Imagine bowling all day long (in a test match) with such a runup ,when you know most of the bowls would either be defended or left and still giving 100% , clicking almost 90 miles+ per hour on every delivery.. Man, that requires some serious patience and dedication! Take a bow Legend!
Then they had mohammed sami , mohammed asif , mohammed amir , umar gul and wahab riaz who all have/had their brief shining . Their fast/swing bowling is always interesting .

when I read your comment at first I thought what a brilliantly educated and articulate young Pakistani chap, then I clicked read more and came to know that you're actually Indian
Shoaib Akthar has less wickets compared to Brett Lee but all his wickets were carved in the memories of cricket lovers more than any bowler. Only bowler I involuntarily enjoyed even when he took Indian wickets. Such SWAG when he took Sehwag's wicket in 2003 Pakistan tour. Unforgettable.
The contribution of fielding of pak was dismal and he (Shoib) had to struggle hard single handedly to oust a batsman. All the fielders seemed paralyzed/handicap .
Lee played on Bowling friendly wickets and having excellent wicketkeepers and fielders to support him while Shebbi bhai have had kamran akmal all his life.
Now that's why i love shoaib akhtar......not because of his ridiculously scary pace but for his effort, bowling his heart out, sitting here i really feel sorry for the batsmen who had to face him....poor tailenders.
players n artist are not bound to geographic bounderies .they are loved every where. i am pakistani but huge fan of khole while stiĺl believe no one plays better own drive than vvx luxman . like wise wasim in india is respected even more than pakistan. association to ur home team is natural but i think end of the day its victory of cricket.
Respect to Shoaib...I am a big fan and always will be...The way he ran on the cricketing field and the fear he brought in the opposition minds can never be matched again..salute from an Indian
I absolutely hated him back then due to the way he dominated the India batters in this test match but now i feel fortunate to have watched this fast bowling legend in action live.They don't make such fast bowlers with a swag anymore.Love from India

this test match introduced the world Shoaib Akhtar the fastest bowler in the world. although he made his debut in 1997. the tendulkar dismissal silenced everyone in the stadium .
@@Allinone-qf2kd 6 marna koi badi baat nai, har koi marta hai, abhi Abdul Samad ne Bumrah ki pitaye ki, usse kya hota hai fr ? Ek bowler ka naam bolo jisko 6 na pada ho. *coming from a cricketer*
Before you think his pace was due to hyperextension of his joints, think again. His level of fitness was already on a different scale. You can visually see the difference in his physique compared to all others, which is down to his years of excruciating training. His extraordinary run up, delivery after delivery, over after over, mostly in hot temperatures, the relentless training to build up endurance and strength to generate some serious pace consistently behind that ball! 🤯 The hyperextension was just the cherry on top to give that extra firepower right at the time of release, where he was already steaming in like a jet from his run up!
I believe he must have crossed the 100 mph barrier in this innings, when you see players like Azharuddin and Dravid being clearly beaten with pace, you must admit this is something serious.
Ron P, I think you are wrong, Pak was closing in on a victory here, Shoaib was bowling at blistering speeds and good consistency, I'm sure he touched 100mph+ too bad it wasn't recorded.
The second statement is BS, there is no such thing as fast bowlers bowling slower spells in tests. Also, nope, Akhtar was at his fittest and strongest right here. 1997 - 2003 period was his heyday.
undoubtedly the greatest India Pakistan test match, watched by almost half a million people over 5 days in Calcutta, gave rise to the fastest bowler in history, and had the greatest moment in history of test cricket when Shoaib Akhtar bowled Sachin on the first ball in front of 100 thousand, great spell of fast bowling, Indian soil, hostile crowd, india-pakistan rivalry, if this was in Olympics Shoaib would have got gold medal. Truly a historic test match and fast bowling spell by Shoaib
@@rajkumarkr2281 Not at all The Fastest ball record Of Shoaib Akhter is 161 Kmph Is recognised By all Standards of ICC .and you can't point it as wrong
He had such a good action at the start of his career when he wasn't bulky, I mean look at that arm speed and the run and follow through, everything was perfect
Yeah well what made shoaib famous during this tests were the quick deliveries & the 2 wickets that entirely changed the landscape 1. Sachin's wicket 2. Dravid's wicket & that too getting bowled.
Brother before soab akhtar maybe everyone has told there will be never be a Steff thomsan like pace ...but history created, the world is very big enough and maybe a Indian boy breaks this ❤️🤫💫
He was emotion for 90’s kids. Amazing run up, raw pace, height, well-built physique, and those hair flashing on his face. Oh my god, he was love of millions.

Remember those days watching this on TV as a kid and hating on the Indian Batsmen for being overly defensive, terrorized and on back foot most of the time against Shoaib Akhtar. Few years later I realized, that the Indian Batsmen actually did fairly well playing such aggressive, insane, fast and consistent spells of fast bowling. And then of course there were Wasim, Waqar and Saqlain breathing fire too. Great battle of bat and ball.
if you consider the fact that those were dead pitches which offered nothing for fast bowlers then you can truly appreciate his bowling. only bowled and lbw were options here for fast bowler.
Pakistani cricketers used to have special talent back then not now. Since last few years India’s pace attack is much better than Pakistan and Pak bowlers now a days are all good but not eye catching
@@siddharthadatta Lmao, you'll always find a jealous Indian under any comment praising Pakistan. You'll never change. This "Pakistani bowling attack today" won the match by 180 runs against your team having "Kohli, Rohit, Dhawan, Dhoni, Bumrah, Bhuvineshwar, Jadeja, Pandya etc." Amir got your star batsmen, V. Kohli, out twice in two consecetive delivery. Azhar dropped a straight catch in the slip, and the very next ball, Shadab caught it. According to Kohli himself, Amir is the best bowler he's ever faced.
@Fareed Ahmad Siddiqui, I don’t have to prove anything. Just see where Pakistan is in test ranking and frankly pakistani attack now a days is average, they continue to play under the shadows of their great predecessors like Imran, wasim, waqar and shoaib. I never had hesitation to say those were greats but now a days even Bangladesh can beat you guys outside pakistan Pakistan is now a days like what India used to be in the 90s and India is now like what Pakistan used to be in the 90s...so you see time has changed 🤣
Kh sh, I don’t give a shit what you are, you piece of shit...and I don’t really care what you worship or not..you can well be an atheist. Only an idiot like you can compare current Pakistani team with the Indian team...keep living in your dreams. And by the way..your favorite England can’t win anything if there is no swing and won their only world cup thanks to the Sri Lankan umpire 🤣🤣🤣
Worst thing for Shoaib Akhtar was if the bat got slight touch on his bowling then it went for a 4 or 6. Batsmen and Pakistans own wicket keepers feared his bowling power and speed.
Syed Farhan thanks a lot for your suggestion. Shoaib played merely 46 test matches in his 14 years long career. He was unfit and was surrounded by controversies all the times. So yes on his day he was able to thrash world's best batting line up away. However, most of the times he was either unavailable or used to throw away freebies at the batsmen. So I was referring to his overall effectiveness to the team.
This was the game when shoaib showed that he was ready to face the world. Controversy about his action or no but this was his moment.huge fan. Love from india🇮🇳
@@Morphysince94no he hadn't. His action was accused so many times throughout his career. He was allowed to bowl in that action due to his condition otherwise he would have been convicted.
dude it wasn't just all about rage, he was an intelligent bowler as well, he kept on bowling same line and length consistently which was the important thing.......from india
This is the reason why Sachin is better player than Virat (whoever compares them) because they have played likes of Shoaib, Wasim & Waqar Edit: guys dont fight, I personally like Virat. He has excellent technique and command that’s why he is world No.1. Imran Khan said Sunny is the greatest batsman of this generation so we all are on same page! Cheers
I still love to watch old India Pakistan matches! They are match to none. Bowling of Shoaib, Wasim, Waqar and Saqlain to Ganguly, Laxman, Dravid, Sachin still gives me goose bumps.
Ankur Banerjee dhoni has played serious pace of akhtar in 06 Pak tour where he n yuvi put superb partnership to save test that hundred from dhoni is one of the best in Indian cricket
Dhoni and Yuvraj played him really comfortably in 2007 too when he toured India and was still v sharp in pace (145+ most of the time and 150 sometimes). Also Dhoni smashed loads of runs and one of the finest hundreds I’ve ever seen with helicopter shots aplenty in 2013-14 against peak Johnson (Mohali is a pacy pitch too),so I’m pretty sure he could handle pace of any kind and by extension since Kohli is a better player (who also scored loads of runs against quality pace), so can he
4:43 look at the ball he bowled. Azhar stunned! This is the class of bowling, this is the pace, this is the reverse swing, and this is the Rawalpindi Express! The world want to see an other bowler like Shoaib to witness the class of fast bowling! 2 decades gone no one came to beat his (Shoaib's) class.
The fastest bowler I've ever seen live. For Durham v Somerset. I'm 58. Martin Love got 274 in the 1st innings. Shoaib partnered Steve Harmison for Durham. A fairly intimidating partnership...... Shoaib made Harmison look medium pace. That's how lightning quick he was. Phil Mustard standing a mile back, taking the ball above his head, jumping. Somerset were 2 runs for 4 wickets down.
Anuj Ddn You need to play to get wickets. You can’t take wickets from TV rooms. Shoaib was not fit enough to play long enough. No one can be blamed for that
Very amazing & too entertaining bowling action of Shoaib Akhtar. He is one of the greatest Fast bowlers of all time in the Cricket History. I love him so much. Thank you.
this is when Akhtar was at his best, nice straight arm back then, as he got older he started bending his arm, he wanted to keep bowling fast but the amount of strain and toll it took on his body was evident
not just that you check his history he was always flat footed with screwed up knees. Began walking after the age of 5 with doctors saying he could never be a sportsperson for sure. so was never always fit even when fit. Those physical problem contributed to his career when he played as well as when he was injured.
akhtar himself told that he started career pretty late almost 3 years later so that energy and peak was wasted because of poor cricketing system. Plus you add politics to it
We have 5 around 150 k bowlers but they don't have a charisma like Shoaib Akhtar even put together. They look college kids in front of him. Shoaib had speed, stamina, and physical fitness, what a treat to watch!
@@saurabhkumar-ez8cb you fool how on earth can you compare these greats against losers who bowl like gully cricketers in today's game.. Get a life.. I'm pretty sure you have not seen cricket pre 2005..
All the young guns are facing great bowlers now We cant forget starc, Johnson lockie Ferguson and jofra... Every era has some great batsmen and some great bowlers...you cant compare two era's because the mentality of game play changes with time
Wow.. That was a superb era of Fast Bowlers.. nowadays there is no such bowler like.. Shoaib, Waqar, Wasim, Brettlee, Glenn Mcgrath, Shane Bond, Shaun Pollock, Allen Donald.. Missing all those guys in todays cricket.
at that time the bowler were hungry to take wickets and the game of cricket was dominated by the bowlers and it was very difficult to make half century or century. But nowadays cricket has changed no such hungriness of taking whickets is seen by most of the bowlers. And batsman easily make half century and century. Earlier the cricket was more interesting with low totals than today's cricket. What's your opinion??
I agree.. 70's 80' 90's 3 decades we're majorly dominated by bowlers.. the revolution of batsman dominance started since year 2000.. last 20 years is been dominated heavily by batsman's it will surely continue for next 10 years for sure.. Cricket has seen many changing phases in last 50 years..
Don't forget the use of new age spring bats and ability to challenge decisions playing it's fair part in helping reach 50s n 100s with ease. So that brings us to ultimate question of How can we even copare compare the great Lara's , sachins, desmonds, Viv, Waugh's , A border, D Jones, M Bevan, Dravid, sehwag, k.dev, cronjes ,Wessels, J Khalis, N Hussein, i. Botham etc with likes of overated ones of today's era Dhoni, Koli who claim to be best ever . I say not even close . no comparison . With the Golden era of Great bowlers gone of course we going to have ones scoring tons of runs with springbats and DRS reviews
Those were the times when batsman has to earn the place after facing furiously fast bowlers. That was cricket. Now one team score 350 another finish it in 45 ovrs.
Such was the pace that Indian batsmen were not used to it. That no-ball to Azhar, my my! Azhar was caught deep in the crease and was frozen in space and time. Indian batsmen clearly had no answer to such scorching pace and swing.
He was a fighter he tried his best in pakistan we used to respect him alot during his playing days coz he was dead straight up to the task dedicated & serious towards his job.
But no ball thi 4: 36 pe agli ball pr free hit ka chance mila batsmen ko but faida nhi utha paya batsmen free hit pr koi run nahi aya blki agli ball bar bold kr diya
Very similar to leopard hunting down a bunch of Rabbits.. This is brutal! The best part is there is no sledging .. if Akhter wanted he could have given each one of these batsmen a bloody nose!
thrilling to watch... flying horse, the one and only SHOAIB AKHTAR throwing in-swinging Yorkers at 150+ kph, ye wo wqt tha jb players, leagues se zyda mulk ke lye khailna honor smjte te, ab Test cricket se hmre players ko allergy ha.

Azhar of the late 90s was never a confident player against quality express bowlers like Akhtar or Donald.
To face him and Akram from the other end would be a nightmare to ANY batsman, don't care if you are Tendulkar (as we can see here) or Bradman himself.

Shoaib Akhter was more lethal than Waqar ( especially in terms of creating fear & injuring batsman).. who says cricket is gentleman's game..
@@montyshukla1457 i guess you haven't seen prime waqar then
@@montyshukla1457 Shoaib was'nt even near Waqar...not even close.
@@montyshukla1457 Im huge shoaib fan but waqar bw 1990-1995 was the best bowler there ever could be in the world .Period
Worst thing for Shoaib Akhtar was if the bat got slight touch on his bowling then it went for a 4 or 6. Batsmen and Pakistans own wicket keepers feared his bowling power and speed.
scary fast..what a player Shoeb Akhtar was!
He was a cheating steroid taking pig........thank you
I would add 'on his day' to your statement. Most of the time he was crappy.
Yasir Hasan he averaged 25 in test and 24 in ODI when he was fit he was awesome.
Yasir
You need to grow up or get d cricket sense
Shoiab came to the cricket with all the master bowlers around from there to prove it is not a peanut
Syed Farhan thanks a lot for your suggestion. Shoaib played merely 46 test matches in his 14 years long career. He was unfit and was surrounded by controversies all the times. So yes on his day he was able to thrash world's best batting line up away. However, most of the times he was either unavailable or used to throw away freebies at the batsmen. So I was referring to his overall effectiveness to the team.
He was monster for batsman he was legend ❤ Dammm what a bowler we always miss him thank u for giving us great memory
More than fifty inswinging deliveries with some special yorkers.treat to watch😍😍😍.love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
This was the game when shoaib showed that he was ready to face the world. Controversy about his action or no but this was his moment.huge fan. Love from india🇮🇳
What controversy?
he has one of the cleanest techniques to bowl. totally natural action
The only controversy he was in was steroids but other than that his action was all legal
@@Morphysince94no he hadn't. His action was accused so many times throughout his career. He was allowed to bowl in that action due to his condition otherwise he would have been convicted.
this rage was our weapon,,, now we see it in clips and moments,,,
dude it wasn't just all about rage, he was an intelligent bowler as well, he kept on bowling same line and length consistently which was the important thing.......from india
The most truthful and hurtful comment ever on YT for us.

His bowling was poetry in motion.
Well said...truly a live poetry..
I love this man Shoaib Akhtar 😘❤️.
His hairs
His speed
His attitude
Just pleasure to see this man.
My childhood memories ❤️.
Fast bowlers like him,Wasim, Lee,Bond bought great excitement to the game
My childhood cricket idol!
Love from India
Wow how many crowd in a test match and these days only 200peoples are watching ind Vs West Indies match.
Because it was ind vs pak match played after 10 years
This is the reason why Sachin is better player than Virat (whoever compares them) because they have played likes of Shoaib, Wasim & Waqar
Edit: guys dont fight, I personally like Virat. He has excellent technique and command that’s why he is world No.1. Imran Khan said Sunny is the greatest batsman of this generation so we all are on same page!
Cheers
Great kholi to bhha h Sachin shoaib ki160 ko hit krta h but ye to dnda ukhdwa leta
So what,kohli also have faced starch,anderson,amir,malinga etc
Hold on guys watch the innings of sunny gawaskar sir against Indies attack against Lili ,Thomson ,botthom
@@jp-im7kf
Which moron told you that Kohli also faced Amir???
@@kaififitness6920 agree
Thank you for this video! ❤️
I still love to watch old India Pakistan matches! They are match to none. Bowling of Shoaib, Wasim, Waqar and Saqlain to Ganguly, Laxman, Dravid, Sachin still gives me goose bumps.
l wonder how Dhoni kholi and others would do if they face this young shoib .. How Dhoni will shown his helicopter shot
Ankur Banerjee dhoni has played serious pace of akhtar in 06 Pak tour where he n yuvi put superb partnership to save test that hundred from dhoni is one of the best in Indian cricket
Bhai shoaib is legend but maahi is also a legend phenom and out of the world.dhoni faces shoaib at the speed of 155.tour of pakistan in 2005 or 06.
Bhai ise sab ne dhoya hai uski pick pe bhi
U don't need to wonder...watch dhoni 2005 2006 against Pak.... even after dat till Shoaib played....
Dhoni and Yuvraj played him really comfortably in 2007 too when he toured India and was still v sharp in pace (145+ most of the time and 150 sometimes). Also Dhoni smashed loads of runs and one of the finest hundreds I’ve ever seen with helicopter shots aplenty in 2013-14 against peak Johnson (Mohali is a pacy pitch too),so I’m pretty sure he could handle pace of any kind and by extension since Kohli is a better player (who also scored loads of runs against quality pace), so can he

Those Golden days of cricket 😍😍😍
4:43 look at the ball he bowled. Azhar stunned! This is the class of bowling, this is the pace, this is the reverse swing, and this is the Rawalpindi Express!
The world want to see an other bowler like Shoaib to witness the class of fast bowling! 2 decades gone no one came to beat his (Shoaib's) class.
The fastest bowler I've ever seen live. For Durham v Somerset. I'm 58.
Martin Love got 274 in the 1st innings.
Shoaib partnered Steve Harmison for Durham. A fairly intimidating partnership......
Shoaib made Harmison look medium pace. That's how lightning quick he was. Phil Mustard standing a mile back, taking the ball above his head, jumping.
Somerset were 2 runs for 4 wickets down.
i remember those days, i became a durham fan only while shoaib was there though.
If shoaib had played under imran captaincy he would have taken 500 wickets or he would be out of team playing. only 4to 5 tests.
@@mudasirqadri3561 wasim is better shoaib is just fast. Wasim was more accurate
@@mudasirqadri3561 you stupid wasim is legend you can't compare akhtar with wasim ... akhtar was good bowler but wasim was superb
No it's just because of the problem in his ankle
@@abhisheksikdar2329 Wasim was busy fixing matches
Anuj Ddn You need to play to get wickets. You can’t take wickets from TV rooms. Shoaib was not fit enough to play long enough. No one can be blamed for that
I want green deadly pittches back and kill the stardom of batsmen now
you are right but wont get another Shoaib Akhtar
Even in this video the pitch is super slow with no bounce at all
I wish we had speed meter in those days he would have crossed 161 kph easily in these overs
Same thing I am thinking becoz reverse swing is too much which means a lot of speed
Yeah these look quicker than wood and nortje. 155 plus easily
Brilliant performance especially by Aktar...love too see him bowl
Very amazing & too entertaining bowling action of Shoaib Akhtar. He is one of the greatest Fast bowlers of all time in the Cricket History. I love him so much. Thank you.
hats off for uploading the good video quality version
this is when Akhtar was at his best, nice straight arm back then, as he got older he started bending his arm, he wanted to keep bowling fast but the amount of strain and toll it took on his body was evident
not just that you check his history he was always flat footed with screwed up knees. Began walking after the age of 5 with doctors saying he could never be a sportsperson for sure. so was never always fit even when fit. Those physical problem contributed to his career when he played as well as when he was injured.
akhtar himself told that he started career pretty late almost 3 years later so that energy and peak was wasted because of poor cricketing system. Plus you add politics to it
Rawalpindi Express always nightmare for all legends
Excellent bowling. Pure raw fast bowler.he bowled to win. He gave everything.
We have 5 around 150 k bowlers but they don't have a charisma like Shoaib Akhtar even put together. They look college kids in front of him. Shoaib had speed, stamina, and physical fitness, what a treat to watch!
Did virat ,rohit faced bowling like this 😝😝😝😝😝😝,😂😂😂 never ever!!
saurabh kumar Mitchell Starc can’t bowl above 150kph
@@saurabhkumar-ez8cb you fool how on earth can you compare these greats against losers who bowl like gully cricketers in today's game.. Get a life.. I'm pretty sure you have not seen cricket pre 2005..
Betay itni pace sirf shaun tait ki thi uss kaay baad koi Australian itni pace wala ni aya
It is not easy to face bowler like shoaib akhtar he is very dengerous all time...
Muhammad amir !!
I wish there was a speed gun, because that kind of bounce can only be extracted with sheer pace, specially the bouncer that went for four BYES.
One of the best time for pak they had awesome team wasim waqar shoaib saqlain
greatest bowler for all time.
fan from Bangladesh...♥
I love to watch Shoaib Akhtar's BOWLING ...

Go google Sachin also scared to face shohib akhtar

All the young guns are facing great bowlers now
We cant forget starc, Johnson lockie Ferguson and jofra...
Every era has some great batsmen and some great bowlers...you cant compare two era's because the mentality of game play changes with time
And you are fool

Sachin aur virat me bahut antar h ..sachin us time khela krte the jis time duniya ke mahan bowler khela krte the..
Players can't choose the era they play in.
Right shoaib akhter Bret Lee wasim akram imran khan Glen meggra
Kia chutiya msg b ..tera matlab virat us waqt paida hone tha...
True!!
Bilkul sahi kaha
Wow..
That was a superb era of Fast Bowlers.. nowadays there is no such bowler like.. Shoaib, Waqar, Wasim, Brettlee, Glenn Mcgrath, Shane Bond, Shaun Pollock, Allen Donald.. Missing all those guys in todays cricket.
every ball he bowled was a phenomenon...cricket at its very best ..
Well, being a cricket fan.... Only indian batsmen could handle such brutality.. Great Akhtar... We miss you.
at that time the bowler were hungry to take wickets and the game of cricket was dominated by the bowlers and it was very difficult to make half century or century. But nowadays cricket has changed no such hungriness of taking whickets is seen by most of the bowlers. And batsman easily make half century and century. Earlier the cricket was more interesting with low totals than today's cricket. What's your opinion??
I agree
Agreeed
Batting has evolved to the superior degree..
I agree.. 70's 80' 90's 3 decades we're majorly dominated by bowlers.. the revolution of batsman dominance started since year 2000.. last 20 years is been dominated heavily by batsman's it will surely continue for next 10 years for sure.. Cricket has seen many changing phases in last 50 years..
Don't forget the use of new age spring bats and ability to challenge decisions playing it's fair part in helping reach 50s n 100s with ease. So that brings us to ultimate question of How can we even copare compare the great Lara's , sachins, desmonds, Viv, Waugh's , A border, D Jones, M Bevan, Dravid, sehwag, k.dev, cronjes ,Wessels, J Khalis, N Hussein, i. Botham etc with likes of overated ones of today's era Dhoni, Koli who claim to be best ever . I say not even close . no comparison . With the Golden era of Great bowlers gone of course we going to have ones scoring tons of runs with springbats and DRS reviews
Those were the times when batsman has to earn the place after facing furiously fast bowlers. That was cricket. Now one team score 350 another finish it in 45 ovrs.
Such was the pace that Indian batsmen were not used to it. That no-ball to Azhar, my my! Azhar was caught deep in the crease and was frozen in space and time. Indian batsmen clearly had no answer to such scorching pace and swing.
Marvellous piece of bowling by Shoaib Akhtar!
He deserved all the ten wickets
Kumble soch rha hoga kab out hona Maine..😋😂.
He was a fighter he tried his best in pakistan we used to respect him alot during his playing days coz he was dead straight up to the task dedicated & serious towards his job.
😂😂😂😂
Anshul Thakur Kumble be like "Bhai may MatherChod hoon jo iske over may aya" 😂😂😂
but salute to kumble..a number 11 batsman managed to face shoaib for atleat an over..aj k tailenders hote to moot nikal jata
Kumble is the guy who took 10 wickets against pakistan. He is baap of them all.
Era when cricket is soul and players are god. Legendary bowlers and equally legendary batsman
MashaAllah wonderful superb great. Shoiab Akhtar bouncers and yokers and good length bowling the greatest fastest bowlar recorded in the world.
Even Akhtar's bowling in slow motion is faster than today's bowlers
Reverse swing with a speed of 160km/h..
My God that pace. Shoaib Akhtar’s era. Wish Pakistan could produce more pacers lik Wasim Waqar and shoaib.
Damn 4:36. Would be the fastest delivery ever bowled. Just look at azharuddin
Adnan Malik bas bhai yahi main dekh raha tha ki aur kis kis ne ye wali ball notice ki. Very fast 💨 ball
Par legal delivery nahi thi, to hum log consider nahi kr skty isko.
But no ball thi 4: 36 pe agli ball pr free hit ka chance mila batsmen ko but faida nhi utha paya batsmen free hit pr koi run nahi aya blki agli ball bar bold kr diya
easily a 90+
Damn just at that ball.. Absolute fire
That was the most fiercest spell from Shoaib Akhtar. It was sad to see India loosing but hats off to Akhtar. Mind blowing spell.
Kya jaan lada kr khelta tha banda 💪🏽
Amazing big fan from India
Very similar to leopard hunting down a bunch of Rabbits.. This is brutal! The best part is there is no sledging .. if Akhter wanted he could have given each one of these batsmen a bloody nose!
when the bowlers did ball talking but now its only verbal or through social media
Watching Shoaib makes me wanna become young again and learn to bowl like that! :)
fast bowling at its best
thrilling to watch... flying horse, the one and only SHOAIB AKHTAR throwing in-swinging Yorkers at 150+ kph, ye wo wqt tha jb players, leagues se zyda mulk ke lye khailna honor smjte te, ab Test cricket se hmre players ko allergy ha. PCB Must take strict action, and mk a formidable pool of players who prefer to play for the country and the Test cricket.
Akhtar,Akram and Lee They will always remain my favourite.......
