It might be shaheen right now-he bowls a killer Yorker. But in consistency of yorkers, Faheem has shown he can bowl them consistently in death overs.

Another name, I will mention is Aamer Yamin he is a champion at bowling the full,wide Yorker. The full, wide Yorker bowled by weakest today won England the game.

Who in your opinion is the best bowler of the Yorker in Pakistan?
 
Husnain have the slingy bowling action which is ideal for yorker length but he is too raw .Haris rauf seems to have best yorker in pakistan but then again he is also inexperience.
 
It seems to be a dying art.

Wasim, Shoaib and Waqar regularly bowled yorkers. This current lot rarely do.

It’s difficult to say if it’s a dying art or if bowlers simply do not bowl enough Yorkers. Because , I remember when Waqar was head coach, he was of the opinion that the Yorker is less effective in modern day cricket as batsman have come up with scoops and paddle shots. Perhaps this was to hide his bowlers inability to bowl yorkers or perhaps he meant what he said. But I’ve always thought a Yorker is a Yorker, and it is damn hard to put away when it’s on target.

one of the main reason is two new ball rule in odi cricket.It have nullify the effect of yorkers and death over bowling .forexample if hasan ali is given 40 over old ball i can bet on that he will bowl yorker with alot more control and bang on target

2 balls, 1 ball or 4 balls, the yorker is still effective.

Sadly our bowlers seem to be only bowling it rarely.
 
The margin for error on the Yorker has decreased.
Our bowlers can bowl it but batters now stand deep in the crease, so you need to get it slightly further pitched up.
With somebody like butler, you then become more susceptible to the scoop as he then has more chance of taking it on the full.
You need to be able to bowl the Yorker but u also need to be able to mix it up.
Bumrah can bowl Yorker after Yorker at will, but despite that he also bowls his one quick bouncer and one slower ball bouncer in each over
 
Wahab Riaz.

He has such a good yorker, I sometimes wonder why he doesn’t stick with it.

He needs to stop his obsession with short-pitched bowling.

Also what I said Shaheen has a beautiful yorker.
 
Sometimes I wonder if that Short bowling spell to Watson has done him more bad than good.

It did more harm obviously.

It is always the case for Pakistani senior players.

They play one good innings or take a five-wicket haul and they think they have finalised their spot in the XI.
 
I think haris rauf will be fast tracked in the side because media sources are claiming shoaib akhtar has been made cheif selector and the announcement will be made very soon.Shoaib akhtar is a fan of haris rauf and I think he will select haris rauf for the up coming tours.
 
Some good ones by Shaheen Shah Afridi and good attempts by others too I feel.

If anyone bowls a yorker to Bobby he will play it fine to third man boundary even if its pitched a few inches outside leg. Agree?
 
Currently it’s Shaheen

If he is going to bowl at the death, 80% of his deliveries should be aiming for the toes.

Bowling a yorker for the sake of a yorker is not effective. South Africa kept doing it this series and we made them pay. Modern day cricket is very different.

Watch Jasprit Bumrah.

Yorkers were and still are very effective deliveries if bowlers know what they are doing.

Probably not outside leg. His instinct then is to whip it to third man.

The fact that he’s started opening the blade and playing the yorker on off and middle with a third of the blade is obscene. Hopefully he fulfils his potential.
 
Batsmen have now by and large learnt to play yorkers well. Batsmen have now even started using the reverse paddle against 144 km/hr full blooded yorkers.
 
Haris Rauf's recent one in the County Championship was a good one

I agree. While modern day cricket has changed, so has the Yorker by varying it's lines. In LOIs the out side off Yorker seems to have become a go to delivery for not getting hit.
