Mohammad Sami (Urdu: محمد سمیع, born 24 February 1981) is a Pakistani cricketer who plays as fast bowler and is considered to be one of the fastest bowlers in Pakistan after Shoaib Akhtar. He is the only bowler in cricket to notch hat-tricks in all three formats of the game. Sami is known for his quick yorkers and traditional swing good pace.
Sami, initially named as the modern Malcolm Marshall by Imran Khan, made his Test cricket debut against New Zealand in 2001 by taking 8 wickets for 106 runs in the match, including five wickets in the second innings. This was a world record for the most wickets by a debutant. During his third Test match he achieved a hat-trick against Sri Lanka and in 2002 he took his second hat-trick in his career, against the West Indies during a One Day International match. This led to him becoming one of only a two bowlers in cricket (the other was Wasim Akram) to achieve this mark in both forms of the game. He also displayed excellent performances against Zimbabwe and New Zealand in 2003. On 1 December 2003, he achieved his best bowling figures in One Day International cricket by taking 5 wickets for 10 runs during a match. Earlier in April during that year in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, he had taken 4 wickets for 25 runs against Kenya during the match. Sami played his 50th One Day International match against India at Lahore in Pakistan on 24 March 2004. He has also taken over 100 wickets in First-class cricket and in List A cricket.
