Bowling actions

Whose Bowling action is ur favorite?
Crrent bowlers: Shoaib, Lee I think Lee has a better(more rythemic and coordenated, less offort great result.) action than Shaoib.

Mine from 90’s is Waqar(every thing perfect), Donald.(effortlessness but still great rythem.)
from 80’s: Imran Khan and Richard hadlee(Lilee and hadlee had similar actions) and Holding.

I think Hadlee and Holding were best.Smoothest Action.

the ugliest bowling action has to go to mohammed sami. the guy runs up to the pitch like he is running over hot lava. if you notice carefully, he doesn't plant his foots with every step.

Imran Khan and Richard Hadlee from the 80s
Waqar and Allan Donald from the 90s
Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee from the 2000s

JIGAR action :jhanda: …all the way

what did you smoke buddy? did you ever watch Ataur Rehman? his action looked like juggling the ball just before throwing.

The Game Responds:

        *Brett Lee's action is f'ing amazing I tell ya! Ofcourse Dennis Lillee had the best bowling action ever. Really. People, That Is All.*

khairiyaat, yeh achanak kiya huaa…

Two W’s, Donald,Hadlee, and Imran Khan, :k:

paul adams (RSA).... ;)

Abdul Qadir is sort of my favourite and I am biased towards spinners....
Paul Adams comes in next.

Fast bowlers, most of the 70s west Indians were a delite to watch.

The two Ws also were good to watch.

:rotfl: :rotfl:

it should be rated one of the funniest bowling actions :hehe:

The most sexy bowling action has got to be Jeff Thompson's of Australia. Nothing beats a 30 yard run-up into a sling action.

The smoothest has got to be Wasim Akram's. He's got big hands too.

The most awkward was The Big Bird Joel Garner.

Graham Dilley of England had a nice fast bowler's action too.

Stylewise Imran’s action was a model he was awesome :k:

Aaqib Javed had a very smooth bowling action too and avery good one.

Waqar’c hositliy was the best though in the 90s

Holding was so soft with his action, thus labelled ‘whispering death’

Lillie, Holding and Imran in that order.

Wasim Bhai for sure:k:

Shoaib and Sami also :k:

other then pakis…James Anderson and in spin bowling Shoaib Malek:love:

Khan Sahib's action was the best of all. All these lili shily and others are nothing in front of Khan Sahib. Khan Sahib's action was the most hardest and one can feel the rythm when Khan Sahib is runing down the track to deliver the ball.

BTW you can check Khan Sahib's action and few highlights in his interview at www.pakistanimedia.com in the exclusive section.
