A few would dispute on Wasim Akram’s credibility as the greatest left arm fast bowler in the history of the game. Real artists, who made the red cherry talk like no one else, had ever done.
The left arm champion swung the ball both ways at pace. He had everything in his armory; pace, bounce, cut, in swinger, out swinger, and a lethal bouncer followed up by a deceptive slower delivery. A remarkable control over seam and swing, and can generate that amount of pace with such a short run-up, almost unheard of. Mark Taylor Once said, “He is the only bowler who will pitch four different deliveries on the same spot and let them do four different things. Never, in the modern age, had a bowler explored more that could be done with a cricket ball.
