Watch: Shoaib Akhtar unsettles Jacques Kallis with a bouncer in 1st All Stars T20: Pakistan’s speed demon Shoaib Akhtar was back in action with the ball. The ongoing Cricket All Stars has brought together past legends from eight countries to play T20 matches in the teams led by Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne respectively.  These matches are obviously a delight for the cricket fans all over the world.

The legends showed their glimpse in the first T20 played at new York. Shoaib Akhtar is playing for Sachin’s blasters in the series currently taking place in the United States.

Shoaib Akhtar, however, showed that even after retiring, he has the same viciousness and class in his bowling. Akhtar bowling against Jacques Kallis, delivered an unplayable bouncer to him. It was an effortless delivery. Akhtar simply ran in and pitched the ball short. And, to Kallis’ surprise there was a steep bounce which left him stunned. Kallis’ reaction to the bouncers left Akhtar amused, leaving him with a smile on his face.

Everyone knows Akhtar was a ferocious bowler during his playing days. Speed was his weapon.

About a decade back, when Akhtar played for Pakistan, he did something similar in a highly competitive fashion. After seeing this video comparing two different Shoaib Akhtar’s one would realize that the amazing thing is that the zing in his bowling has not been lost. The spark is still there in him.

In 2002, Australia played Pakistan at the Gabba. Shane Watson was the batsman standing in front of him. Shoaib, who was at the peak of his performance that time, ran in furiously to fire in a 148 kmph rapid bouncers which not only unsettled Watson but also beat the wicketkeeper with its pace and bounce. He continued in the same way throughout the over troubling Shane Watson and other Australian batsmen during the match.
