Killer bouncers: The 10 deadliest deliveries ever

10. Shoaib Akhtar to Gary Kirsten

Ace batsman Gary Kirsten, during South Africa’s tour of Pakistan in 2003, was hit by a super-fast bouncer by Shoaib Akhtar. It was a horrible sight to watch Kirsten fall down to the ground as the Pakistani team flocked to him. Kirsten got ten stitches and suffered a broken nose and damage to his eye socket.

There have been many more deadly bouncers that have broken a nose or two on the field. Cricket is a game that changes with every ball and with it comes tremendous thrill and exhilaration that manifest themselves in forms, both good and bad. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the aggressive side of cricket!
