95 miles an hour, sheer speed through the air, reverse swing, yorkers at will, new ball damage. Waqar did well to gain the respect
No lie Waqar younis for me could have been the very best ever the GOAT. He made the ball swinging look magical. He was the fastest bowler through the air!!! I have never seen any bowler even today with advancements in tech able to swing the bowl almost at will as Waqar younis did. This guy is the real king of swing!.
he was better then wasim for sure he is underrated
Cricket is dead without these great fast bowlers
Mandeep Singh pitcher are more like highways now, two new balls no reverse swing and thicker bats, no wonder even a country like pakistan is struggling to produce more legends like the two w’s. Sad as a cricket fan 😞
@@alanrutherford2876 Swing is an art and now a days pakistani bowlers want to be fast rather then learning the art of swing the last guy I think that had awsome swing was Mohammad Asif Who sadly destroyed his own career he could have been the guy who if he played perhaps be on the same level as waqar and wasim
His 373 wickets are among the most respectable and destructive than Anderson's 550+ wickets right now who is hailed "great" by many.
Agree sir
373 were great but u got to give credit to anderson . u can not say that he waS greater than anderson without givibng credit to anderson
@@neilpatel7707 and he played way less matches then akram and anderson I think he was better then akram as well
@@horrorflixurdu9138 Waqar was very aggressive , would go for the Kill on every delivery. while Wasim played mind games with batsmen , made them look fool & then got them OUT with huge swinging deliveries. Waqar & McGrath said he was a Complete bowler.
th-cam.com/video/9JnqegxcJmE/w-d-xo.html
Anderson was created from Wasim so he's kind of the 2 w's illegal son lol. Waqar was amazing the inivators of swing.now all can do it.
A Legend Complimenting Abt Another Legend .... 2 of D Grts
the scary thing is he could have been even better had it not been for injuries look at the first half of his career his average was 18 per wicket
He relied on in swinger too much
@@brownmedia5658 used to get him wickets.!
Brown Media nobody could do the inswinger like him, he was the best by far
Brown Media you mean to say he should rely on you to get wickets or what ?????
@@brownmedia5658 thats like saying Mike Tyson relied on his right hook too much or Sachin Tendulkar relied on his cover drive too much or Roger Federer relied on his serve down the line too much. I could go on but I wouldnt want to rely on my logic too much.
Waqur younis is one of my all time greatest fast bowlers 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thank you Allan, you are true legend as well. Best of 90s
Allan Donald himself is not only a legendary fast bowler but also a inspiring roll model of his generation
If Pakistanis could field well his wickets would have been 500+
Your statement might sound silly to some people but trust me mate you are 200 percent correct
Totally agree
Pakistan should hire some decent fielding coaches, take on former great fielders or try to like Neil Fiarbrother, Jonty Rhodes, maybe Jacques Kallis too?
@@TIGERDO100 Pakistan hired Jonty Rhodes as a Fielding coach and he left. He said that Glaciers can move faster than the Pakistani Player. Our players doesn't have the will to dive.
@@proudpakhtun2370 I can only find a link that PK wanted to hire him on a short term basis. They should try and re-hire him or another proved good fielder. if they don't have the discipline and or will to improve their fielding, Pakistan will never achieve or play to its full potential on a consistent basis. Its a waste.
Waqar retired at the age of 32. In that also he didn't play nearly 2 years due to politics. Imagine if he had played those two years and until 36 of age.
Indeed Donald him self was a fearsome bowler! respect all the way from Dubai.
Peak Waqar is the greatest fast bowler ever. Post injury he became a trundler.
Whereas Wasim was excellent throughout his career, injury or not, debut or last game.
Waqar and Wasim are like Lara and Sachin of fast bowling. Peak vs Consistency.
He was easily the fastest bowler of all time during first 5 years of his career. I admire him a lot for him knowing that side-arm bowling action would bring injuries BUT he never compromised pace for longevity until got injured in mid 90s. Pre-1995 his strike rate and average was way way better than all others. He along with Steyn are the ONLY bowlers with ability to swing at high pace.
Shane bond too
The great Waqar Younis and Greate Wasim Akram. They are highly respectable in Pakistan. Everyone admire them till now.
What a legend. Sultans of swing; Wasim and Waqar.
Mr Alan Donald your bowling action is the most beautiful and incomparable sir.
at 2:58 balls gonna reverse and these 2 guys will clean you up. (I love it when he says that).
These videos deserved higher production value. Better sound, at least.
Great words from the legend himself.
As most of cricket lovers if I still loves cricket the only reason is you Legend, great waqar
Waqar used to make the ball talk at express pace. Never seen him bowl a bouncer. An expert toe crusher.
Waqar was a true definition of a fast bowler. Starting with the run up, action, pace, swing, aggression and accuracy being the cherry on top. Extremely rare to find all these factors in one fast bowler.
He got Injured before the 92 wc and was bowling at 150kph+ before 92,had it not been for that injury,waqar would have been amongst the fastest ever
Beautifully described by Mr. Allan Donald
Waqar; yo my love, the one who forced me love Cricket and the Fast Bowling, also forced me to go back in Flash Back and love the Greatest fast bowler Michael Holding,
The greatest fast bowler ever
Waqar younis is the best bowler in cricket world forever.
Early 90s OMG he was with serious pace 😳
Serious Pace + High Arm Action + Reverse Swing Yorkers = 🔥
The toe crusher.....
Mashallah,,,
Waqar Bhai is Waqar-e-Pakistan ;)
Waqar Younis great and number one bowlar all words
Great kommentar About the Great Waqar younis and Wasim Akram by great Donald Allan
Hit the stumps. Legend.
Waqar and Donald were my favorites in the 1990’s! ❤
there are only so man wickets one can take when you got wasim akram bowling form the other end
One of the legends of cricket 👍
#MasterOfBananaSwing
#ToeCrusher
His real competitor
Exactly Donald vs waqar
I love two bowing action..... Waqar and donald
I never seen such fast reverse swing bowler
I would agree with sabbir, no disrespect for little master but it would have been interesting to see the battles between Waqar, Waseem and Tendulkar. Unfortunately the greatest bowlers and batsmans of their era failed to play against each other due to some silly political games.
Not some silly political games dude... Nobody wanna play with harbingers of terrorism.....Our soldiers die protecting our country from home grown terrorists from pakistan...
EvilPlaya built toilets dont worry about politics you wankstain.
Wasim said recently that Waqar was not 18 yrs old ,at debut ,but around 20 yrs.
So waqar retired at 34 and not at 32 .
Donald and Waqar- Brett Lee and Akhtar of early 90s.
Donel great bowler good run up
waqar the best by far
Donald was the best bowler of his time . Then Glen McGrath
Candy Man shut up moron!!!
Actually both bowlers r quite comparable in stats in test cricket while in odi i would say Donald was better.
Dates Mixed Up or person mixed up. Because Waqar had played ODIs and Test 2-3 years before Allan Donald.
Legend talking about legend
0:38 waqar is senior to donald in international cricket circuit how he calls him a kid.
I'm not sure the picture of him and Andrew Symonds is suitable lol
He bowled head height at him! 🤣
hahahah true.
Well sir a bowler first plans and executes his wicket taking ball as per batsman style of playing. if he hits the ball at stumps every time he would become predictable and on top of it what do you think a batsman playing against him are school level cricketers they are also trained to defense those kind of deadly balls
and they still couldn't do it that says a lot about one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time
is the best bowler in the history of the game with sir viv richard beat btsmman
Imran Ashraf Wasim Akram.
The best overall bowler (Test & ODI), yes it's Waqar. The greatest ODI bowler is Brett Lee. The greatest Test bowler is Dale Steyn.
@@elialvah lol wasim akram has 502 wickets in odis so how Brett is best??
@@@sheikhmuzamil4891 Superior strike rate by a considerable margin. More 5 wicket hauls despite far less matches played. Wasim is probably the most skilled bowler that ever lived but ultimately, it's about wicket taking. Dale Steyn and Brett Lee are absolute machines. The fast bowling hall has many champions that make the the debate for greatest a tough one but if you really take a look, Dale Steyn and Brett Lee are actually head and shoulders above the field respectively in each of the game's formats.
@@elialvah now I would say starc is better than Lee in odi cricket. He took faster 50,100 as well as 150 wkts. Than Lee in odi with better average till now. If he could be able to maintain this form for few more years he will surely be called better than Lee.
I feel bad not to have any fast bowler from India.
feed your nation with enough of meat and beef, soon they will start producing!
M.Yahya y there is no dearth of talent,its the nurturing of the talent that is not done properly. Batting is something that everyone wants to do on the flat dry pitches.
2Ws did not play against Sachin in their peak (early 90s)otherwise what could have happened easily understood given the fact that Sachin failed against Shoaib in his peak numerous occasion and both 2Ws were far better bowler compare to Shoaib.
HMM
Good
Sachin has hit Shoaib for close to 50 boundaries .
+Kunal Saxena
And Shoaib has dismissed Sachin a bloody 9 times, more than any other bowler who faced Sachin.
Sainandan so you are typical Sachin hater by stating the obvious fact?
Allan Donald the greatest White Skinned fast bowler in the 142 years history of cricket
Jealous!! Thats a harsh term Donald.
They were jealous
The white lighting throws
Ad got his years wrong there.
Waqar Played for Surrey in 1989-90.
Destroyed England with Wasim in the 1992 tour of England.
ali khan exactly mate the tour of England was his comeback after almost a year out due to his lower stress fracture to his back
@@psychm4787 I wish he had not returned,Vicky never regained his pace,and slowly deteriorated,finally was kicked out after 2003 world cup debacle.
If he hadnt returned then,to this day,people would talk about his pace and skill,like they talk about Mohammad Zahid.
ali khan he was kicked out because wasim akram led a revolt against him in the 2003 World Cup, and yes after Waqar’s comeback he had lost almost 2 yards in pace, but having said this waqar still performed exceptionally well during 1997-2003, it was a very serious injury he had many had written of waqar’s chances of ever playing again but credit to him and his determination for making sure he played again
bro,in 2003,both wasim and waqar and saeed anwar and ijaz and so many others were kicked out.
Vicky after his 2 back injuries lost his pace,was never the same.And he was rightly booted out in 2003.Once he was over his best,he should have stepped down himself.
@@psychm4787 he was rightly booted out,alongwith wasim,saeed anwar, ijaz and few others.Waqar should have retired in 96.
Anderson take mostly wickets in England
The great waqar
Wasim.akram destroyed waqar career otherwise no body could touch his record
True
Shia mahajir spotted want to create confusion
Yorkers from hell
Pakistan have produced only two genuine fast bowlers....
1. Waqar Younis
2. Shoaib akhtar
Good
Who did Donald pick as No.1?
tylerdurden786 Dale Steyn
Imagine if he don't have that injury.
Waqar Younis never took 5 wickets against Australia on the other hand Anderson took 5 times 5 wickets against Australia
@sabbirmahmood le le....chutiye

Honourable Mentions:
( Michael Holding , Harold Larwood , Joel Garner , Waqar Younis , Allan Donald )
Sachin is legend. nobody never dare to challenge him
+Anjesh Sharma Maybe so, but this video is not about Sachin Tendulkar. No. It's the great Alan Donald talking about the equally great Waqar Younis with no mention of Tendulkar.
Try to keep taking your ADD meds and stay FOCUSED.
+Mansoor Habib totally agree but sadly they would never take their heads out of their stinky brown asses.
azq1981 Grow up.
Lol this clown is lost.
Think of all-time best left-arm bowler: WASIM AKRAM
Think of all-time best right-hand batsman: Could name 20 more contenders
I think Tendulkar was the second best RIGHT hand batsman of all time.
