hahaha man when you stop thinking about the award it'll come to yousilentstriker said:I don't have a life outside the forum. Does that mean I get the Bradman award next week?
No I swear he was touching 83-84 this match, I watched the whole match and was keeping track of his speeds.adharcric said:
Why not? Sure he's been out of form for a little while and hasn't really produced the kind of bowling or batting we expect from him, but given time and some good behind the scenes help I can see him becoming like Wasim Akram in the future although he probably won't be as feared as Akram was.Sanz said:
He definitely has a chance to become a great bowler, but I can't imagine him reaching the class of Akram because he lacks pace and can't threaten too much with the old ball in test matches. McGrath is in that top league because although he lacks pace, his control is phenomenal and he can make the ball do stuff at any given time.Perm said:
a reason to show why he wouldn't reach akram's heights? i'm sure you know the gap that exists between akram and pathan in terms of actual performance right now....do you actually see enough potential in him to bridge that gap? remember, we are talking about the greatest ever left-arm pacer here....i am not saying pathan can't become a much better bowler than what he is right now, but reaching akram's level, maintaining it and being talked of at akram's level as a bowler at the end of his career would take quite a bit of doing and i don't think he has it in him in terms of pace, control, variety or consistency....adharcric said:
As you'll see in my previous post, I don't think he can reach those heights either.
