best death overs in an odi

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Kabir Ali yesterday

Tendulkar when SA needed 4 off the last over

Saqlain in the 2001 Natwest series where he and Rashid combined to remove Caddick off the last ball

Andrew Hall in the C&G semi when he bowled 6 dots

Imran in the WC final

The best I have ever seen over an extended period of time is Ian Harvey for Gloucs in county cricket. This bloke had a spell of about five years of being unhittable at the 'death'. Amazing.

Flintoff bowls well at the death for England these days.

Kabir Ali was awesome in the last over yesterday..he is just a medium pacer but he bowled at the right places(except for the first ball)

my personal favourite death bowling of all time was by Razzaq against Srilanka at Sharjah in 99!..

[Amjid Javed]

wasim akram and saqi where best death bowlers i ever saw.

[tahaqureshi]

can anyone tell me how kabir ali's last over went ball by ball?

[Jahangir Khan]

Yeah, SA needed 8 off final over

First ball - Above the waist no ball full toss, hit for 4 by Boucher. Total of 5.

1st ball - 3 needed off 6 balls. Another full toss but this time caught out

2nd ball - 3 off 5 needed. Good ball just outside off stump. Pollock plays and misses.

3rd ball - Pollock gets single

4th ball - 2 needed from 3 balls. Prince defends and takes hesitant single but is run out at bowlers end by Kabir.

5th ball - 2 off 2 needed. Pollock gets single

Last ball - 1 needed to win. Andrew Hall on strike & keeper stands up to stumps

Kabir bowls a low full toss/yorker just outside off, Hall misses and is then stumped by Jones.

England celebrate tie

Kabir took two wickets and also played a part in the run out.

"5th ball - 2 off 2 needed. Pollock gets single"
That single was just a drop and run job aswell, Pollock with all his experience and power hitting could do nothing with the ball.

In my mind, the master of death bowling was the one and only Waqar 'Inswinging Yorker' Younis. Together with Wasim Akram he won us many matches with tight bowling. They would not get people out caught in the outfield slogging but would clean bowl them.

Waqar in particular was devastating. Whilst others have one memorable last over, Waqar has many and on various ocassions he would not let the other team go to the final over even after they were in the driving seat. Unfortunately, Kotha has not proved to be as good as Waqar.

In his prime, I would say Waqar was the best bowler of all time because it didn't matter where he was playing or what sort of pitch it was, he could bowl top order batsmen with his yorkers.

Sami can do a job at the end with his ability to bowl yorkers and Rana Naved seems to be able to as well.

[Faisal Akhtar]

Sami? ha

Asia cup, got hit for 4 by Kumble off last over which cost us a place in the final.

"my personal favourite death bowling of all time was by Razzaq against Srilanka at Sharjah in 99!.."

Yeah thats probably the best performance ive ever seen. Unbeliveable that was. 11 needed with 4 wickets in hand and Razzaq clean bowled 3!

Vaas also is a good death bowler, i remember Aus needed 5 runs of an over and he bowled beautifully. He won the game for Sri Lanka
