[EliteCynical]

I guess all are already answered. A couple of questions from me!

Which former west indian pacer came to see the visiting Englishmen at Barbados nets in 1994, well after he had retired, in a drunk state, in canvas shoes and bowled a spell to Graham Thorpe at searing pace making him say that was the fastest spell he faced on tour?

 

[EliteCynical]

2. Which bowler (cannot name the country else would be obvious) who had modelled his action exactly on Waqar Younis, after taking a five-fer, was asked whether Waqar was his inspiration. To this, he responded "Who Waqar?" "Oh, the guy who bowls like me?"

Gough?

 

[EliteCynical]

Id X and Y

Frank Worrell Trophy 1989. X, encountered Y in the dressing room and said

"You, Y ?!?! I kill you, mun! I bowl at you, I kill you! I split you in two!"

To this Y, calmly responded

"You couldn't even get Merv Hughes out. You'd have no chance against me, mate!"

 

[EliteCynical]

Gough?

Nope. Gough did have somewhat Waqarish action but this guy was a carbon copy!

 

[BaankeJi]

13 cannot be Malinga - right?
He does not have round arm action. His action is slingy.
Just my opinion.

 

[ElIdolo]

Nope. Gough did have somewhat Waqarish action but this guy was a carbon copy!

Andrew Caddick?

 

[EliteCynical]

Andrew Caddick?

No. Not Caddick. Wrong country

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Nope. Gough did have somewhat Waqarish action but this guy was a carbon copy!

Dude, there's only been one carbon copy and that's Shoaib.

 

[EliteCynical]

Dude, there's only been one carbon copy and that's Shoaib.

That means you haven't seen enough I'm afraid!
