Tahir returned with figures of 5-17 in four overs to set up a comprehensive victory for Guyana Amazon Warriors over St Lucia Kings at the Providence Stadium. The spell was Tahir's career-best in the shortest format, coming in his 461st T20 appearance \u2013 a journey that began two decades ago in Pakistan\u2019s domestic circuit back in 2006.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"For me, my role is obviously to contain (the opposition) in the middle. I'm an attacking bowler. If the wickets come, I don't mind. I think my son is the main guy who has been pushing me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe keeps telling me, 'Daddy, one more year...one more year and then you need to play with me'. So, it's a kind of motivation, I want to give it to him and all the youngsters who are watching me around the world,\" Tahir was quoted as saying by Cricinfo on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on his historic feat, Tahir elaborated on the effort behind his longevity on the circuit. \"I put a lot of hard work into it and it's nice to see how it comes out the way you want it. It's not the personal achievement I look for. We work hard to get the personal achievement but I'm very lucky I delivered today.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Tahir\u2019s masterclass helped the Amazon Warriors rebound instantly from their first defeat of the season against Antigua & Barbuda Falcons. The leg-spinner trapped Kamil Pooran lbw for 43 with a sharp googly before cleaning up all-rounder Matthew Forde with a delivery that zipped through off-stump.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"My lines and lengths were very good. It pitched on line and obviously turned very sharply. In Providence, you get that, but in the previous two games, I wasn't getting that kind of bite, but the credit goes to the length I bowled, I think,\" he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
