*RARE* Wasim Akram 5-10 of 7 Overs vs Leicestershire County Match 1993

The art of swing bowling is at its best.
This was a Semifinal between Lancashire and Leicestershire played at leicester ground of Benson & Hedges cup 1993.

We always admire batsman . Whenever someone asks regarding cricket greats every one will name Bradman,Lara, Tendulkar etc. But bowlers like wasim akram are one in generation. He is indeed the best bowler the world has seen. He is among cricket greats.

[@theexterminator5151]

He was a bowler from another planet. Was a delight to watch anytime he bowled. He stands out from the rest simply because he was special. One of a kind. Watching him bowl was like watching a great artist at work. He literally could make the ball do what he wanted to. The greatest bowler that the beautiful game of cricket has seen from the beginning. No West Indies bowler or the Australians or the English or any one could match him n none will ever match him. He was simply the BEST! The Sultan. Lucky that people like Kohli n the likes weren't there in that era of Wasim Akram creating havoc n fear on the batsmen. Even Sachin Tendulkar feared him.

I was watching this match live in London. The year was late 90's not 1993. In the post match summary, commentators Richie Benaud and RAY Illingworth Long time Chairman of selectors for ECB, confirmed and agreed that Wasim Akram naturally possessed the art of reverse swing and that non of the other Lancashire seam bowlers from the other end could swing the same ball that Wasim was bowling with from his end. The FINAL Conclusion they made was that it was the work of pure genius and that there was NO element of cheating and foul play in the havoc he created in this semi-final with the batsmen. Mark Richardson and others, please grow up and be realistic in your understanding of the game.

[@Brez6645]

Actually the caption is correct. This match was played in 1993 as, being a Lancashire fan, I went to watch it live at Grace Road. Maybe you are thinking of some other game. I agree with one thing though, Wasim was different class.

[@asadsafdar6490]

[@71poiuytrewq]

Yepp!! There is no doubt in my mind that Akram is the greatest fast bowler of all time. Ok, there are fast bowlers out there with more test wickets than him, but on his day, there was no-one more skillful and devastating than Akram. He had everything in his arsenal; He was fast, he swung the ball both ways, he had one of the best yorkers in cricket and even his bouncers were lethal. He was truly a joy to watch. My top three; 1. Akram. 2. Garner. 3 Holding.

[@thefictional1432]

A legend. I never seen a left arm fast bowler like him since he retired. People who can't bowel like him blaming him for ball tempering, what a shame. Too much jealousy all over the world against him.

[@Exiide89]

Well, his captain Mr. Imran Khan (present Prime Minister of Pakistan) on television admitted to having used, as a team including Wasim, cold drink caps for ball tampering to get reverse swing. When the BBC anchor asked him about his actions having a negative influence on his protege like Wasim, Waqar and other young players, Mr. Imran Khan didn't express any regret. Instead he said that he shouldn't have admitted to ball tampering.

Sachin Khatri abhay BC you conveniently left out the most valid point Imran made.....give the same ball to an English (or for that matter an Indian bowler) from the other end and no one would be able to swing the ball like Wasim and waqar. If Wasim’s bowling in the clip was due to ball tampering, why couldn’t any of the other Lancashire seamers do it. You’ve just proved what an absolute numpty you are!
