Agreed

Do you know the future? Only his strike rate is amazing, and district from other bowlers

No he didn't. He was never 150kph. Tops he bowled was around 140kph. I can't find a single video of him where the speed ball radar showed 150kph. Even this video has him around the 130kph marl.

​@@pacus123 Watch his early matches

@@user-xs7gr3br4zAgreed , early days he was express

@@pacus123 lol his bowl to brian lara was 160 kmh lol

Wasim Akram was better

​@bilalqamar9174 yes but don't forget the ball doctoring the use of bottle tops heavy scratching of the ball digging fingernails into the seam it does help to swing the ball like a boomerang 🪃 😉

@@mohammedjamil2277 Your claim has been debunked several times. A lot of highlight and live videos of matches were found and ball was never seen being tampered with.

@mclogg2463 Imran Khan admitted to it that means he did it frequently and so did Waqar Younis. Mohammed Asif called him out as a cheat who didn't know how to bowl with the new ball but only in the latter part of his career he learned the art legitimately. Admit it Waqar and Imran cheated with the ball Imran admitted this on national television and was called out for this. When pressed by Marcus on the programme entitled the devil's advocate he asked Imran would you have taken as many wickets if you did not tamper with the ball Imran paused and gave a less than convincing answer of yes!

@mclogg2463 Aqib Javed was caught on national television 📺 on there 1992 tour of England when late Richie Benaud shouted out 'cor blimey steady on!' I remember watching it. At that time I was a blind patriot follower who was he'll bent on covering up there flaws and wrongdoings but for how long? It is no wonder under Waqar Younis the coach Pakistan as not produced a single fast bowler who can swing it like Akram or Younis don't come with the excuse they are less talented I call bullshit

Prime Waqar( 1990-1995) was even more devastating ,striking at 38 and averaging 21 with the ball

Wasim Akram was better

Exactly, Many say he was not as great as Wasim, agree that Wasim was the greatest left arm pace bowler and was a magician, however I doubt it whether there will be any bowler who would perform the way Waqar did during his peak period (this is even after his stress facture in his back which cost him the 1992 world cup and had to cut down on pace) from 1990 to 1994. During these 5 years he was phenomenal. Unfortunately injuries kept on pilling on, Back, shoulder, arm and hamstring injuries meant that he had to take long breaks from international cricket and lost pace considerably and also had to alter his action, with all that he lost momentum, and was never the same bowler agian. Still with all those issues he remained a premier fast bowler in the world untill his retirement. If he could have continued without so many injuries, he would have been hailed as the greatest fast bowler in test history...

I don't think he was ever that quick. Maybe 145kph tops. What he had was CRAZY swing. The best reverse swing bowler ever.

At his peak he used to bowl 150+ KPH regularly and with his lethal swing those were completely unplayable. He bowled 140+ speed during his last tournament of 2003 WC@@pacus123. His highest speed may be 156/157 KPH.

I m also taofeeque ahmad .aap kaha se ho.

Wasim Akram was better

Wasim Akram was better

​​@@bilalqamar9174 Nobody is comparing, you piece of a shit Wasim Akram was Sultan of Swing with pace as Waqar was a swing & seam fast bowler with extreme pace now shut up because they both were King of there craftsmen known as 2 W's. Not only best of there era but of many era's which have gone through. They were simply unplayable.

@@taimurmalik9779 this is the Internet. Please continue wasting your time replying to useless comments here on KZfaq.

Wasim akram just medium fast but waqar is so dangerous

And lbws bhi

Shoaib Akhtar replaced him. Waqar lost his pace.

Right bro

The only player who got blank cheques for playing county cricket

@@soyabkhan875 wow really?? That's a big claim! Howz that?

@@juneday130 old news papers.

Because speed guns are a modern gadget. Waqar’s peak pace wise would be 1989-1994. He was def above 150k. Check out interviews of Alec Stewart etc.

Tu bana le phir. Mehnat kar le tu bhi haraamkhor.

He took many of important wickets in last days of his career though

people can figure it out all they want but how to play those "figured out" shots and when to play them is another story
