first class total to include an individual fifty.Nazir played one other Test, against England at Madras in 1933/34.
- After 1947, he settled in Pakistan and was an administrator.
