Is that the final of the 2002 series in Australia? Shoaib does look younger in that video.. maybe because of shorter hair.

Re: What a thunder bolt!!!

shoaib's "thunderbolt" was sheer display of power. Howerver Waqar's "thunderbolt" was power + control + judgement.

Re: What a thunder bolt!!!

unfortunately, shoaib's bowling begins and ends at speed.

Re: What a thunder bolt!!!

true…
now whether waqar intended all three things, that i donno

Re: What a thunder bolt!!!

I think whether Wacky did it intentially or not intentially but he has shown such a scene quite a few times, some people just can’t do it how much they intend so.

Conclusion: Waqar was capable of delevering such thunderbolts.

Re: What a thunder bolt!!!

any1 has the clip of the fastest delivery in history??

Re: What a thunder bolt!!!

waqar and shoaib has bowled numerous thunderbolts in their career, obviously waqar has more. It is really stupid to compare and then bash one person instead of feeling proud that both are pakistanis. I cant forget the 1990 Australiasia cup when waqar showed his true capabilty as a genuine fast bowler. Did anyone remember the ball which shoaib bowled to flemings in 1999 world cup?

Re: What a thunder bolt!!!

^ Absolutely! How can a true Pakistani cricket follower forget that delivery? :slight_smile: Here it is, enjoy! LINK

And you’re absolutely right. Waqar had his own class. Not possible to compare Shoaib to him.
