    Who's the better bowler, Mk II?

    In open imitation of SJS' lively thread:

    Who was better: Imran Khan or Waqar Younis?

    This is actually a more interesting question, because there was a time, albeit a short one, when Waqar was quite conceivably a better bowler than anyone except Malcolm Marshall.

    Sadly for him, there was also a decidedly lengthy period of fair mediocrity, where searingly good games were sandwiched between 3 or 4 anodyne ones.

    Imran was good for far, far, far longer, if never as sensationally marvellous as Waqar was for his first 4 years.

    At Waqar's peak, he was the best pacer of all time, bar none. But that peak, unfortunately, didn't last long enough for me to vote for him ahead of Imram.
    Can't decide on a signature? Why not Zoidberg?

    Im going to abstain on this one.

    Waqar for a brief time was possibly the best quick I have seen. Someting that never crossed my mind watching Wasim.

    Obviously he declined from a great to a mere good bowler after his sensational start.

    To average under 20, with a strike rate of a wicket every 6 overs, a fifer every 2nd game and 5 and 1/2 wickets a Test is crazy good. However, around 30 Tests on it declined and his legacy has been a little tainted.

    For a period though it was like he was from another planet.

    Without watching Imran indepth at his peak it is hard for me to compare fairly with a pplayer like Waqar that I rate so highly.

    If we go by their entire careers, than Imran by far.
