When one sees this warhorse gallop down the track, one wonders if he ever thought about the 100 meters dash before taking up cricket. There are various languages in this world, but for Shoaib Akhtar, in the game of cricket, there is only one language: SPEED. He talks that language with the fury of a King who does not want to be Second Best! Bowling fast is simply his Menu for breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, and that’s what he intends to do. Time is a factor that is for the connoisseurs.
His bowling can be compared to Bombardment in Physics. The term means directing a stream of high speed particles at an object. Akhtar does precisely that, he hurls the ball at great speeds making the distance of 22 yards a touch too short for the batsman to recover. By the time the batsman tries to focus on the ball, he is walking back to the pavilion, head hung in the air.
He made his Test debut in the second test of the season of 1997-98 at his Home Ground against the WI. (This, incidentally, has earned him a name of Rawalpindi Express). If Imran founded Wasim Akram as the Great Bowler that he is, one can be fair to say that it was Wasim Akram who continued the tradition of nurturing this Pace Man!
And when you see him hurl the ball, you wonder if he ever thought about JAVELIN THROWING before taking up cricket. He is a friggin chucker who is getting away with murder. Stupid ICC.
if shoiab is a chucker so is murali...and since thats opening a can of worms...LOL...
and shoaib aint a chucker...its been proven...and re-proven....why is every oen after pakistani bowlers...especially all these indians...goin on n on bout shaoib ebing a chucker...wtf...ill tell u wat...harbajan dirty sikh boy is a chucker...sorry if this is gettin a outta order...but it pisses me off when people go on bout shoiab being a chucker altho he's been cleared...and no 1 sayin jack bout murali...i guess the indians are jus jelous that even our shahid afridi's are able to bowl at paces of 129 clicks an hour! (faster than quite a few of zaheer, pathan and rp singhs deliveries)
o well...at the end of the say the icc says shoabs not a chucker so he aint!
Once again, everybody watch this video and be quiet forever. Shoaib’s arm is anatomically fked up and that gives the impression of him chicking. His elbow is hyperextensible i.e. when he puts an effort, his elbow stretches beyond what is the normal limit for most people.
Blind people arent allowed to drive only because they can kill other people on the road. Resricting someone from playing a game because of a birth defect goes against any human rights charter ever chartered.
