Easily One of the best bowlers of all time! I saw him bowl for Surrey when he was 18 and God he was magnificent! The test batsmen of that time had it tough..I would like to see kohl and Smith in that era!
The most underrated player of all time...2nd best strike rate in tests and 3rd best in odi and 3rd highest wicket taker in odi:)
Waqar was only 32 when he retired from cricket...love from india legend
31
Way too young!
He didn't retire. They kicked him out. But in all fairness he was past his due date. His speed was on the decline and he couldn't rely on swing alone.
Still he have 792 wkts 😱😱😱
@@HamzaKhan-xi9yc His speed was 135 to 140 at the time of retirement. He was much speedier than Wasim Akram and he was even much better in swing and mixture also. Look at his strike rate between 2000 to 2003.
waqar was the best fast bowler and almost unplayable at the peak of his career 🔥🔥
Waqar was the best ever , his figures don't do him justice nobody could ball an swinging Yorker like him, shame due to injuries his career suffered.
Alec scored against these two greats viz Wasim and Waqar regularly in Pakistan cricket tours to England in 1992,1996 when both were at their peak. Even Lara didn't score a hundred against Pakistan facing these two.
Lara sure did but yes Alec Stewart was great too
Yeah, but Alec played a ton of county cricket with or against the Ws, so when he played the international cricket against Pakistan, he wasn't clueless.
waqar at his best , was the greatest fast bowler of all time
mo sultan that’s absolutely true!
Here’s a great article for people who come across this comment in the future
So true
Possibly.
I agree he was deadly before his back injuries but there were many who look deadly at their best likes of Marshall The Greatest, Dennis Lillee at Perth, Young Ian Bishop, Michael Holding at his best, Andy Roberts, Mitchell Johnson during Ashes 13 and against High Class South African batting line up in 2014, This list is endless.
Alec Stewart your a good man, always have, and will always be, you come from a good stock (respect)
truly a champion bowler
Greatest bowler of all time in cricket history ever
Waquar one of the best bowler all time
What a thorough gentleman, Alex Stuart
Waqar dismissed jayasuria 22 times who was the most destructive batsman in the 90s that’s how great he was a king of speed and an awesome fast bowler
Fastest bowler ever waqar younis..great legend.
Thompson & lillee
Walsh & Ambrose
McGrath & Warne all were legends of the game no doubt including marshall..roberts..holding..imran BUT what the two 'W's
Have none of them posess...the ability to swing the bowl both ways at high pace in all grounds..pitches and could play in all 3 formats.
There are certainly fast bowlers with more wickets e.g. Pollock..ntini..steyn..Anderson etc.
At the time in there peak there was no 1like them ever....the deadliest fast bowlers ever..period.
Wasim & waqars economy rate and average in both odI's and test matches is out of this world. Especially when legends themselves have picked them in best xii ever by Lara..tendulkar..ponting..Viv Richards have all picked these 2 legends of the gane.
If there was t20 cricket than like now...with limited 4 overs..you tell me who can bowl better at the death than these two magicians...answer no1...
Imran khans inheritors.....Wasim & waqar legends of the game.
I remember watching that phase late in the day in the 1996 Test series. Wasim wasn't at his best for most part of the series but he came running in late in the day and bowled QUCIKLY. There is a famous picture of Stewart avoiding a Wasim bouncer with him bowling around the wicket is from that day/little phase. Wasim got his 300th Test wicket on the final day of the that series.
WAQAR in top 5 greatest fast bowlers with wasim, sir rcherd Hadley, malcom marshal ,denis lilli and crutly ambrose
Apki choice sy ptta chlta k you have a knowledge of cricket
Waqar was one of the quickest in the world during his prime and he could swing both the new and the old ball...
He did it in both formats of the game and that too on all kinda surfaces...
Waqar is highly under rated and was handled very badly by the board..
He is the most lethal bowler that I've ever witnessed...
Micheal Holding, Andy Roberts and Malcolm Marshall just bounced out batsmen when there was no restrictions on bouncers....
Waqar delivered in an era with better batsmen and stringent restrictions on bowlers....
Maybe you haven't watched enough of waqar...
I will add Dale Steyn in that also as modern great!
That would be my top 5 also
@@aksshaayrahatey5352 na bro look at steyn form right now
Waqar was the guy for me. I realized how great Wasim was only after the introduction of TH-cam. I emulated Waqar’s bowling action.
Alex Stewart was an excellent batsmen and keeper. From a Pak fan
i ilove this man!!
Waqar took 113 county championship wickets for surrey in 1991, second best was Martin Bicknel with 37
Waqar was probably the quickest ever..
I think Wes hall Jeffery Thompson may be fastest ever any way Shoaib akthar bowled 161.3 kph and waqar Younis once clocked 157.6 kph
There's Harold Larwood too. He wasn't clocked, but many believe it was around 100mph.
@@lonestar6709 yes and Patrick Peterson duncun Spencer Devon Malcolm Mohamed Zahid Dennis Lillie Charlie Griffith etc
@@mrunknown2.074 shoaib akthar was recorded at 167kph in Durban test 1998
@@anirudhsuresh4481 sir 161.3 max recorded in icc chart
history fastest bawler was (165km/h)Waqar younis.he had almost totally fast deliveries. but that time weren't speed radar.If there was sometimes you had radar.But all time man can't deliver fast.If you always have speed radar.Then few time you can be able to break fastest delivery record.like in shoab and breet lee times.So why shoaib akhtar succeeded
Rashid Hussain Toorie 165 lightyears/hour 😂😂😂
@@milanshaw7880 gando saly bharway kegend ko aisy boly ga kia gando
Idiot When it come to Quickest Nobody Literally Nobody can Match Jeff Thomson there,He was just Too Quick Especially Before His Shoulder Injury In 76.
@@kunalsingh3121 but in 1979 speed guns were installed and all great fast bowlers were invited, Thompson was the fastest, 3. Andy Roberts, 2. Michael Holding and 4. Imran Khan was fourth. No one bowled quicker than 157 kph. They given chance for bowling of series of deliveries and average was counted which was not as impressive as did Donald, Shoaib, Waqar, Muhammad Zahid, Dale, Lee, Shan Tait, Marshall,
@@IsrarKhan-sg3ydWrong information My Freind,Thomson Clocked 160 in both 1975 & 76 competition,Second Was Andy roberts almost 160 about 159.9 as Far as i know,Then Holding about 153,Dennis Lilee 149(Despite being sick),Winston davis(150),What you are telling my freind That Nobody bowled over 157???Lol.
And Imran was nowhere near In both these competion He bowled Around 145 cage in 77.
In 76 thommo again clocked 160,Roberts 157,3rd Was Dennis Lilee at 155 kph.And Plus Dennis has his Back problems Therefore He remodled His bowling Action And Was Surely Yard slower then what he was During 72 season Guys Like Garfield Sobbers,Rohan kanhai,Clive llyod Even call him fastest they ever saw.
Dont know how u guys came on conclussion in 75 Only they bowl 1 or 2 deliveries and Their fastest speed was counted.
Malcolm Marshall was blindly Fast Till most part of his carrer,But i have seen him bowl in india in 83,On conistent basis He is Fastest ever i saw After Thommo and Holding.
Better get ur Facts right Before coming and rating blindly Player of your own time,Thomson,Roberts,Holding,Lilee & marshall were Blindy quick and more than all name u typed,Whats the shit Theu were not as impressive,Biased Man.
Wonderful stories!Thanks for this!
Imran Wasim Waqar 3 Greatest Bowlers of Asia
Murali as the spinner.
Glamorgan legend - County champions '97
*If you watched the full interview, Stewart said something along these lines to answer the ball tempering allegations against Wasim and Waqar - and Stewart's answer shut the whole world, he said, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ~~~~"Let anyone temper with the ball as much as they want, and they still can't bowl like Wasim and Waqar."~~~~*
That stat of '29 wickets being second most in 3 test series since 1912' is not correct. Richard Hadlee took 33 in 3 test series against Australia in 1985-86, and Harbajan Singh took 32 in 3 test series against Australia in 2OO1. Shane Warne also took 29 wickets in three test series against either Pakistan in late 2OO2 or against Sri Lanka in early 2OO4 (reason i'm hazy on this one is I know he took 29 in one and 27 in other]. Also, I find it hard to believe that Dale Steyn took more than 38 tests to 2OO wickets, although I will take correspondence on this. Having said all this, no argument with anyone's sentiments that Waqar Younis was a fabulous fast bowler comparable to most from any era, and anyone who took even half as many wickets or played even half as many tests, you would literally barely need to use more than your thumbs to count those who bettered his strike rate of a wicket every 43 balls. Magnificent.
Bernie8330 - think that stat of 29 wickets would be for a pace bowler, spinners have the luxury of Bowling all day Long from one end.
waqar is best than others you mentioned because pak has the worst fielding side in international cricket
when Richard Hadlee was bowling New Zealand was not exactly the best fielding side either
@@jamyboi99 no agreed,
Waqar MASHA ALLAH ♥️
Fun fact: over 61% of the wickets that he took were either clean bowled or lbws. That is almost 2 out of every three wickets. 32% were clean bowled, 29.49% were lbws.
If you ask pakistan, india, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh they would all say Waqar, at his peak he was the best ever!
Asia XI : 1) Gavaskar 2) Sehwag 3) Dravid 4) Tendulkar 5) Miandad 6) Sangakkara(wk) 7) Shakib 8) Imran(c) 9) Wasim 10) Murali 11) Waqar Can any Team Defeat this Asia XI ?
Yes the West Indies in the late 1970s and 1980s.
Alec Stewart: We shared an Orange juice (Beer) and the battle was on the next day.

Swing master
They do not gain pace off the pitch.
he probably meant the seam movement and turn.
They say give wasim and Waqar An Orange still they will take your wickets..
The essence of cricket is war. Bouncer restrictions and other such ill-conceived "developments" have turned test cricket into a play-date. The appropriate response to inevitable advancements in protective gear and bats would have been legalized throwing. The game will remain in it's self-imposed coma until death if it fails to adapt.
What about westindies Collin Stewart was very quick
