Name two professional cricketers who have identical bowling actions

[yadunoe]

i always thought razzaq and flintoff action looked pretty similiar

 

[LethalSami]

^^Nah

Mohammad Zahid, Flintoff, Walsh, Ambrose and Rion King all had very similar actions.......that typical high-arm West Indian action.

 

[imshally81]

Wasim and Amir? How so? Amir's action is more smooth and complete compared to Akram's quick motion.

I am waiting for this post

 

[Mobashir]

Young aussie bowlers Paris and Starc have an 100% indentical action!

 

[UmarMalik]

What do you guys think about Junaid Khan & Mohammad Amir?

I think they have exactly the same action, pace is similar as well.. Amir beats Junaid with his line and length + variations

 

[Nothing matters]

^ Are u serious? Not even one bit

 

[Zaz]

Irfan pathan and Wasim Akram

 

[LegCutter]

What do you guys think about Junaid Khan & Mohammad Amir?

I think they have exactly the same action, pace is similar as well.. Amir beats Junaid with his line and length + variations

Harbajhan and Shoaib Akhtar might have more similar action than Junaid-Amir.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Early shoaib was very similar to Waqar.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Shane Warne and Imran Farhat. I remember the commentators poking fun at Warne during Pakistan's last tour.

 

[Madplayer]

Steve Harmisson and jason gillespie?

 

[jazbati]

WHAT? LOL @ some of you guys comparing the actions. Some horrible comparisons to be honest. Harmison and Gillespie? Abdul Razzaq and Flintoff? lol

Notice the bowling action of new Kiwi's such as: Rob Nicol, Guptill, Ronnie Hira .. All are ditto copy of Vettori.

Ahmad Shahzad and Shahid Afridi are also quite similar.

Re: Name two players who have identical bowling action

Milne is actually a dead ringer for Bond now. Even the hairstyle. Bowled well today with no support. His action is worrying me though. It's okay to want to be as good as Bond but to copy his intense action. I hope he becomes almost as good as Bond without the assorted injuries.

 

[Mamoon]

Hadlee and Caddick.

 

[Mamoon]

and

Trott and Ponting as well.

Anyone with similar runups? Mitchell Johnson's run up is similar to Zaheer Khan.

 

[Mamoon]

^ Irfan and Wasim do not have identical actions at all.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

^ Irfan and Wasim do not have identical actions at all.

Shoaib Akhtar and Waqar Younis not Malik

 

[hailian]

[aloo paratha]

Man I'm really wondering of some people on PP even have eyes. Some of the names people are listing are nothing alike...

 

[dravidthewall]

ADAM ZAMPA and SHANE WARNRE

 

[DuckMaster]

I think Pakistani U19 bowler Muhammad Musa's run-up is very similar to Tim Southee's but he is different once in the bowling stride.

... Jasprit Bumrah & Usain Bolt

 

[Mamoon]

Show this thread to Specsavers. They can make good money here.

 

[Protea Fan]

Dale steyn and Tom Curran

 

[Cricketfan no 1]

Glen McGrath and Kyle Jarvis
Umar gul and Imran khan junior

 

[carnish]

The three most similar off the top of my mind are

Paul Harris and Ray Price
Gavin Larsen and Scott Styria
Rajesh Chauhan and Arshad Khan

I think Paul Reiffel and Fanie De Villers were quite similar too...

Of course someone did mention it.. Brian McMillan and Ian Botham.. guess Craig McMillan was similar too..


There was also many similarities between Nathan Hauritz and Gavin Robertson

Also there were similarities between Venkatapathy Raju, Sunil Doshi and Sunil Joshi

Similarly, both Dion Nash and Lance Klusener also came close to each other

Another good comparison is the Martin Suji with Courtney Walsh

Also a lot of Bangladesh left arm spinners had similarish actions in there early test match days

 

[Bhaijaan]

Legendary off spinner Saqlain Mushtaq's bowling action was shamelessly copied by his countrymen Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafiz. They made minor changes later on but the template was completely copied from Saqlian. It is very unfair and Saqi The Great himself gave them the permission to do so.

 

[khurram39]

saqlain & shoaib malik
abdul qadir & Mushtaq ahmad

 

[Justcrazy]

Pushpakumaram and Waqar Younis.

 

[ammar_merry]

there is no shame in coping action.and also dont need permission.almost every pakistani offspinner was inspired by saqi at that time.

 

[OmarKhan99]

Chris Woakes and Malcolm Marshall

 

[Bilal7]

Saqlain, Ajmal, Hafeez, Malik and pretty much every other offie from Pakistan seem to have a similar, if not identical, bowling action. It's done us a lot of good though so keep it up.
