2003 world Cup was a showpiece event for fast bowlers, Akhtar, Lee and Bond all playing at their peak and to add the pacy South African pitches to unleash their arsenal, it was a treat for fans of fast bowling, can't remember any other world Cup where fast bowlers were so lethal, Starc and Johnson look paltry in front of this show.
@@manpreetmatharucomic it was all downhill after 2003 for pace. Pitches got slower all round and genuine fast express pace bowlers started to fade. Tait was one of the last before Johnson had a few series at that pace and Starc came along. Now there’s nobody really on the ODI and test scene.
Run up is so scary ,hats off to his energy many people will come and go but to be consistent and play so many matches like shoaib and Brett Lee looks difficult .it's treat to watch their runups
Hell no, Shoaib never bowled 150+ consistently he would bowl couple of overs in 150-160 km/h and then go back to bowling at 135 km/h he would conserve energy during some spells to bowl really fast in the next over but Brett Lee bowled 150+ literally every ball he bowled.

And when India came out to chase the mammoth total Glenn McGrath got rid off the Master with a short ball and my mother switched off the TV......... :^) good memories.

We really took bowling like this for granted, this is once in a lifetime talent and the fact that Shoaib had to fight for a place in the side with Wasim and Waqar is insane. Wish these three were spread out and Shoaib was playing right now.
Shoaib Akhtar taught how to look like bowler in speed, in run-up, in aggression, in accuracy. After him I don't think anybody came and taught everything in one person like he taught to generations. Only Dale Steyn somehow matchups him.
Nops Akhtar cant be matched one day mein dale steyn gadha hai 2015 mein chakke padea diye semifinal mein usne akhtar ko maarne ki himmat har kisi me nahi thi
He made fast bowling look easy. I can understand what his body would have gone through to bowl that superfast pace consistently for years. Legend of legends! Salute from an Indian fan.
What an era it was... Shoaib Akhtar running hard with long flying hairs, bending his back & balling those fast balls to some of the best batsmans & in the commentary box Tony Grieg.
Symonds played brilliantly otherwise Aussies could have been rolled out for less than 200 easily. Pakistan has an old habit of getting relaxed and sloppy in the middle overs. That was the only bowling attack in 2003 apart from Shane Bond who challanged the invincible aussie side of 2003.
@@ashoksingh-ns6zq OR it was just a difficult pitch and the low Australian score cannot be credited to Sri Lankan bowling. The outcome remained unaffected, only the scores got lowered.
Screamer from Shoaib Akhtar first up. Didn't disappoint Tony & Ramiz with their anticipation ! 👍 And Rashid Latif even at this age in WC 2003 was arguably the best PAK wicket-keeper for his work behind the stumps 👌🏻
Rashid latiff when he took that first ball he was very athletic in that jump saves 4 runs I whish Kamran Akmal could showed that sort of keeping talent😆 just imagine he is in that situation sourly no attempt and 4 definit runs and a poor look on his face to justify his poor keeping talent. Now so far that image of his appears in your mind right don't surprise flaws in keeping is regular thing for him.
Shoaib Akhtar and Brett lee were at their absolute fastest in this world cup with Shane bond nipping at their heals. 2003 Childhood memories how time flies.
2:52 Even umpire feeling the aggressiveness of fastest bowler first hand. Something you can't imagine in today's cricket. Shoaib was fast and aggressive with an attitude. A legend of pace bowling. What a thrilling entertainment era of cricket that was.
Man cricket was high standard at the last of its peak . Late 90’s to early 2000’s to late 2000’s . It was fire . What a box office at both ends shoaib akhtar , Matthew hayden . Wow
I don't know why but i believe that in wc99, he was at his prime. As i watched both world cups live, i feel a lot of difference between Shoaib Akhtar of 99 nd of 2003. In 99 he was more consistent nd accurate. His bowling action was also different. I remember how beautifully he bowled Nathan Astle, Grant Flower, Stephen Fleming, Chris Harris, Sherwin Cambel, Steve Waugh etc. Treat to watch

@@White742that's becoz he came from a generation where wicket keeper was not required to have good batting credentials, job of wicket keeper during that time was to do keeping and then score some fast runs.

It is only after Adam ghilchirst, sangakara came wicket keeper cum batsmen term came.
The first delivery just took off... However, the most fast and fiery spell in the 2003 world cup was of Shane Bond vs Australia 6/23, right out of the hell
One thing is that time one really enjoyed contests beyond home country matches (india) because of the quality in display. I would have liked to see more of how Hayden n ponting responded to Akhtar. Also had Wasim & waqar! Gosh ! Sounds like a multi starrer film.. now even India's matches one don't seem to watch n enjoy.. other team contests not even in contention.. cricket standard has really come down I would say..
Great footage of Shoaib in good form. Great heat against a couple of truly great bats. Fantastic footage. Just like we are, i'm sure he'd be very happy watching this....the best memories would be giving the highest class batsmen some trouble.

Bro you’re so damn right on point. Just imagine. Indian batsmen and Pakistani bowlers together. We would have dominated world cricket. Politics fucked us all up sadly

Oh man. The cricket in those days was fierce, intimidating and eventful. Just cracking contest against the bests which I unfortunately don’t feel the same since a decade. May be these days it’s just more batting friendly and hence the competition between bat and bowl is not even.

World cricket needs bowlers like him..
2003 watching on B/W tv specially LEE,BOND AND AKHTAR .... Always treat for all..
Remember watching live. Pak had Aus on the mat at 80/4 or something, then Symonds happened and they got 300+
Watching akhtar in his peak is something which gives reliefs to our eyes
No one has ever been able to do to the Aussies what Shoaib used to do. Wahab recreated that in ways but against the likes of Gilchrist, Ponting and Hayden 🔥🔥🔥
Than what about Shane Bond?
you never saw what westindian fast bowlerr did to aus in their backyard...shoaib is kid infront of them
Love you shoyeb akter from Bangladesh ❤❤
This pakistan team had the best bowling lineup ever (Wasim,Waqar and Shoaib) can not believe how they did not reach the final
Because other side were sachin ganguly pointing Gilchrist hayden 😂😂
Because they pass thier prime 🤣🤣🤣
