England 47/2 (10.1 ov)
Just watching slow mo replays of Shoaib Akhtar bowling and I can't believe that his bowling action has never been questioned (or has it)? It looks more like a baseball pitch than bowling!
It's been questioned, but not in recent years. It's more obvious when he's bowling fast yorkers at the end. His elbow gets more and more bent. They rave on commentary about how fast he's bowling, of course he will if he's allowed to throw it!!
They're definitely no balls in my opinion, which probably explains why, at the age of 35 and with a side strain, he's still able to bowl at 90+ mph.
