Subject: Akram in my opinion
In reply to: Genghis 's message, "I was trying to think of the last time a pace bowler this good toured" on 10:12 04/01/25 Sat

Lightening quick off the wicket. Moved it both ways. Attacked the body with great short balls. Bowled agsinst top line batters. Frightened the lines of Tubby . The ball fizzed through the air. I had the good fortune to stand behind the nets when he was bowling one day . I was standing a good 2 metres behind the nets snd still couldn’t see the thing

And Akram had to bowl on flat tracks at home. (NT) -- Annabelle, 13:32 05/01/25 Sun
- Not as flat as Bumrah.Pakistini pitches have traditionally had more spice than Indian ones (NT) -- Pendlebury, 20:06 06/01/25 Mon
  - Not so sure about that. Pakistani pitches were so flat that Imran opted out from -- Annabelle, 20:39 06/01/25 Mon
    - You're right. Pitches have changed over the years. A spinner can't get the ball in Sydney. -- Pendlebury, 14:24 07/01/25 Tue
      - The main change is the ball, pull apart a Kookaburra today and you'll find a plastic ring under the seam -- Pyeman WPBD, 08:43 13/01/25 Mon
        Part of it - Wobble Ball the more direct cause -- pugsville, 14:03 13/01/25 Mon
        The wobble seam or as its more commonly known, not coming out of your hand correctly -- Pyeman WPBD, 16:38 13/01/25 Mon
        Reverse swing died a very quick death around the world after we got caught tampering -- Optimax, 17:12 13/01/25 Mon
