Once again you're being obtuse or dumb, probably the latter. Waqar seemed more reliant on bowling unplayable balls than Wasim.
I watched their entire careers. Aside from the super inswinging yorker, Waqar's repertoire of unplayable balls was limited.
Yorkshire have a young leggie called Jafer Chohan.
Makes the ball, makes the ball
I thought "what's this guy's problem?"
Wasim was the guy who bowled two jaffas back to back, swinging in opposite directions, in a WC final no less.
Javagal Srinath has a history. All his jaffas were touch short, and went pass edges. Bowled some ridiculous deliveries not to take wickets. From Sri Lankans it has to be Dilhara Fernando. Amidst of a ton of crap and no balls, bowled some absolute peaches too. Cleaned up Ganuly with a bouncer in 2000, did same to Greame Smith in SAF, Inducker to Tendulkar in 2007 WC are ones I can remember. In Australia in an ODI series (that contained that Melbourne miracle), gave some serious workout for Watson, think it was in Brisbane. It is a shame he could not cut the load of crap he was bowling. Otherwise with ability to produce ones with batsman's name on it out of no where, would have been a serious asset.
I think Warne produced more of those Jaffas than Murali. Although it is said Warne was a better at setting up batsmen, I don't agree with it. Murali was as good if not better, looking at how many of his wickets were due to false shots (or sh it shots according to Murali). MacGill was a wild thing and he is a good option for the spinners category. But I think crown goes to Underwood and Chandrashekar. They produced that nasty delivery no one could handle very regularly, may be aided by pitch conditions.
It probably counts. That is why I put Srinath in the category too.
I was thinking the opposite. Warne is better at setting up batsmen but Murali can bowl more jaffas, especially since he has the doosra and can turn it on almost any pitch.
if we're talking jaffas though there's something to be said for the theatre of warne like
Ian Bell could have done this
Does Asif get cricket's Paul Gascoigne award for the person with the biggest gap between their sporting intelligence and general intelligence?
Good question. Quite possibly.
No but
