Waqar and Wasim are inspiration, says record-breaking Gul

Record-breaking Pakistan seamer Umar Gul dedicated his five-wicket Twenty20 haul to legendary spearheads Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram on Saturday.
Gul became the first bowler to claim five wickets in a T20 international as Pakistan roared back into contention in the world championships with a six-wicket win over New Zealand.
His figues of 5-6 in three overs helped skittle the Black Caps for a paltry 99 in 18.3 overs at the Oval in a crucial Super Eights match as Pakistan, the runners-up in 2007, stayed on course for the semi-finals.
"I have really developed my yorker by watching videos of Waqar and Wasim. They have really helped me," said Gul.
"In Twenty20, you have to be able to bowl the yorker, bouncer and the slower ball. Now I want to be the highest wicket-taker in the tournament.
"My captain just told me to go and get wickets and that's what I did."
New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori, playing his first match of the tournament after suffering a shoulder injury, admitted his team had flopped.
"To score 99 wasn't good enough," said Vettori.
"Pakistan got the ball in all the right areas and attacked. We just didn't get any momentum going and that's important for all aspects of the game.
"It's a lottery trying to defend such a total."
Pakistan skipper Younus Khan was full of praise for Gul.
"His bowling was the turning point for us and it was a good toss to lose," said Younus.

Five-wicket Gul wrecks Kiwis

Umar Gul became the first bowler to claim five wickets in Twenty20 internationals as Pakistan shot New Zealand out for 99 in a must-win game at the world championships on Saturday.
Seamer Gul finished with amazing figures of five wickets for six runs in three overs to build on Abdur Razzaq's memorable return to official cricket after two years.
Scott Styris' 22 was New Zealand's top score on the easy-paced Oval wicket as eight batsmen failed to reach double figures.
Pakistan, who lost their first Super Eights match to Sri Lanka on Friday, need a win to keep their semi-final hopes alive.
New Zealand thrashed Ireland by 83 runs at Trent Bridge on Thursday and will virtually book a place in the last four if they beat Pakistan.
Razzaq, who last played for Pakistan in May 2007, grabbed a wicket off his fourth delivery and another one in his third over to reduce New Zealand to 37-3.
The 29-year-old was called up as a replacement for the injured Yasir Arafat after breaking links with the rebel Indian Cricket League.
Asked to open the bowling by captain Younus Khan, Razzaq had the dangerous Brendon McCullum caught at point before trapping Martin Guptill leg-before.
Gul, brought on as the sixth bowler, struck immediately as Shahid Afridi sprinted back from mid-on to catch Scott Styris (22) near the boundary.
The steady seamer claimed four of the last five wickets to leave Pakistan chasing a modest target of 5.5 runs an over.
Pakistan omitted opener Salman Butt to play 19-year-old rookie Shahzaib Hasan and brought in Razzaq in place of Sohail Tanvir.
New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori made his first appearance in the tournament following a shoulder injury, but batsman Ross Taylor again missed out with a hamstring strain.
