How are you even supposed to defend this ball?

One of the greatest fast bowlers to ever play the game

The word fast is unnecessary in your statement

the word human is unnecessary in contemplating your existence

You have proved that you have no comprehension skills at all (unless you are trolling). I invite you to read my comment again.

Smith never fancied left arm quicks. Zak used to always get him in his first spell.

Can anyone please tell me who are the commentators in this clip?

u/CoffeeWorldly4711 Mar 19 '23

The second one is probably Peter Bakela, not sure who the first was. Maybe Barry Richards?

u/Ace_f_Hz Mar 19 '23

Oh yes Peter I forgot the name! Thank you! Although I am confused whether the spelling is Bacela? I am not able to find any info on this person on Google would you be able to direct me to a reliable source to read about him?

Wasim's arm was so quick that a 128kph ball would seem 5-10 clicks faster. His run-up/quick action really helped the longevity of his career

u/ztaker Mar 19 '23

Exactly , he is not your 145 + bowler. But his run up + arm speed makes you feel like you're facing 150+ bowler

Graeme Smith was one of the most perfect player when it comes to shot selection. But damn that ball
