Slow Champion No. 10: Mudassar Nazar

With only two weeks to go, we are counting down to the Slow Cycle with a list of the top 10 Slow Champions. A Slow Champion is a suitably sluggish sedentary superstar, an ambassador for slow sports the world over.

Mudassar Nazar - Slowest Test Century

Mudassar Nazar, a member of the Pakistan Cricket team, took 557 minutes to reach his maiden test century  against England in Lahore on 14 December 1997. He was caught and bowled by Geoff Miller on 114 runs. He'd faced  449 balls and hit 12 fours over 591 minutes of proper Test batting: that's over 9 hours! Even Geoffrey Boycott was heard to say "hurry up".*

Let's get this man a bike and bring him over for the Slow Cycle, he definitely deserves a Slow Champion medal.
