http://youtu.be/No2Nz4R4HUs i just checked this video & thought that i must share this.I dont see any present bowler bowling deliveries like those.A true legend waqar(inspite being indian i like him)

I remember during an era when Waseem and Waqar used to regularly run thru sides, although most times their batters could not take advantage of that.Waqar had pace and movement also an easy action, haven't seen real good fast bowlers after the duo, Shoaib was injury prone and Zahid was express, Gul and other current bowlers not the same class although Wahab sometimes looks really good .

it was a pleasure researching and compiling that video!

I dunno about Wasim, but it was delight to watch Waqar Younis' every single delivery, even in his latter part of his career. His run-up, action, and then the trajectory of the ball, all entertaining stuff.

Waqar was a teeny bit of a minnow basher possibly. There was a good interview with in Cricinfo recently

Just to continue on Wasim, once Rahul Dravid came down to our office and someone asked him about the toughest bowler he ever faced. He said it was Wasim and he narrated the 3 deliveries he bowled to him in chennai. He said that Wasim made him look like a joker with the bat that day.

He did very well against SA, WI, England in 90s. Is he minnow basher because he was way too good against minnows?

Allow ball tampering even now, you'd see Umar Gul turn to Waqar and Junaid Khan to Wasim:hysterical:

[vayuu1]

But after the thrashing he got from a.j in 96 quaters he was not the same that's was the first time he was massacred very brutally .

[Trichromatic]

Allow ball tampering even now' date=' you'd see Umar Gul turn to Waqar and Junaid Khan to Wasim:hysterical:[/quote'] Not really.

Allow ball tampering even now' date=' you'd see Umar Gul turn to Waqar and Junaid Khan to Wasim:hysterical:[/quote'] But Wasim Akram was equally good if not better with the new ball as well.

Wasim too produced mind boggling reverse swinging deliveries, in fact he used to go round the wicket to control the outrageous swing and trouble all batsmen. Both ATGs, maybe Wasim just edges ahead.

Today on Ten Cricket I was watching Cricket Classic a match between India and Pakistan in sharjah, the same match were Sachin hit two good shots on bowling of Imran before getting out in the same over. The way Waqar Younis bowled Navjot and Kapil Dev with yorker in that match was mindblowing. Tampering or no tampering you need talent to bowl delivery like those. Hats Off.
