Kapil Dev 3 unplayable deliveries 1991 series

[Tapioca]

Funny how the best one of those three deliveries didnt fetch a wicket.

Mike Coward wrote in Sportstar that there was talk in the pressbox that only Bradman would have got out to it as no one else would have edged it. Kapil bowled Border for a duck in the next Test. They were showing the replay of the Brisbane Test dismissal when he bowled him with exactly the same ball.

Luks paee u always get multiple Orgasm whenever there is a talk about Kapil Paaji ... he is by far the best we ever had ... but still we are always obsessed with oldies .. old songs , old movies , old hero , old sports legend.. i am sure when ur kids grow up .. they wud all go gaga about Zak and his spells / swing / Lefty bunnies etc ... for them ZAK would be a legend..

I started watching serious cricket since 85-86 and had enjoyed Kapil's outing everytime, My father and uncles used to leave everything else they were doing to watch Kapil bat and bowl. I remember clearly they used to say that after the operation Kapil is not jumping high enough during the delivery and not generating enough speed. I had realize later that Kapil had a knee operation in 84 and if you look at his figures he took more then half of his wickets during that first 5-6 years of his career. I would love to watch some of his earlier days when my Dad used to say that he was lot faster before.
