Mohammad Sami had the tendency to spray the ball when out of form

Mohammad Sami was one of the fastest bowlers in the world during his prime. He burst on to the international scene during Pakistan's tour of New Zealand in 2001. On a clumsier note, Sami is the holder of an unwanted record in cricket. He has bowled the longest over in the history of ODIs, comprising of a whopping 17 deliveries.

Sami achieved this feat against Bangladesh at the 2004 Asia cup. He sent down seven wides and four no-balls to end up conceding 22 runs. Sami could not make a lasting impression with Pakistan as he was highly inconsistent and bowled erratic lines. In all likelihood, the veteran's last appearance at the international level came during the 2016 World T20.
