[VIDEO] Guess the speed of this Waqar Younis delivery?

[Maher96]

Most likely high 140’s. Just amazing how effortlessly Waqar would deliver those balls.

 

[MesonK]

could be anywhere between 145-148 kph

On a side note, am I the only one that noticed how similar the SA & Pak players jerseys were?

This is a very sensitive topic for me, as i even today i cant stand two teams wearing identical colors. Happens mostly when Pak, SA & Bangla are playing. They might as well wear whites which will be more pleasing to the eye.

It doesn’t look too fast. Probably early 90s.

The fast delivery I have ever seen (regardless of the speed gun reading, if any) was the yorker Akhtar bowled to Fleming in the 1999 World Cup semifinal.

I have a hard time believing that it didn’t break the 100 mph barrier.

It was 148 km/hr, that Akhtar yorker to Flemming in the 1999 WC

I highly doubt so. Must be an erroneous read. That looked at least 2-3 miles faster than the delivery he bowled to Nick Knight in 2003.

Peak Waqar was a destructive force of nature. So wish we had a bowler like that now.
