Umairee95 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 At a charity event hosted by current India captain Virat Kohli, India’s wicketkeeper MS Dhoni has revealed a surprising pick as the hardest bowler he’s ever faced. It is none another than former Pakistan quick Shoaib Akhtar. All the fast bowlers are quite difficult, with the limited technique I had, it was very difficult to face the fast bowlers,” Dhoni said. “Still, if I had to pick one, I would pick Shoaib Akhtar.” “Very simple reason: he was quick, he was fast, he could bowl a yorker, he could bowl a bouncer but you never expected a beamer. He was a bit unpredictable [but] he was fun to play against.”
sandeep Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Its a back-handed insult. Because Shobby wouldn't even hesitate to go as far as throw a beamer to the head if he got spanked. randomGuy 1
cric_fan Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Its a back-handed insult. Because Shobby wouldn't even hesitate to go as far as throw a beamer to the head if he got spanked. Lies Indian's can only dream of producing a bowler with pace of Akhtar.

Asim Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 He destroyed every top batting lineup of world with 'pace' factor alone...
Ultimate_Game Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Akhtar definitely was a pretty good bowler and better than any pak bowler playing at the moment. But IMO he would've struggled these days coz of 2 new balls as reverse swing would be taken out of the equation. f.b.m and Unstable Joe 2

FYI, RP Singh had elbow hyper extension as well. He was never caught chucking. Ian Bishop did a nice little video on it. Google is your friend. Rightarmfast 1

Your players seem to have these 1 or 2 moments which seem to give them a life go ahead post Afridi's Kanpur knock or Kamran Akmal's Karachi knock next...sure as Indians we will be upset but then think this next.... what if these guys hadn't played those knocks??? Would they have had such long careers? Would that have benefited pak cricket? do some soul searching and comeback Edited June 9, 2017 by maniac speedster, Adi_91, sandeep and 3 others 6

sandeep Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Have you ever accept what is against you? Havent seen more delusional nation than yours So apparently my opinion is representative of a billion people. And the same exact question can be asked if you on this issue. Do you think Chuckthar would be allowed to bowl in today's more restrictive ICC environment? I'm not so sure he would.
