T20 isnt even a real version of cricket.... dumbed down for the american market (which never worked). so dont start spitting about T20 records meaning anything, its an Indian cashcow. THANKFULLY timeless tests are returning and from that we should be able to figure out who actually has skill... not luck.
An awesome delivery but in my opinion, this is probably around 80% of what Shane Bond could have been. It's a shame that injuries prevented him from becoming a legend of NZ cricket, maybe even a legend of cricket if he had started playing for NZ a bit earlier.
I knew you would like that hehe...no doubt that playing in the sub-continent is harder for anyone who doesn't play there but everyone plays better on their own turf, thats what I'm saying. If you are from the sub-continent you would play better there because you have been playing there since birth. Imran Khan is my favourite player of all time by the way ;)...followed closely by Chris Cairns and Chris Gayle
just because BCCI wanted all the money for itself, it didnt allowed players from ICL to play...BCCI is equally responsible for Bond's short career...greedy bastards!!!
Cut short by Injuries and even shorter by the incompetent NZ cricket who refused to sign him when he went to the unsanctioned by the BCCI... Er sorry ICC.... ICL. Loved his action
18.74 in these times is phenomenal. This guy was so unlucky with injuries. Or else, NZ could have been a real force and Bond could have been up there with the best..
@69Ocker doesn't have to be. look at his numbers. ridiculous in ODI, ridiculous in tests. And in a time when bowling averages under 30 are considered 'good'.
@zenda40 He destroyed India in Bombay in 1988, yes Sri Lanka many time but NZ didn't play hardly any cricket in Pakistan in the 80's. Obviously judging by your comments you are from Pakistan so I commend you on your loyalty but....anytime you say Hadlee sucked bigtime to someone from NZ who follows cricket you are asking for a response so...Hadlee is the only reason NZ didn't suck in his time. He was the most intelligent bowler ever & the best allrounder ever...better than yes...Imran Khan!
haha...perhaps sucking is a strong word...apologies from the bottom of my heart...i just got carried away in my love for Bond...there was nothing pakistani about it...born in 87, i could never see hadllee, SIR HADLEE i mean...
you are right that Hadlee was intelligent, had Bond been that intelligent, he would have cut down on his pace and could have easily prolonged his career, but he was BOND, a fighter to the core...
if NZ didnt play much in sub-continent, it was good for...contd
...it was good for the figures of Hadlee...cuz he wouldnt have lasted this long elsewhere, had he played on dead pitches and hot weather of sub-continent...destroying india in india once is not a big thing, even someone as average as Razzaq did it twice at least...Imran did it multiple times btw, and not only with his bowling but also with his batting...unlike SIR HADLEE ;)
Bond pwns waqar chutia . shane bond is the best fast bowler ,waqar is also fast medium pacer . NoBODY COULD DESTROY AUSSIES IN THEIR PRIME LIKE BOND . No waqar ,no wasim . And some dumb comments compare bowlers on t20performance , t20 is the worst format to judge talent . Bond literally OWNS TEST,ODIs . Take out injury factor and bond is one hellofa LEGEND . Ask any bowler to destroy australia in their prime lol ,its bond who could destroy the best .
@shane90000 I liked your comment by chance, and then I noted that you have abused Waqar, but I can't unlike it now, can I? Bond was awesome, no doubt, and I am big fan of him (I am an Indian), as will be evident from my comments throughout the page. But so was Waqar, and injury took a big toll on his career too. Remember, he took 193 wickets in about 31 tests during 1991-94. Nobody mastered the metronomic ability to bowl reverse-swinging yorkers like him. So don't abuse him, respect him.
bowling average of 20.88 from 82 ODI's. Pretty amazing for a bowler in this decade. Shame his career was stop and start due to injuries. otherwise, he could have been up there with the best.
It is a shame that Shane Bond has suffered so much with injury. I remember seeing him at the 2003 world cup.... I've never seen anyone swing it so much with such ferocious pace as he did back then
such a good bowler but plagued with injury most of his career plus not be able to play internationals for two years due to playing in the rebel leauge which he did not know when he signed his contract would mean he could not play internationals at the same time
@SuperAnjum786 He cannot be even compared to legends like waqar younas. They can swing all types of ball and he i.e. the shane bond has just swing the new ball which is much easier
@vickyyar010 Yeah man but even Wasim Bhai recognised that Shane Bond was a geniune express paceman, though he had a short career but he sparkled like a true star !
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I love Bond, but I have to say Lee has bowled a yorker that was better than that to Dwayne Bravo in a Test match, picking up another 3 wickets along the way, all with the same sort of yorker.
The one he bowled to Bravo was 158.3 km/h, reverse swinging in more than that one from Bond above, and took middle stump clean out of the ground and deposited it about 4 metres in front of the keeper! Bravo did not have a clue, barely got his bat down in time. Great from bond, better from Lee :-)
Thats not reverse swing from Bond in that delivery, its just a normal inswinger from a right hand bowler, just look at the seam position in the slowmo. Its Bonds stock delivery that he bowls with a new ball
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I know, I was talking about Lee's delivery, which strangely has nothing to do with this video hahaha. Lee is by far the greatest reverse swing bowler in the world currently if he can get it going.
Great ball Bond. Nothing else to say. As a batsman you would just get back to the changerooms and watch the replay in awe. If I were him I would be glad that I got out to such a good delivery.
ok but you cant say Lees a better bowler check there bowling averages bond destroys Lee.
Bond averages 22.09 in test and 20.87 in ODIs compared to Lees 30.81 and 23.01
And bond has had better in the past I guess all his injuries means sometimes hes not playing on the best of form but hes had ODI average well under 20s in the past.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Stats don't say everything. Don't get me wrong, Bond is one of the greatest and most underated bowlers there is, but Lee has been arguably the second best Australian pace ODI bowler ever, after McGrath. He has also played 100 more ODIs than Bond. Australia have always outshone NZ in all cricket so to be around the best bowler is a sensational thing.
Also won the award as second best ODI bowler of this whole decade, after Muralitharin.
@jawsboris72, that's where your argument falls over. Lee played for Australia. He bowled with McGrath, Warne, Gillespie. These guys have applied great pressure at the other end. He got to defend totals made by Hayden, Gilchrist, Ponting. Hussey, Langer, Slater, Martyn, Symonds, Clarke, etc.
Bond played for NZ. He had little support. There was him and Vettori. Imagine if he had played in a great team, like Aussie. His stats would have been even better.
Remember that I am only talking about Lee in the ODI arena, not the Test arena. Bond, despite the lack of games, will be remembered as one of the greatest bowlers ever, also one of the unluckiest.
In ODIs Lee wasn't lucky to bowl with who he did, the other bowlers were lucky to bowl with Lee. He has an ODI average of 22.1, which after almost 200 games is brilliant, he has the third fastest ball ever and has been nominated as the second greatest bowler of this decade. He is a legend of ODIs.
@addonex Bond is full Kiwi so dont even dream of him playing for Aussies. He does his best against Australia for a reason, because as a kiwi he feels its an absolute must to destroy the aussie team!
I don't totally disagree with your comments, but I might add that Bond has the third best bowling average in the history of test cricket, and lets face it, is not half bad in the shorter version. The other thing to remember is that New Zealand play 1 test for every 4, so you can but imagine what Bonds true potential might have been had he played for Australia. I know they would have picked him.
He's a great bowler to watch. Shame we missed out on him for so long with injury and that poxy ICL. Or, more to the point, the ridiculous manner in which NZ Cricket dealt with anyone who played ICL cricket.
Averages, Strike Rates, Rankings.. Bond is better in all of them. Bond may not have the same pace as Lee but Bond is by far the better bowling in terms of accuracy and consistency. there is no point even comparing them, Bond is better ten-fold.
Err, Bond has not done enough to prove how good he is. He has potential but Brett Lee has taken 323 ODI wickets. Bond has 134. Lee has also taken 310 test wickets to Bond's 79. Counting Twenty20 as well as test and ODI Lee has 650 international wickets. Bond has 228. 35% of what Lee has.
@Exalt4KoRn look at how many games bond has played compared to Lee........ lee has played a ton more games..... bond takes wickets at a much quicker rate.
Bond takes wickets at a better strike rate with better averages in both formats of the game. longevity doesn't mean anything in terms of skill, so Bond is better - end of story.
By the way if Bond bowled to NZ in his day,i am sure he would have destroyed them as well.Bond has devastated a whloe tem,the Ozzies didnt have a say against him and at that time Ozzie were leagues ahead of anyone.
Grow up. I agree, he's a better T20 bowler, but then again Bond has barely played any. Bond also hasn't played ODIs and Tests in 2 years so they're on the same page there. Players are based off their test match performances and Shane Bond's is outstanding. Same for ODIs
? t20 is completely different. Plenty of players have better t20 batting averages than Tendulkar, Ponting, Lara etc etc, but that doesn't make them better players. Anyway bond hardly played any t20 so why use this as a comparison? And despite all this NZ is a country of 3.5 million that cares about rugby, not cricket. Pakistan has about 180 milion people and is obsessed with cricket, so bear that in mind when you are comparing your cricket team with New Zealand!!
Well you cant compare their test and twenty 20 record as pakistan has only played 1 or 2 test matches in the past 2 years and played half as many odi's as bangladesh. So until an equal amount of cricket is played you cantuse ODI and TEST stats.
@irottev Heh, maybe cuz Bond's been playing for 13+ years and Gul like 1-2? Simply goes on to show your ignorance.
Gul is statistically, and expressively the best T20 bowler of them all, a format which is undeniably the hardest one for a bowler, mind you. So I don't see what's there to downgrade him. Obviously, I'm not at all saying Bond is mediocre or anything, he's a legend and its a fact, hence like other talented fast bowlers I love him as well.
@born2rock92 Gul has played more Tests than Bond (26 Gul 18 Bond) Bond has played a few more ODIs though (Bond 82, Gul 69) and they've played similar number of T20 (Bond 20, Gul 26). Your point is moot. Bond debuted in 2001, Gul in 2003. So again, you're actually really wrong. So actually it goes to show YOUR ignorance. How could you even think that Gul has only been around 1-2 years? Gul is a better T20 bowler but in the formats that actually matter Bond is a much better bowler.
@irottev Wooh. How the hell has Bond played only 18 tests after being in international cricket for that many yeers, lol? That's news to me. I might be wrong on the statistics there, but if there'd be any ignorance, it'd be agaisnt my claim of Gul being downgraded. And what the hell are you on and on about the ignorance on T20? Its undoubtedly the hardest format for bowlers, which you yourself admitted Gul betters Bond at . . . but my point ; quit comparing two legends and downgrading either.
@irottev And one more thing, if anything Gul has played almost all of his tests in homegrounds, which as we all know unfortunately are the flattest of tracks found anywhere, unlike New Zealand and a few other countries where green pitches are nothing but paradise for bowlers. Just saying, Gul has faced hard circumstances, yet tops the T20 format, Bond has proved he's a great test cricketer, even though he's played only 18 shockingly . . . comparing legends isn't something I'd do.
Beautifully bowled.. Be-You-Tee-Fully Bowled xD

The other thing to remember is that New Zealand play 1 test for every 4, so you can but imagine what Bonds true potential might have been had he played for Australia. I know they would have picked him.

1 for every 4 tests that Australia play

@MrAll4god not arguing that Lee is a better Test bowler, Bond is better there for sure, so I agree with you there.

He's a great bowler to watch. Shame we missed out on him for so long with injury and that poxy ICL. Or, more to the point, the ridiculous manner in which NZ Cricket dealt with anyone who played ICL cricket.

bond has clean action and his pace is no lesser than lee or akthar.but he is very injury prone
when it comes to swing or yorker no bowler in the world history has ever come near to the great wasim akram & waqar younis...
when it comes to pace..jeff thomson is the authority...even lee or akthat cannot bowl 5 overs consitently in the speeed of 150 kmph....
indain bowlers the less said the better...

check the stats buddy
aussiestuff 2 years ago
LOL I think you need to!
Averages, Strike Rates, Rankings.. Bond is better in all of them. Bond may not have the same pace as Lee but Bond is by far the better bowling in terms of accuracy and consistency. there is no point even comparing them, Bond is better ten-fold.
Exalt4KoRn 2 years ago 7
Err, Bond has not done enough to prove how good he is. He has potential but Brett Lee has taken 323 ODI wickets. Bond has 134. Lee has also taken 310 test wickets to Bond's 79. Counting Twenty20 as well as test and ODI Lee has 650 international wickets. Bond has 228. 35% of what Lee has.

stats talk for themselves. you would be an idiot to think that lee is better. in fact a complete and utter moron.
Exalt4KoRn 2 years ago 4
@Exalt4KoRn look at how many games bond has played compared to Lee........ lee has played a ton more games..... bond takes wickets at a much quicker rate.
sadikspencervz 2 years ago
Bond takes wickets at a better strike rate with better averages in both formats of the game. longevity doesn't mean anything in terms of skill, so Bond is better - end of story.

T20 is a bit different.
By the way if Bond bowled to NZ in his day,i am sure he would have destroyed them as well.Bond has devastated a whloe tem,the Ozzies didnt have a say against him and at that time Ozzie were leagues ahead of anyone.
damnimage 2 years ago
And if you compare their t20 stats their is no comparison
As umar gul is rated the best bowler in t20. Plus he led his team to the cup along with afridi.
....OH Yeah i forgot to mention his best figure is 5-6 and that is against NEW ZEALAND!!!!
kuulgaii 2 years ago
Grow up. I agree, he's a better T20 bowler, but then again Bond has barely played any. Bond also hasn't played ODIs and Tests in 2 years so they're on the same page there. Players are based off their test match performances and Shane Bond's is outstanding. Same for ODIs
voidnz 2 years ago 2
? t20 is completely different. Plenty of players have better t20 batting averages than Tendulkar, Ponting, Lara etc etc, but that doesn't make them better players. Anyway bond hardly played any t20 so why use this as a comparison? And despite all this NZ is a country of 3.5 million that cares about rugby, not cricket. Pakistan has about 180 milion people and is obsessed with cricket, so bear that in mind when you are comparing your cricket team with New Zealand!!

Well you cant compare their test and twenty 20 record as pakistan has only played 1 or 2 test matches in the past 2 years and played half as many odi's as bangladesh. So until an equal amount of cricket is played you cantuse ODI and TEST stats.

but umar gul is much more succesful than bond
just compare their t20 records

Since when did T20 become the highest form of cricket? Compare Bond's test (or ODI for that matter) records. No contest who's better.
irottev 2 years ago 12
aww we'll see who's better after a few years...
lanpakkar 2 years ago
@irottev Heh, maybe cuz Bond's been playing for 13+ years and Gul like 1-2? Simply goes on to show your ignorance.
Gul is statistically, and expressively the best T20 bowler of them all, a format which is undeniably the hardest one for a bowler, mind you. So I don't see what's there to downgrade him. Obviously, I'm not at all saying Bond is mediocre or anything, he's a legend and its a fact, hence like other talented fast bowlers I love him as well.
born2rock92 1 year ago
@born2rock92 Gul has played more Tests than Bond (26 Gul 18 Bond) Bond has played a few more ODIs though (Bond 82, Gul 69) and they've played similar number of T20 (Bond 20, Gul 26). Your point is moot. Bond debuted in 2001, Gul in 2003. So again, you're actually really wrong. So actually it goes to show YOUR ignorance. How could you even think that Gul has only been around 1-2 years? Gul is a better T20 bowler but in the formats that actually matter Bond is a much better bowler.
irottev 1 year ago 34
@irottev Wooh. How the hell has Bond played only 18 tests after being in international cricket for that many yeers, lol? That's news to me. I might be wrong on the statistics there, but if there'd be any ignorance, it'd be agaisnt my claim of Gul being downgraded. And what the hell are you on and on about the ignorance on T20? Its undoubtedly the hardest format for bowlers, which you yourself admitted Gul betters Bond at . . . but my point ; quit comparing two legends and downgrading either.
born2rock92 1 year ago
@irottev And one more thing, if anything Gul has played almost all of his tests in homegrounds, which as we all know unfortunately are the flattest of tracks found anywhere, unlike New Zealand and a few other countries where green pitches are nothing but paradise for bowlers. Just saying, Gul has faced hard circumstances, yet tops the T20 format, Bond has proved he's a great test cricketer, even though he's played only 18 shockingly . . . comparing legends isn't something I'd do.
