Asian matchup of Superstars
In my generation, India produced some very fine batsman, while Pakistan produced some superb fast bowlers.
Am curious as to whom you think were the greatest trio of cricketers as a whole : Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid OR Imran Khan, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis |

Hard to get past Sachin,Dravid and Gavaskar in tests.
Imran,Wasim and Waqar are able contenders but to me the batsmen just pip the bowlers.

As cricketers it has to be the Pakistan trio. Imran was a genuine all-rounder & Wasim a bowling all-rounder. As useful as Sachin's little allsorts and Dravid's occasional keeping are, I reckon you'd take the Pakistan package first.

Yeah, Imran, Wasim, Waqar easily, and thats not a reflection on the Indians, i'd pretty much always take the 3 match winning bowlers, probably would only reconsider if the batters included the Don

  And Indians are also more intelligent and that reflects in the results of various science olympiads. Anyway both Sachin and Gavaskar have made almost to every World XI team. Last edited by Thirdman1; 04-05-2010 at 02:18 PM. |

Not necessarily, I could quite easily pick a world XI with neither of them in there.

Don Bradman was perhaps a better cricketer than me but that's easily the worst World XI I've ever seen from a respected commentator, and I think I'm not alone in this . And as it happens he didn't select Sunny.
But yes you're right, some people (and almost all Indian fans) would put Gavaskar and Tendulkar in their all-time world XIs. I'm not sure I would. Last edited by zaremba; 04-05-2010 at 02:34 PM. |
