Does anyone know what is the technique behind the bowling action of waqar younis? I think thats what made him a lethel bowler. His exceptional swinging ability and accuracy is totally depend on his "slinging action" i guess.
Any ideas from cricket loving people??

It is not that younis always bowls with the slingy action.In the first 15 overs of the match(in his first spell)he bowls normally.But when the ball starts swinging(in his second spell-about 35th over of the innings ),he will start bowling with the slingy action.

A long and aggressive run-up and the ball released with a quick slinging and round arm action was the secret of the brutal pace generated by Waqar Younis.

He was no doubt a fantastic all rounder...Waqar is one of a long line of Pakistanis (starting with Sarfraz Nawaz) who have been effective at using the art of reverse swing. In partnership with Wasim Akram, Younis spearheaded the Pakistan bowling attack in the early to mid 90's. Following their 1992 series versus England, the English media, were suspicious of the then 'mysterious' art of reverse swing. This led to cries of foul play and allegations of "ball-tampering" from some quarters. Waqar Younis's bowling against South Africa in Sheikhupura, Pakistan, is remembered for his effective use of the short-pitched delivery.
Waqar Younis is the only bowler to have taken 5 wicket hauls in 3 consecutive ODIs. He has taken 4+ wickets on 27 occasions in ODIs, also a record. In terms of balls bowled, he has taken the fastest 50, 300, 350 and 400 wickets in ODI matches and the fastest 150, 200, 250, 300 and 350 wickets in Test matches.

well i wont call it a slinging action , unlike dat of malinga - he sure had a round arm action but dat was perfectly alright , n more dan swing it was reverse swing , which i think is an art in pakistan + even a swing bowler is more effective wen at express pace n waqar was pretty quick in his early yrs - i think wat led 2 his decline was his attitude just as in d case of vinod kambli n sachin , sachin was always committed 2 cricket while vinod off late got in2 partying n got distracted , similarly , wasim despite of being more successful bowler dan waqar n surely d best in d world , cud hav been displaced from dat place had waqar done well throughout n not got injured often - i dont think many batsman understood what waqar was n his off cutter was just deadly - i hope india gets bowlers like waqar , wasim , mcGrath , pollock , kapil dev , hadlee , holding , vaas n d list continues - d young blood is gud , but i think d modern quickies r cutting down on pace n getting injured way 2 often 2 b successful

I like the bowling action Shoaib Akhtar. He aims at the batsman's foot.
