Waqar Younis 5 For 52 at The Oval | Very Fast | Best Swing Bowling | Pak vs Eng | 1992

[@sagarkoduri]

Such a thing of beauty to watch. Such a pity, the stress fracture. I watched this as a boy in India, and couldn't believe my eyes. The smoothness, the pace, the swing and pride of it. Legend.

[@rfz2472]

this is after the first stress fracture.

[@45ginola]

His run up and action is the greatest ever to this day next to Michael Holding's

[@tepid1903]

I second that !

[@deepchatterjee3701]

He was better bowler then holding in his prime infact one of the greatest

[@danyalparacha1761]

​@@deepchatterjee3701 his prime record is unbelievable

[@deepchatterjee3701]

@@danyalparacha1761 yep that’s what I also mean still if you see his odi record he has the maximum number of 5 wicket haul in odi as fast bowler

[@brajeshsingh2391]

had a smooth run up but the thing that distinguished him was the late swing. See many deliveries how late they swinged. I have not seen many or rather any bowler swing it that late. How he did it was a surprise. That is the reason why the accusations of "bowl tampering" began to surface when Waqar Younis started swinging it so late.

[@sajadmohammed4368]

Wasim and waqar combo was the most devastating in test history. Swing, Genuine pace, quality, even on dead surfaces

[@sajadmohammed4368]

@@harrykumar7795 not in my opinion. Wasim waqar imran were quality in all conditions

[@Warlock786]

What so many people don't understand is what a fine batting line up England had in the 90's. Alec Stewart, Mike Atherton, Graham Gooch and David Gower is wonderful batsman, and Waqar ran through them like a hot knife through butter. Extreme pace.

[@cricketlovers6908]

Plus Gream Hick and Rabin Smith.

[@wonderwalls3565]

Alec Stewart and Atherton were wonderful batsman? both of them were average Batsman.

[@Warlock786]

@wonderwall S Alec Stewart is one of the finest openers England ever produced. He averages 40 as an opener in bowling friendly conditions. Most Subcontinent openers average the same or in early 40's with the exception of Gavaskar.

[@wonderwalls3565]

​@@Warlock786 ever produced? do you know what ever produced mean?. His average is less than 40. Do you know what an average of 40 means in a test match? It means 20 runs per innings. this is not considered best through any specs. Also why did you compare ones home ground stats with other batsmen away stats?

[@Warlock786]

@wonderwall S you clearly haven't seen many matches that took place in the 90's' nor do you seem to know the role of an opener. Opener is the hardest position to play is often times openers have the lowest averages. That coupled with batting in bowling friendly conditions against the greatest bowlers who ever lived. These were not Indian pitches that give almost no help to fast bowlers. There were finer bowlers who peaked in the 90's than at any point in history.

[@RedDiamondXYZ]

My fav bowler. Waqar Younis. 😍😍

[@talhanaeem4364]

Greatest strike bowler ever !!

[@nevillehb]

Waqar’s magic is also complimented by Richie Benaud ,Geoffrey Boycott, Dickie Bird and David Shepherd. Super classy commentary and umpiring.

[@riazahmad2307]

He was the greatest of all times if lived with the same vigour without shoulder injury...

[@zeeshanrana1473]

Now everyone who has been fortunate enough to have seen this guy in his prime. You will all relate to his genius talent and speed. People talk of the Shoaibs Lees and Stayens. This guy on song was express and absolutely fast back in 92. Even though he already had a stress fracture of his back. To me if they had used speed guns then this demon was clocking 97 98 99 or even 100 mph then

[@psychm4787]

Absolutely spot on with your comment 💯👏👏👏👏👏

[@arslaanpasha3334]

Agreed. He was easily above 150kph before 1992

[@54dermot]

I totally agree with this - in the early 90s his pace was extreme - what was all the more remarkable was he was generally bowling a full length, which usually looks slower than short pitched bowling. Don't think he got the credit for that which he deserved. In England at least, commentators at the time were mostly old England players wedded to the idea that Jeff Thompson was the fastest ever (perhaps because they had faced him) and reluctant to admit that a Pakistan bowler could be faster. Too bad speed guns were not around then

[@codyjackson5664]

I don't think it was more than about 93 mph even at his quickest. But he swung it very late at that pace which is very rare. And what I like is that his stock swing to both lefties and righties was the inswinger. The variation which I suspect was just a natural variation rather than anything the bowler did just held its line. That's a more effective combination than swinging it both ways because the batsman can't pick anything from the seam position. Everything looks like an inswinger so you always have to play at it. The ones that hold their line will induce the nick and the inswingers can bowl you or catch you in front. He also had an offcutter that cut in rather than swung in which was hard to pick(not a slower offspinner, this came out at a brisk fast medium pace) and a very good straight bouncer. On a day when he's in rhythm, there's just no answer. Sobers said that if he faced Younis, he'd bat well out of his crease trying to nullify the swing. It would have been an interesting experiment

[@chasey2327]

late swing at pace - devastating. made top batsmen look like pub team players with no clue. what a bowler.

[@flash-uj6ly]

Waqar Younis + Wasim Akram = Magicians! Curtly Ambrose + Courtney Walsh = beasts!

[@bhaskarvaithinathan7304]

Waqar and Wasim missed out on many wickets as there was no DRS those days. Had DRS been available, they would have picked up many more wickets

[@jamsheadaziz3999]

And not forgetting some blatant bias from English umpires.

Botham, and the south african Alan lamb along with the biased English press called it ball tampering. Yet when jimmy Anderson bowls and take wickets it's called reverse swing.

[@mohammedjamil2277]

Waqar did tamper with the ball a known fact. He was called a cheat by Mohammed Asif the best new ball bowler Pakistan produced up until now. Waqar used bottle tops used his nails scratching the ball transferring the weight of the ball helping it swing like a boomerang 🪃.

[@psychm4787]

@@mohammedjamil2277really so Asif said that and you believe that 🤣🤣🤣 use your brain safraz nawaz learnt it first / he then passed it on to Imran Khan who then passed it on to the 2 W’s !! Even Boycott said it’s an art along with many professional players but Asif said that he’s a cheater and you absolutely believe that ludicrous comment !! So enlighten us all did Waqar and Wasim carry bottle tops in there pockets ? With all the crowd watching cameras all around the world telecasting the match surely would have picked it up right ? Next time don’t go by what jealous pakis say about each other it’s a common practice in Pakistan’s team politics
