Waqar's Influence On Bowlers

Re: Waqar’s Influence On Bowlers

@Antumul_alona

One reason is that neither Aamir or Gul, or other thus far have the pace of Waqar when he was in his prime. His in swinging yorker that would reverse swing-in very late, needed a lot of pace and accuracy…Wasim was a master on his own with a God gifted talent and it will take Aamir a long time to mimic his style thoroughly, may be never 100%..

Welcome back!!! It is not all just about pace. Aamir infact has been clocked around 90 to 91mph in this series. Reverse Swing is also about bowling action

@Iconoclast

I think he is having a positive influence on bowling, but i dont know why none of them have developed the swinging yorker that was 2W’s trademark.

You need a slingy or whippy (Waqar, Imran) action to be able to bowl reverse swing. Waqar was the best exponent of reverse swing. Even Wasim’s inswinging yorkers did not deviate as much as Waqar or Imran’s. Imran’s in-dipper was lethal too
