The Most Entertaining Pace Bowler to Watch

[Xuhaib]

Watch 0:53-1.45 this is my favorite Akhtar video where he claims to reach 100mph he would pull trucks for 5 miles when in World strong man championship the mamimum you are required to pull a truck is 100 feet this has to be one of the best bullshitting off alltime?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Lmao

 

[Jayro]

Alan Donald, Ambrose, Wasim Akram for me, also Waqar Younis with his toe/stump crushing banana yorkers

 

[Gob]

India did face Johnson in his prime - but the pitches completely negated any threat. That **** broke him.

Nah.. this is the **** that broke him.

Actually it was Phillip Hughes

Broken ****en arms all of a sudden weren't fun anymore

not sure about that tbh, he bowled plenty short against India in that quoted gif

 

[TheJediBrah]

Now that Gob mentions it I remember that being around in the media at the time too

 

[Burgey]

Curators, like Joe Root, have questions to answer.

Indeed.

He did but without the same venom. Was down in pace too

 

[Kirkut]

Nah.. this is the **** that broke him.

We all know how much you love Rahane

 

[Kirkut]

Nah he is quite a smart guy if you can sidestep the nauseating self praise and badmashi / phainta crap there is some decent tactical/technical input from him when he talks about fast bowling.

Also pretty great self marketer the way he has marketed himself to the low IQ sub cont cricketing masses through social media leaves me quite impressed its really an art to know your target market and do the sales pitch right to the cue Shoaib knows this art.

Haha, don't buy the youtube comments. Shoaib Akhtar is seen as the king of hyperboles. Non urdu/hindi speakers are missing out on comedy gold.

 

[Kirkut]

Wish I get to watch some more footage of Fred Trueman. Boycott in an interview stated that he used to bowl an outswinging yorker.

That's interesting, never watched a fast bowler bowling outswinging yorkers though I've watched plenty bowling full pitched outswingers.

Check out some footage of Wasim Akram bowling swinging Yorkers in both directions.

I actually do/did. He just lost it trying to be a LO batsman when he was not.

 

[Xuhaib]

It's disappointing how both Rahane and Asad Shafiq fell off both were solid mid 40' batsman who looked like will get close to 50 as they entered their peak years but they fell off the cliff to end up with a middling near 40 average. Chandimal also seemed on the same path but thankfully looks to be making a recovery.

 

[CricAddict]

Shoaib Akhtar is a clear winner here. Actually that bowing lineup of Akram Waqar Akhtar and Saqlain was droolworthy.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Dudes saying Asif, McGrath, Philander etc are virtue signalling smh

Just admit you like alpha Shoaib

Philander when he was in full swing was a joy to watch. Agree about Mcgrath, he was a ****ing bore.
