Question

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080516093411AAaTOfJ&r=w

to all,

let me just say one thing first of all i posted this before his dismal performance but what i also sed was hopefully he can maintain his form, but without a doubt i agree on the consistency factor but also shoaib can still be the player he was in his prime the speed is there like u sed consistency is needed on top of that he shud remove and deal with all the pressure and stress off the pitch. very unpredictable see when u least expected it he made a memorable comeback but when u were expecting him to do well he didnt its a very tough phychologival thing, and basically jayasuriya took the upper hand and took advantage of akhtarz phycological weakness this also plays a big role in sport.

on the otherhand he is the best fast bowler there is, was and ever will be, he lacks a few qualities and techniques which prevent him from becoming one of the greatest bowlers ever but he has made history anywa

Answer 1

Of course Brother I fully agree with you. Mr Akhtar of Rawalpindi is the best fast bowler now. He has clocked the fastest speed. He should concentrate on bowling inswinging yorkers and should be used in short but deadly spells.

Answer 2

He was never the best fast bowler and he still isn't the best fast bowler.

The best fast bowler right now is Brett Lee or Flintoff(if he's fit).

He isn't even a bowler actually.His bowling action is wrong.

I admire great p**i cricketers like Wasim,Waqar,Inzy etc.

No, Shoaib is not like them.He throws.

Brett Lee is the real deal.

Answer 3

may be he chucks but after all it may b one of his tricks but he was given permission by ICC.. so v shud not interfere in tht.  and to say abt this performance no one can match him wen he is at his best, i from india but i like Cricket most and akhthar being p**i its not to degrade his CLASS performances.......Akthar can  bowl all out all gr8 batsmans ....... wen he is at peak.....

Answer 4

Without any doubt Shoaib Akhtar is the best fast bowler in the world, single handedly he can destroy the batting order of the opponents. Sometimes he is not consistent but always deadly.

Answer 5

Best Fast Bowler in the world at the moment is Dale Steyn of South Africa. Akhtar and his chuck action are both way overblown, Lee has been better than him for years.

Answer 6

He got hammered by Jayasuriya & u are telling its a phycological thing. LOL

Answer 7

Yes, Montitude is right. I don't think fair minded cricket followers could give any thought to Shaoib's achievements because of his drug taking & behavioural problems.Lee is the one now.

Answer 8

India will always remember Shoaib "Rawalpindi Express" Akhtar of Pakistan. Shoaib Akhtar is the best & will always have his yorker scars on any batsman. Shoaib Akhtar is the best & he will always the best bowler of the 20th-21st century.

Answer 9

Shoaib Akhtar is the  fast bowler in the world & he is never serious about his carrer and always break rules.

So,only bret lee is the best fast bowler in the world and is nice in nature.
