Shoaib Akhtar playing for Pakistan 'A' v MCC in Shenley 1996/97. Takes 4 quick wickets in this clip, incl 2 in 2 balls.
You maybe also be able to spot Azahar Mahmmood, Irfan Fazil, Saleem Elahi amongst others. The leg spinner has also played Test(s) for Pak but his name escapes me.... My own film.

  • I have serious doubts about this being true. I dont think shoaib is in his teens in this video. As far as i remember shoaib was already 24 when he made his debut for pakistan in 97. If this really is 96 why is the kid taking his autograph, he was virtually unknown back then.

    Correct me if im wrong though

  • Probably not in his teens but it definitely 96. Although, he hadn't played for Pak, he was in the news after breaking someone's finger on the tour. And Graham Hick said he was quickest bowler he had ever faced. Thats why I went to watch him.

  • Brilliant vid! shaoib when he was young and innocent (didnt last long!). I think that leg spinner is Ali Hussain Rizvi, looks like his action. Keith Athurton got a 200 in that game too!

  • Yes, and have you noticed young Azhar Mahmood bowling from top end..?

  • It is Sohaid Indeed and the left handed batsman with Kookabura bat and round hat is Keith Arthurton(Former WI batsman), if my guess is right.

  • i like his action at the start of his career...high arm and very straight body....

  • 101% he is shabby

  • @MrDebashishMohanty Still quick!

  • Shoaib before roids!

  • this is a practice match

  • @frazchaudhry Without doubt This is Shoaib Akhtar! Well before is prominent rise to fame in the Pakistan team. The action, the run up, the follow through all suggest a seriously quick bowler, bowling within Himself and I have to say it is a privelage to see this Great video on YOUTUBE......Thanks.
