The pace bowler with most beautiful action !
First topic message reminder :
who is the most beautiful of them all ??
I categorize pace bowlers' actions into 3 categories:
1) Efficient but Unspectacular Types: Walsh, Roberts, Botham, Ambrose, Garner, Gillespie.......churning the windmill.......nothing too distinctive, but efficient--biomechanically and interms of results.
2) Awkward action types: Malinga, Rumesh Ratnayke, Waqar, Thomson, Patterson.....shoulder powered, gawky, biomechanically not perfect, generally raw pace, lacking longevity....but effective whilst they last.
3) Beauty and Grace the floats like a butterfly stings like the bee of cricket.....style, grace, beauty, rythm, flair, potent and long-living......Imran, Hadlee, Kapil, Akram, Donald, Gough, Anderson.....
I must be missing a few ( quite a few names) on those lists.....but in the beautiful action category......none comes close to Imran Khan.
