Scott Coyte is crazy.

I can't find a vid of Craig White bowling on youtube.

S. Akhtar Rawalpindi Express

I seem to remember him having an exceptionally long run. Might be imagining it though.

He did ocassionally bowl with an extremely short run and still bowl very quick

This doesn't capture it completely but his run-up was just a step or two longer than is shown in this video

He bowled off like 10 steps when they were way behind the over rate in an ODI once iirc

Wasim Akram himself had a decently smaller run up compared to Waqar, Akhtar.

BTW, the hour I spent watching the video I posted of the 2000 series was really enjoyable. It is great viewing. Fantastic series with some quality bowling.

Will have to have a gander.

One of my favourite series (as I remember it); felt like a massive watershed moment for English cricket fans after we'd been roundly thrashed by the Windies for so many years. The chase in the 2nd test after Caddick had skittled them for (IIRC) 54 in their second innings was real edge of the seat stuff. Dom Cork's finest hour with the bat.

If memory serves the second day of that test was the first in test history to feature parts of all 4 innings.

I don't think Wasim's run up was particularly long.

Andre Adams? I seem to remember watching an early CLT20 match when he was playing for Auckland and he doddled in off of 3 paces and got it in the mid-80's.
