Ferocious Battle Between Justin Langer & Shoaib Akhtar | Reaction

[@at1f_s]

Shoaib Akhtar is an absolute legend and famously known as RAWALPINDI EXPRESS. He's also one of the most feared bowler ever!!

[@tonyroy8123]

@Asher Hendrix Can you read about Geography in your bored moments? Might get some knowledge.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

He had to bowl as fast as he could in Rawalpindi. It's the slowest track in the Solar System. I've heard rumours that there's a slower one on Mars, but that's because there's no soil there. Or air. Or gravity. Or people. When he was finally able to bowl on normal pitches, he found he could achieve hyperspace just short of length.

[@Joshua-jj4xn]

Even as an Australian I couldn't help but enjoy watching Shohib Akhtar bowl. Loved his bowling action and aggression.

[@Xr-pd2oi]

10:39 "What's the bowler angry about?".. Well fast bowlers only come in angry.

[@bartsimpson7037]

Akhtar isn't angry he's simply trying to intimidate JL. He's explaining to him who was bowling the ball that just hit him, this is best done right up close.

[@hamza3065]

There is another where Akhtar makes Ponting look clueless with his pace. Akhtar still holds the record for bowling the fastest at 100 miles per hour.

[@deepakgupta-ng2bb]

Did u know... Shoaib akhtar avg. In Australia is about 42 something

[@waynec3563]

Is that the one where Akhtar bowls a 10 ball over and Ponting scores 197?

[@hamza3065]

@@waynec3563 yes the same game. Cricket Austarlia uploaded that video with Ponting saying it was the toughest spell he faced and Justin Langer at the other end didn't want to face him. Ponting did go on to score a mammoth Tom, which shows how strong he was mentally and technically. I absolutely love Ponting but I love Akhtar too.

[@waynec3563]

@@hamza3065 I believe he said it was the fastest spell he'd faced.

[@NaveenKumar-ee3kf]

Ponting looked clueless? Dude, you couldn't make any less sense, could you? Yes, Akhtar was at his peak of his powers back then and he was bowling at the fastest pitch in the world but you keep forgetting that he was bowling to the best batsman of fast bowling on the planet. Akhtar sure did hurry Ponting a couple of times in that spell but to say Ponting looked clueless will be doing him a huge disservice. The thing that made Ponting stand out from any other batsman was that he never took a backward step and thrived in a challenge. Ponting ended up playing a couple of swashbuckling pull shots off Akhtar that spoke volumes of the greatness of the man. This was fire against fire but in the end, it was Ponting who came out on top!

[@hamza3065]

Akhtar was a gangster on the field, and I'm from his city Rawalpindi, he is popularly known as the RAWALPINDI EXPRESS. Australia was really those times and the only team that troubled them in their own backyard was Pakistan. They just couldn't face our pace bowlers Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar.

[@garthrogers2269]

I have just stumbled across both your channels. Love the enthusiasm, especially for cricket. I would like to suggest the Underarm Bowling Incident of 1981 between Australia & New Zealand. Possibly the most controversial incident in international ODI cricket.

[@Driskyle]

Yes! That was so controversial, would love to see them react to that

[@Driskyle]

Loved this reaction. When Justin Langer signalled the No Ball by extending his arm out to the side, just to remind the bowler that he’d bowled a No-Ball. Priceless 😄 Langer was such a fighter, you need that mentality to open the innings. Also let’s not forget the pace of Akhtar, I think he clocked over 100mph a few times in his career. Such an exciting bowler to watch.

[@dc7916]

Thanks guys for putting up my suggestion and you pronounced my name perfectly ;) You proved that you are true JL fans!! Makes it so much fun to watch when genuine fans react to their guy on the ground!! 😄

[@hamza3065]

The 8 minute debate was a good one, though a little long. My take is that sometimes even the best of players aren't that good communicators and can't be coaches. In cricket also we have second or third tier players becoming coaches and they are successful, it's rare and lucky to have someone like JL

[@vikasbhargava5653]

Absolutely. The best players may not be the best coaches r for that matter the best captains. And unlike Baseball the captain is very important in the game of cricket on the field.

[@NikhileshSurve7428]

10:38 Well it's basically a Fast Bowler thing. They take such a long run up, raising body temperature & heart beats to end up with a shot being hit or a close call or anything short of a Wicket, that naturally annoys them a bit, so they tend to be quite aggressive just by nature & sledging becomes a part of it.

[@farooqdar193]

JL told akhtar you will be tired in couple of overs and then I will be incharge. Akhtar hits JL on hand and makes fun of him(hurting hand gesture) when he balls the next ball. And then ball after that JL gets back at akhtar by signaling no ball and telling akhtar to get back to his spot on the 4th ball. Lovely reaction again thanks guys 🙏🙂

I loved when he was bowling in the 99 world cup against nz and bowling close to 100mph, and the pakistani fielders kept misfielding and dropping catches, and he got fed up and ran in and bowled this ridiculously quick yorker from around the wicket at Stephen Fleming - was just too quick and got bowled..

[@halfcentaur9836]

They just cut the video short, didn't show all 3 of the remaining deliveries. Akhtar was just trying to intimidate, as fast bowlers do. He doesn't really have the personality for it though, he's much better at bowling than acting scary.

See the video clip of Justin Langer hit on the head by Makhaya Ntini at Centurian (Pretoria) in Langer's hundredth test. Langer was prepared to come back and bat again as last man when Australia were nine down second innings. But the batsmen got the runs. Ponting said that if a wicket had fallen he would not have allowed Langer to bat which would have meant Australia would have lost the test.

In response to your question as to what the bowler is upset about,it's simple,he's a fast bowler, they are born pissed off with the world! It's why they're quick!

[@WTBob2005]

There is nothing better in cricket than a fast bowler bowling genuine pace, and the batsman not taking a backwards step at all. The crowds love it, and get right behind the bowler, chanting him in, and he lets it fly. And the batsman needs genuine courage to get in behind it to play it. It’s one the best aspects of cricket that just isn’t found in baseball. A pitcher can pitch inside, but he can’t deliberately aim at the body and intimidate the batter. Once is a walk, the second is probably an ejection. A good fast bowler can bowl 6 uncomfortable deliveries in a row - have a rest and bowl six more.

[@jamesmorgan4121]

If you want to see the toughest batsman in cricket take a look at this battle between Steve Waugh and Curtly Ambrose. It was on a green seaming wicket and Ambrose was tearing Australia apart until Waugh came in and basically said I've had enough of this and won't back down. Justin Langer was a young 21 year old watching this in the change room and was late quoted as saying. "....watching this the hair was standing up on the back of my neck and I said you're crazy (Steve Waugh) but if you're willing to stand up to Ambrose in these conditions, I'll go to war with you". Watching thus is what made JL the tough batsman he was. You have to react to it you will love it. BTW Australia lost this test but went on to win the next with Steve Waugh getting 200 not out and it was the first time the West Indies were beaten at home for 30 years. Steve Waughs stand here was what set up the win in the next test because he let them know that we aren't backing down anymore. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bITQqKKaeJx4b80

[@greeniemelb]

Before JL became coach of Australia he was the coach of the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League. This is the Australian T20 domestic league which allows each team to play some overseas players. Whilst the other teams went for big name batsmen and bowlers, JL would go for lesser known players who met his standards of wanting to play for his team and would embrace the standard of team first and last and not the size of their paychecks. The Perth Scorchers are the most successful of all the teams in the competition under JL's coaching despite every year the experts discounting their chances.

I think the channel "Cricket for Americans" is as much as "Baseball for cricket playing nations". It is so interesting and intriguing (I wouldn't use fascinating because the two are related is known) to learn about baseball and if the games are similar and different in the way that they may be cousins the nuances of playing and coaching and the mindset seems to be so related. I had written earlier that discussions are fun and I think one of the reasons is that it is becoming a fair exchange of both sides learning and comparing the two games so similar yet so different.

[@gzeuskraiste]

If you want to know what JL is about, have a look at a video of his debut Test where he made a half century against the West Indies when they were the best, with a fearsome pace attack of Ambrose, Bishop, Walsh and Benjamin that were battering the Aussies and the rest of the world at the time

[@rajeshr77]

Test cricket is all about hanging in there as long as you can and score some runs. The strike rate does nt matter as you got lot of time to play unlike T20s or ODIs. JL was such a customer who is good in hanging around and not loosing your wicket against tough bowling. He was an accumulator of runs facing touch challenges. And not to forget consistent fast pace bowling from the Rawalpindi Express! He comes second in my favourite Pakistan bowler. First one is obviously the Sultan of Swing!

[@iqbalsheikh647]

Shoaib Akhtar was a fearsome monster for every batsman.

[@sandeepthomas8663]

As long as the batsman offers a shot/stroke against a ball, the bowler has a chance of getting the wicket. Langer was an opening batsman for the Aussies and Shoaib a very fast swing bowler. So Shoaib's objective is to get a wicket while the shine of the ball gives him the advantage while Langer's objective is to hold on as long as he can and take the shine off the ball so that it will swing less as it will give more talented batsmen down the order like Ponting better odds Shoaib is frustrated that Langer is not offering shots to his good balls while Langer is trying to get the bowler off his rhythm by taunting him about how he can read that bouncer. All in all, this is what Test cricket is all about, 3d chess where the players are trying to take the mental upper hand.

[@adityajoies]

Back in the day, Shoaib Akhtar bowling Sachin was delightful to watch. Sachin is kind of a player who you don't wanna sledge him because he is too much of a nice guy.

Raizo rain look at this way , speed guns came in around 1984 in Australia anyway where each ball speed was shown on tv. Thommo bowled a 160 kph ball, you see it on youtube. This was 8 years and a shoulder reconstruction after his best. Shoabs was 161.7, a bit above. But the first ever test was done in 1975 by a University in W.A that scientifically measured Thommo at 161.00 kph during an afternoons spell in a test match against england. What are the odds that the only time he was measured happened to coincide with the fastest ball he ever bowled? Minuscule, this was just an average spell for the guy 160, his hottest he would have been 165 minimum.
