Come on, I saw both of them
1) One was a loopy perfect delivery, enticing the batsman yet controlled. Dipping on the batsman. The best batsman in the world, the bowler killer on strike. He wields his weapon like a scythe, ready to destroy careers and ego. He licks his lips in anticipation, do I hit this 10 rows back or 20? Then the ball grips, he thinks, no worries, I still have it. Then the turn comes. This is the tricky part. Too much and it will miss the stumps. too little and it will hit AB's bat square on. The turn is just right. AB stumbles, losing his poise. He hears the death rattle and his heart sinks. With him is gone any hopes South Africa had of winning. The best batsman in the world has been defeated. AB shakes his head, admiring the delivery and the handsome genius who produced it. Some deliveries can only be admired, never faced. You might be the best in the world but if a spitting cobra strikes you, you will still die. Just replace spitting cobra with a chubby Mishra and spitting venom with a cricket ball and biting with bowling and you will understand what I mean
2) And the other one was by a Pakistani bowler
Enough said. Any neutral fan who is from Kolkata or Delhi can see that what I said is correct.
ANY neutral fan can see that AB shakes his head not because of how good the delivery was but because he got out to such a rubbish ball. Yasir wins by miles.
