Akhtar, Bond or Lee?

International Captain
So far:

Tests :

1. Akhtar
2. Bond
3. Lee

ODIs:

1. Lee
2. Akhtar
3. Bond

I think Bond is more advanced as a bowler than either those two so by the end of their careers, i think Bond might overshadow them both.

Pace, accuracy, brains, comebackability....Bonds got it all.

I'm now a big fan.
Bond by far for me. I just think he has so much more to offer than just pace !!! Where as the other two (aktar and lee) as dangerous as they are don't seem to have so much to offer.

Talking about Lee, i think he has been more of a dissapointment, infact i think Tait is a much better prospect than Lee.

I say Bond, but of course I would, wouldn't I?

Because he's ours and because he seems a nice bloke as well as being a good bowler, like after the last game he said "personal milestones are nice, but it's better just to have contributed to a win" or something a lot like that, and he doesn't sledge either.

I think bond is the far smarter than the 3...

However he has yet to be tested in a test after coming back from injury (Zimbabwe is hardly a test)

At the moment:

Tests: Akhtar
ODI: Bond

But in the future i would expect bond to pass akhtar in the tests....

Deifinetly has a potential

Akhtar by a mile for me.

In Tests it really is no contest when you actually look beyond the bare number.

It seems like a lot of people don't think much of Akhtar...maybe because of his (perceived) attitude problems?

Well for me, of the 3 he's the only one who'd come close to making an England Test side - which is about as good a way to make the call as any I'd say.

Lol as if Bond wouldn't make the English side. They may be good Marc but don't get carried away.

Sure Akhtar can be devastating, but he can also be a Captains nightmare if he doesn't have things go the right way for him.
