Really? I have always seen express pace like 160kph always associated with both Akhtar and Lee. And maybe Shaun Tait...tooMost of the fans associate 160kph with Akhtar. Not sure why you are getting hurt here?
But I am talking about the fastest ball he bowl to Nick Knight. Dravid and Tendulkar got out on fantastic yorkers which also reverse a bit.the impact it had was there to see when dravid and tendulkar lost to him back to back
So sad, that's the only good performance he had against india. Averaged a very poor 34 against usthe impact it had was there to see when dravid and tendulkar lost to him back to back
Pretty simple. Akhtar has bowled the fastest ball (161.3 kmph) ever recorded in International Cricket. Hopefully this will not hurt you more and you will stop twisting it further.Really?

Now you are making me curious.., did we have a poll too for that or we now projecting somebody's obsession with "most of the fans" ?
Really only thing that should hurt is my face from all the cringe
good enough that it led to you guys to start rioting inside the stadium.. oh man the way Indians went crazySo sad, that's the only good performance he had against india. Averaged a very poor 34 against us
Thank god we didn't kill any foreign team players, thank god we didn't attack anyonegood enough that it led to you guys to start rioting inside the stadium.. oh man the way Indians went crazy

What is Zaheer khan or Harbhajjans average vs pak just for reference?Thank god we didn't kill any foreign team players, thank god we didn't attack anyone
They are both mediocre bowlers though, no one hypes them up.What is Zaheer khan or Harbhajjans average vs pak just for reference?
Yeah not sure why the fastest bowler ever to play the sport speed reading and peer feedback wise is associated with the 160 kph barrier. Lol. Should be Prasad. Seriously what is this post.Not sure why 160 kph is even associated with Akhtar.
I believe Lee crossed 160 kph more often than Akhtar in international cricket.
Please share Zaheer khan or Harbhajjans stats vs pak for perspective.So sad, that's the only good performance he had against india. Averaged a very poor 34 against us
Zaheer i thought was in the reckoning for being the best ever pacer produced by india behind Bumrah?They are both mediocre bowlers though, no one hypes them up.
Why, it's sad that akhtar is reduced time zaheer khan comparisons. He was a better bowler than him.Would
Please share Zaheer khan or Harbhajjans stats vs pak for perspective.
Says who though?Zaheer i thought was in the reckoning for being the best ever pacer produced by india behind Bumrah?
Zaheer had a better avg vs pak then waqar younis did vs IndiaWould
Please share Zaheer khan or Harbhajjans stats vs pak for perspective.
Akhtar after getting painta from Sachin (2003 wc) - Yar mujse bowling ni hori h ..good enough that it led to you guys to start rioting inside the stadium.. oh man the way Indians went crazy
thank god we didnt aswellThank god we didn't kill any foreign team players, thank god we didn't attack anyone
Andy Roberts has 202 wickets, that is 24 more than Akhtar and he is still rated way higher than both Lee and Starc.
If Shoaib had 78 wickets I would understand your logic but 178 is a good enough sample size.
As I said Lee avgd 31 despite playing in an ATG team , Akhtar would have been a revelation had he played under a better management.
Starc is not in express category, he bowls in low 140s now and was never consistently above 150.
Also Starc vs Akhtar is close but Id still take Akhtar just like how I would take Roberts ahead of Starc
Seriously , what even is your response ? I clearly mentioned Lee has clocked 160 kph more often than anyone . So the 160 kph barrier should be associated with Lee more than anyone else.Yeah not sure why the fastest bowler ever to play the sport speed reading and peer feedback wise is associated with the 160 kph barrier. Lol. Should be Prasad. Seriously what is this post.
No, 160 is barely crossed, the fastest delivery is 161 lol.Not sure why 160 kph is even associated with Akhtar.
I believe Lee crossed 160 kph more often than Akhtar in international cricket.
Because Akhtar has bowled the fastest ball, he is a Pakistani and Pakistan is India's arch rival. And Indians love to compare themselves with Pakistanis in every sector. From godi media to social media, everyone loves to compare themselves with Pakistan. Look at yourself for example, you hate Pakistanis from the bottom of your heart yet you have spent half of your life here on a Pakistani forum. Do you defend India with the same passion on an Australian/English forum?Let's assume Indian fans want Mayank to bowl 160 plus, why it's only about Akhtar?
Australia has 4 bowlers out of 5 who crossed 160.
Lee has most balls over 160.
Yet pakistanis can only see Akhtar here.
If a Pakistani wants Babar Azam to score 10k test runs, does that mean they obsessed with Tendulkar?
Lee's quickest ball was 161, Most probably the fastest 1 over spell ever by a bowler below..No, 160 is barely crossed, the fastest delivery is 161 lol.
Lee has more 155+ kph deliveries then Akhtar yes.
Wasim has a huge fan base in India, a lot of Indians are awwstruck by him.Lmao no "we" haven't.
I know it feels good to imagine that Indians are/were desperate for a player like a Pakistani one but you could have just said Wasim or even Waqar lol. Shoaib Akhtar seriously?
I mean I'm not surprised here. You were the same one who said "Every Indian wanted to be like Afridi" ahead of Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid, Yuvraj or Dhoni.
His average against Australia is his true color.Wasim has a huge fan base in India, a lot of Indians are awwstruck by him.
However Waqar ???
LOL don't make me laugh, hardly anyone admires Waqar, only thing that comes to mind in regards to Waqar is the epic phainty which Jadeja put on him during the world cup and his horrible 40 odd avgs vs the Indians in Tests....

It is not a presentation in front of you, it is a real world system of Indian athletic development which is on the rise. India is producing great bowlers and would continue to produce better bowlers, while you can continue living in the past.Lol mayank ruled oud. The hype of two weeks comes to an end.
Very easy to dis akhtar, but bowling pace requires alot of practice and a proper diet.
Chalo bring your 3rd bowler now
The reason is because at the time they were both playing it felt like they were dueling to see who could bowl the fastest.Not sure why 160 kph is even associated with Akhtar.
I believe Lee crossed 160 kph more often than Akhtar in international cricket.
How many icc trophies in the last 10 years?It is not a presentation in front of you, it is a real world system of Indian athletic development which is on the rise. India is producing great bowlers and would continue to produce better bowlers, while you can continue living in the past.
It like Indians still being hung up on gavaskar, Indians moved from Gavaskar to sachin to Kohli.
But you are still hung up on Akhtar.
this deserves the post of the weekNot sure why 160 kph is even associated with Akhtar.

I think you’re mixing up popularity/fame with respect.
Akhtar is extremely popular, but definitely not as well respected as Wasim/Imran.
this deserves the post of the week
How many wins against india in wcs. This is like west Indian fans trying to troll South African fansHow many icc trophies in the last 10 years?
Pakistan are a terrible team across formats, that's expected though.Have fun while you can , Major. Fully expect you to go into hiding once your fast bowlers get pasted by NZ 'C'.
They should give you lifetime award on PP for your contributions.
Lol, we can lose to India in a WC for all I care. What matters is who wins the final trophy.How many wins against india in wcs. This is like west Indian fans trying to troll South African fans
How many icc trophies in the last 10 years?
Because 10 years is contemporary data.Why last 10 years why not last 15?
A foreign coach died under our dutythank god we didnt aswell
When was the last time you won a wc lol, it was in 1992 and you werent even alive to see it.Lol, we can lose to India in a WC for all I care. What matters is who wins the final trophy.
So again, I ask, how many ICC trophies India won in the last 10 years
Didnt know Jamaica was a Pakistani territory that came under the constitution of Pakistan.A foreign coach died under our duty
A foreign team was attacked under our protection.
2009. But dont worry i wont go that far, lets talk contemporary.When was the last time you won a wc lol, it was in 1992 and you werent even alive to see it.
I have seen my team win a wc, you wont ever.
Thank you Misbah
West Indian fans are pretty generous. If they try a little bit they can put South Africans in their place. They have won 2 ODI WCs, 2 T20 WCs and 1 Champions Trophy.How many wins against india in wcs. This is like west Indian fans trying to troll South African fans
The person that you're arguing isn't a team player or a Pakistan supporter in his own right.When was the last time you won a wc lol, it was in 1992 and you werent even alive to see it.
I have seen my team win a wc, you wont ever.
Thank you Misbah
It seems you are more interested in replying to the poster(based on their nationality) than the post itself. He asked you about the trophies India won in the last 10 years but you started asking about Pakistan's achievements instead lol. They don't claim to be world beaters and best in business. They don't claim to be rich and powerful too. He clearly mentioned that he doesn't care if Pakistan loses to India in a World Cup but you ignored that part too.When was the last time you won a wc lol, it was in 1992 and you werent even alive to see it.
I have seen my team win a wc, you wont ever.
Thank you Misbah
Cause I haven't interacted with statpadder much.Then why are you singling out @Major only?
Pretty self explanatory to anyone who can understand english, I have no idea as to why you are struggling with it.It seems you are more interested in replying to the poster(based on their nationality) than the post itself.

And what's this 'I have seen my team win a WC, you won't ever' lol? What does that even mean?
The person that you're arguing isn't a team player or a Pakistan supporter in his own right.
He's quoting 2017 to support his agenda atm yes, but he's gone so far as to demerit it calling it a fluke in the past and not rightfully deserved and critising the players he didnt like such as Amir not even acknowledging his final spell but praised misbah's amazing captaincybfor taking Pakistan to a quaterfinal and then getting butchered after.
Trust me no point. Have this conversation with a true pakistani fan who will actually make you sweat and bring up good solid arguments on why India hasn't won in 11 years and why Pakistan won in 2017.
With agenda drivers you'll just get your run of the mill
Haha you didn't win in 11 years I won in 2017, Hahaha.
Where did I bash India and defend Pakistan? Please tell.Pretty self explanatory to anyone who can understand english, I have no idea as to why you are struggling with it.
And you always seem so eager to defend Pakistan and bash india, that's very sus
Because 10 years is contemporary data.
Sure, i can go back 50 years, but 50 years ago Kapil was captain, not relevent.
Lol how bad you have to be that you boost about being the top team in the world but start whining plz take 15 years into context because the last trophy we won was 15 years ago.
10 year is a standard. I dont mind we can do 7 years. The results are still same for IndiaHow is last 10 years contemporary but 11 years isn't?
Don't blame Pakistan fans. Their cricket team don't give them too many opportunities to celebrate. Last 6 months series of humiliations - Asia Cup, World Cup & Australia tour whitewashHaha you didn't win in 11 years I won in 2017, Hahaha.
and yet in the last 10 years we won an icc trophy, while all you guys have done is become runner ups.Don't blame Pakistan fans. Their cricket team don't give them too many opportunities to celebrate. Last 6 months series of humiliations - Asia Cup, World Cup & Australia tour whitewash
SO no choice but to hang onto such comparisons to feel good !
People who knows their present & future are not great will forever live in the past. Human nature
You are just proving me correctand yet in the last 10 years we won an icc trophy, while all you guys have done is become runner ups.
Oh we celebrate alright, as we hold a current ICC trophy, its you lot that do not get anything to celebrate.
Shoaib Akhtar missed more matches than he played due to injuryLol mayank ruled oud. The hype of two weeks comes to an end.
Very easy to dis akhtar, but bowling pace requires alot of practice and a proper diet.
Chalo bring your 3rd bowler now
interesting, so I end up doing well, and the childhood friend with all the riches has nothing to show for.You are just proving me correct
Its like ur childhood friend is doing very well in life , went to Ivy League & working in a FAANG company while you are struggling to get a good job, so you keep reminding him that in 5th standard in school you scored more marks than him. Not that it makes any difference to your friend but it makes you happy bcoz it makes u feel you are somehow still better than him
As Ghalib said - dil ko khush karne ke liye yeh khayal bhi sahi hai
Not blaming you. Thats how human nature works.
But the focus by indians is on him crossing 160 kph.Shoaib Akhtar missed more matches than he played due to injury
Mayank Yadav is in good company !
My point is,Don't blame Pakistan fans. Their cricket team don't give them too many opportunities to celebrate. Last 6 months series of humiliations - Asia Cup, World Cup & Australia tour whitewash
SO no choice but to hang onto such comparisons to feel good !
People who knows their present & future are not great will forever live in the past. Human nature
Dont think anybody disagrees that Akhtar was faster than Brett LeeBoth Sehwag and Sachin agreed that Shoaib Akhtar was faster than Brett Lee.
There shouldn’t even be a doubt about it.
I think indian team is now producing bowlers who can click above 140 regularly. 150+ is something which is not seen regularly but they do have a bright future ahead in term of Mayank and umran's but are they good enough to represent India for good few year without getting injured every now and then?
Few days back someone asked Neeraj Chopra why he is not able to reach the 90 m mark
He answered back that he is reigning world champion, Olympic champion, Asian Games champion. How does it matter whether he reached the 90 m mark !
I doubt Mayank Yadav worries about this 160 kph. And rightly so. He should focus on becoming a world class bowler like Bumrah / Shami. Not chase vanity milestones
Broke down aftwr a few games. Heard he is out of iplIs Mayank fit again? Heard he not only has pace but the line and length to go with it as well
Broke down aftwr a few games. Heard he is out of ipl
Pace is overratedBlistering pace has its own advantages.
Just like Mike Tyson & Deontay Wilder looked very menacing & thrilling to watch bcoz of their brute power but ultimately they stood no chance in front of well rounded boxers like Lennox Lewis & Tyson FuryPace is overrated
Dale Steyn , Pat Cummins, Bumrah, McGrath won more games than Shoaib Akhtar, Mark Wood, Shaun Tait or Lockie Ferguson
Pace looks exhilarating to watch, produces lots of "oohs & aahs" but ultimately its the 140 kph length & line bowlers who win u matches !
hal good for them if he is back next week, i dont follow IPl as its not broadcasted here. Only follow social meia news with regards to it.Heard? Where?
Unless LSG management called you up and told you something else, their official presa release says Mayank will be back next week.
