In his prime even top batsmen found him almost unplayable. He was also a useful batsman, though perhaps not a very patient one. We have been lucky in being able to choose from a long line of fine cricketers, especially bowlers
2:09 Listen to the commentry. How dare he say Astle was batting poor?? This guy can sit on ac room and say all kind of crap. Really dont know why a country of 1 billion cannot produce good commentators.Why they have to bring this digraceful man again and again. I beg all channels to remove Sanjay out of commentry team.I meant Sanjay Manjaykar not Sanjay Dutt.
current generation are even cricketers first of all ? all jokers and clowns play now and T20 has spoiled the quality of cricket. 90s era was the best cricket.
This T20 is detrimental to the game of Cricket. The art of batting and bowling will diminish if T20 is played at the same rate. These T20 players when put in test matches often seem mediocre.
Agree. Want to add that Hitting an unplayable spot at every length means variation in line is also a quality of his just like variation in length. Two lines make a point or as you say, spot. Horizontal or line and vertical or length.
You got the point .even McGrath and others had to bowl with particular line and length.. whenever McGrath miss the length beaten by batsmen..but Wasim Akram had ability like he could make any line and lenght unplayable.thayswhy he was artist of bowling
Everything is smooth, his short run up, bowling action and the follow through. Just make bowling look ridiculously easy Wasim Akram 👍👍. Respect from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Wazz use to make batsman dance to his own tunes and that is why wazz since 1990's till his retirement alone has been considered as one of the best & also a mentor for the fast bowlers especially the left seamers.
Superb Just Super exhibition and making Nathan Astle cramp for a room and the way Astle was stucked that was more surprising because as far as i remember Astle was never ever the guy to just be a silent spectator by just standing in the crease man he used to be bludgeoning by dancing down the wicket either for a boundary or a huge six.
This must be towards the end of his career. Still bowling close to 140 kph consistently. 92 world cup he might have been bowling 150+. Swinging the ball at that pace the cricket ball would be literally invisible.
@@muzammilmohsin7259 actually there is no exact parameter to check the skills of a bowler. Average, strike rate and wicket taking abilities against the best batsmen are the only way to check the strength of the bowler. Their stats are available on the Cricbuzz you can easily compare and find who is better. In late 90s Sachin, Jayasuriya never felt comfortable in front of Ambrose even though he was at the last stage of his career whereas Sachin, Jayasuriya hit many times both Wasim & Waqar out of the park. Ambrose was the only bowler who took 7 wickets for 1 run in test cricket against Aus which is still a record. And last but not the least only few batsmen could hit a six (only one or two times) against Ambrose. Just imagine where Wasim stands in front of Ambrose.
@@NitinKumar-ln3ow u r rite that Ambrose may be better than wasim in terms of stats and the main reason for that could be Pakistan being a worst catching and fielding side else wasim could have had better stats than Ambrose or any other fast bowler in the world and talking about the skill Ambrose or any other fast bowler in the world can come closer to this legendary supreme bowling artist u can check the comments of all the indians regarding wasim Akram for this video and my friend it seems u have a very bias thinking. Well it doesn't matter whether I admit the fact or not but the world admits he is the bowler of the century.
@@NitinKumar-ln3ow ambore played most of matches on bouncy tracks and wasim on placid tracks plus wasim was handy batsmen as well but i reckon both are equally good in their own terms
It was the first semifinal of the 2nd edition of the ICC Champions Trophy, held in Kenya in 2000. Pakistan lost the match by four wickets. Saeed Anwar scored a brilliant hundred.

@@bhargajavarao8614 Moin Khan, Pakistan's skipper predicted that final will be played between India Pakistan. New zealand clinched the title by defeating India in the final.
Yes unexpected even I thought pak will win the finals against India anwar was in great form especially against India he loved playing somehow New Zealand raised there game in these two matches
Cricket was better when bowlers were dominant. In my opinion, Wasim's best bowling was in a losing cause against WI in 2000 (despite being a bit past his prime by then).
Nathan Astle is an opening batsman and he seems clueless what he is being bowled. I always say Wasim Akram is the best bowler ever existed in the history of cricket.
Yeah i remember these both match Wasim's out was crucial probaly that was no bowl which was not given 1 extra fielder was fielding in circle not notied by the umpire, wasim was very engry In final nz won from nowhere due to chris Cairns 💯
Today's kids have it easy on flat pitches against mediocre bowling. You see average players like a Warner or rohit open and make easy runs. They would have averaged less than 30 in the 1990s.
@@punittiwari212 kuch bhi ajkal test match m 500 runs kitni baar bante h even in india teams hardly reaches 300 today's player are more fit better reflex they work hard can't compare them to Sachin or lara but they would have same avg as they have today ek waqt tha jab india pak match hote the sab draw bhai pitch ka khel h aur ajkal tempering ni kar sakte isliye ball itni ni swing hoti
Warner and Rohit arent average player but yes you cannot compare them with great sachin or lara they were the run machine against any opposition in any sort of pitches and thats the reason i place Sachin specially as all time great batsman not just bcoz of his record but the way he played 90's threating fast bowling specially the pakistan and west indian fasties i ll again say rohit and warner or any1 else is average batsman but cricket has changed now not suitable for fast bowling
In swing,out swing,reverse swing ,cutters,bouncer,Yorker you name it he has it all well equipped
What a bowler he is!!
In his prime even top batsmen found him almost unplayable. He was also a useful batsman, though perhaps not a very patient one. We have been lucky in being able to choose from a long line of fine cricketers, especially bowlers
What a discrib hahaha
the best ever bowler in the world in all condition
HMMMMM REALLY TRUE IRFAAN ZAHIR BHAI KO INOHONE HI SIKHAYA THA
He could bowl six balls in six different ways. What a talented player he was. Tailenders did not exist for him.
True. Best death bowler
@@marksman9249 Best one day bowler ever. Is there anyone who even came close to his one day wickets ?
Sultan of swing. He never needed to go above 145. His swing did the magic itself then why to bowl faster??
The scary thing is that this is Wasim well past his prime
he was like old wine bro.became more and more effective with time
Talent has no age. He still can swing the ball, of course his pace has gone down now.
If he past his prime then why he was playing and occupying youngster space.. there is nothing so called prime
I meant this is not him at full pace. Still he is devastating.
Great bowler in the history of cricket

😀😀😀😀
Not just his bowling but his body language and attitude is what a perfect fast bowler should have.
The way umpire and even batsman appreciates him for bowling, tells you what sorcery is going on. JUST MAGICAL
Wasim the greatest fast bowler game has ever seen whether it’s a swing bowling or seam!
The use of the wrist to swing it both ways is incredible. Dangerous with the new ball and even more so with the old ball. Great great bowler
Most talented fast bowler in the world....
No most skillful bowler
Even the best batsmen looks like ordinary cricketers in front of Wasim. What a legend!
Wasim Akram the great, thanks for uploading Legend's video
Current generation batsmen can't face wasim.

Well he is the GOAT.
G.O.A.T Respect & love from 🇮🇳

Love you WAseem PA g tusi great o

it's 2023 now and I'm sure they're still
He was literally toying with Astle here, Genius bowler.
Everything is smooth, his short run up, bowling action and the follow through. Just make bowling look ridiculously easy Wasim Akram 👍👍.
Respect from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
One bowler everyone is enjoying- umpire, batsman, crowd, opposition crowd, people watching then and now
never seen a bowler with such varieties, several different balls in an over with the shortest and stylish runup. incredible!
he is bowling 86 mph in this match he also bowled same speed in 2003 world cup so in his prime he definitely bowled 90 mph every ball
WASIM SIR I MISS YOU MY FAVRATE TEAM NEW ZELAND
King no one can match this skill of bowling GREAT WASIM AKRAM
Wasim is legend. PCB failed to take advantage of his priceless experience!
Kiya sale itna to diya hai wasim ne Pak ko aap kiya apni jaan dede 🤣🤣🤣
Such a fine batsman Nathan Astle looks in awe of the wonderful bowling by the legend
Nathan astle very underrated
BOWLING WITH SUCH AUTHORITY ..WHN HE IS CLEARLY PASS HIS PRIME. EK DIL HAI WASIM BHAI, KITNI BAAR JETOGI
Wasim Sir legendary bowler all time best
The most skilled bowler in cricket history🇮🇳🇵🇰
That was a masterclass on new ball swing bowling from the greatest left arm fast bowler to ever grace the game.
Hard new ball & cloudy conditions ...and Its Wasim Akram for you..
King of swing
In earlier days pitches were very bouncy all the times 1:23
Terrific left arm fast bowling.
The best ever bowler in all conditions.
Pace , swing and bounce and everything !!!!! Along with craft and control and fast bowling intelligence !!!!! In short : Wasim Akram
Wazz use to make batsman dance to his own tunes and that is why wazz since 1990's till his retirement alone has been considered as one of the best & also a mentor for the fast bowlers especially the left seamers.
GOAT - greatest of all time!
Magical stuff
I wish I could have watched wasim and waqar bhai bowl..I was 9 when they retired so have not watched much cricket of these 2 legends
Who is stopping you to watch it on TH-cam ???
Wonderful to watch n great inspiration 4 the new comers. Simply great

He was a superb ODI batsman Astle but for him Wasim is a nightmare
Genius bowler, commentators giving the batter crap. One of the all time great fast bowlers moving it all over the place, no one could play this spell.
New Zealand won both this game and the next one against India , the final of Mini World Cup 2k
If you look at the impact the pressure he was creating at one end the wickets were falling at other end ... Awesome 👌
All time best.. left arm fast bowler.. Wasim Akram
Nathan astle is good player but against wasim akram very difficult to face
Akram showed stars to Astle in day
One of the greatest bowler ever produced in cricket
one of the best bowler of all time
Awesome bowling by the great bowler! 😍🥰👌🏻👍🏻👏💚❤️🇵🇰🏏
The greatest left arm fast bowler in the history of world cricket.
WASIM SIR LOVE FROM INDIA NICE ACTION AND NICE TEAM KE UPAR AAPKA DRAWA MEANS DEHSHAT.
That's why he was called the cherry charmer.

You are right pa g
In 1985 he was bowling 160.. in 1980 he was bowling 170....in 1975 he was bowling 180.....in 1966 he was bowling 190....in 1956 he was bowling 200

2009 also pak lost to nz umar akmal wrong decision then younis khan dropped a sitter at a crucial juncture which resulted in pak losing
Nice video. WASEEM proud of Pakistan. Malik Hassan bilal
Look at his shoulder wasim sir is the bowler only who has used his height at full use
What a bowler! Master of swing
WK is the only bowler in the world who could ball six different balls in an over
If pakistan was a good fielding team and drs was introduced before the end of his career then he would literally have double wickets
That was semifinals of mini world cup . New zealnd won this match and final against India to lift the series
Despite of threatening bowling by Wasim Akram Pakistan still couldn’t able to defend these 252 tottal roger twose took the game away from Pakistan

I think this was the first and only time NZ won against Pakistan in any Knockout game at ICC tournament. Which was then a huge shock as well
@Mahmood Ahmad yeah I forgot about that match bro
As in most cases, one end you build pressure while the other bowler takes all the wickets (batsmen going after the bowling)
Thats why waqar got wickets because of the pressure wasim built.
@@billytubes Not waqar. It is was Azhar Mehmood at the other end. But Pakistan lost this match comprehensively at the end
Great bowler of all time 😎

It was golden era of pakistan cricket
outstanding
When i see these old videos i think how lucky is Virat Kohli!
Best bowler over
Bowling close to 140s with this much swing and accuracy, what can the batsman even do
Wasim akram at his best comes close to the fizz
And if you thought that the Kiwis had to negotiate Wasim and they were fine, remember the bowler from the other end got 2 wickets in 2 overs.
A sultan of cricket ever
yes dear true even not able to play both of Wasim Akram & waqar
