Oh man what an awesome performance, doesn’t matter who the opposition is, one of the best displays of fast bowling I have seen in a long time.

2

it reminds me of Waqar Younis,,
He took four wickets in an over, twice I guess.. :)..

but no doubt today fearsome display is nothing less than Waqar...

3

Amazing thing was that the conditions never suited Sami's bowling, he was bowling straight & fast.

4

What’s up with the title ? :konfused:

Sami is a world class bowler, no doubt about it. Today’s display was awesome. He needs to keep up his fitness and he will break many records in years to come. The guy is just 21.

does any one know what speed he bowled at last night?

His fastest speed was 152KPH, but the wickets he took weren't "too fast", all his 5 wickets came in bowling @ lower 140KPHs.

7

why isnt he named "Karachi Express"? He may not be the fastest in the world, but he is still faster than "Chennai Express" (Srinath) and other indian expresses.

8

How dare you? :mad:
The name is already taken. :nahnah:

9

Karachi Xpress… I want to face ur bowling lets have some Guppies cricket tournament…SO far i am yet to meet a Karachi guy who is faster than my nephew. (he is only 12)

10

LOL
Then lets just call him “Karachi Express Jr” :slight_smile:

11

thats very low of u nikema :mad:

Sami is for sure the fastest bowler from Karachi. The second fastest would be Salim Jaffer aka choowara :hehe:

12

oh really …Somehow i always thought that sami was from Shakoupoura and moved to Karachi for cricket…but my challange was for the other KarachiXpress, the one at GS. and i was talking about poeple i have played cricket with or i have seen them play cricket.

13

Come one we can think of a more original nickname for our new star bowler. Simply sticking Express onto the guys name is a unoriginal Indian style tactic....
Sami and Shoiab togeather could give us a repeat of the 2 W's of the early 90's. I can't wait to see Sami bowl against the better teams, to think he is this good at his age,,, amazing.

14

how bout mohajir express. lets face it, we are not to well known for our fast bowling so now that we have a "bretheren" who can bowl fast, why not just run with it.

15

^^ I would love to call him Pakistan express than any reginional stamp over him.

You wouldnt want to bring such names into cricket.. This will start racial war.. Similarly you wouldnt want to see Punjabi Express or Sindhi Express and etc.. RawalPindi Express, Borewala Express come from city names and are offensive, I think.

Samissile

Man , :rotfl:

Bring it on bholay! :jhanda:

Give me 1 year and you will see the real Karachi Xpress.

display of great fast bowling.........so bad that i cud not see it since i was in vegas for the long weekend.... but i can imagine the sensation.... this bowling spelllll reminded me of waqar of early 90s....but waqar used to do it on a regular basis... i hope sami will stay fit and inshallah he will also do it on regular basis.......these are the magical spells, which pakis fast bowlers have been producing for last 15 yrs, that create frustation among indians as their fast bowlers are not capable of producing even half of something like this......well someone will be sleepless after seeing that spelllll...
