A shame Oz fans never saw the best of him because of injury
The closest we got was an ODI at the WACA very early in his career when he was absolutely frightening Read today that pre-injury, he had taken something like 190 wickets at 19 at a strike-rate that was something like 4 balls per wickets less than the next best - amazing stats And, unlike the 00s, it was also in a period when people could actually bat

45 then is 55 now because pitches weren't runways, and openers couldn't thump down their front foot and stroke away to centuries.

In 1990 Lancashire scored 863 against Surrey at the Oval so I went to see the 1991 fixture to see a repeat. No chance - I'd seen Sylvester Clarke once or twice at the Oval and thought I'd never see anything so terrifying again but he was Waqar was just as awesome - we didn't have a prayer despite the much maligned Mike Watkinson batting really well in both innings - Wasim on the other hand was - well to put it politely - distinctly ordinary in comparison

Truly vicious stuff where he gave Gatting etc a horrible workover and the game was done inside a few overs |

Only saw Sylvers at the Oval the once after a few beers - he used to be on the telly quite a lot but my parents wouldn't let me drink at home so without any alcohol I just hid behind the chair whenever he was bowling - he was absolutely terrifying sight
