Dude people will never judge Amir on his skills alone. You are arguing against a wall on this topic.are we being relativistic now when talking about Vaas' skill level vs Amir? Like, Vaas was so much better than his peers than Amir is, ergo he is superior?
Because that argument I can see. Otherwise, Vaas was basically a slightly better Ryan Sidebottom. Amir literally has magic in his fingers.
Also post-ban he's had like 400 catches or smth dropped off his bowling, are you really just looking at his stats and going 'meh'?
Amir is easily the best left arm quick since Akram in terms of raw skill. Sure he hasn't got the record to show it yet, and obviously going to jail for crimes against cricket counts against him, but to say he isn't even as good as Vaas if not better is just wrong.
Sorry do you mean Johnson?Come on, Zaheer was good for 18 months, 2 years tops. He was cannon fodder for most of his career.
It's not some little thing. It should rule him out of any contentionI'm still right about Amir its just that people are sour about the spotfixing thing, plus suddenly have rose-tinted glasses for Chaminda ****ing Vaas.
I don't think his willingness to cheat is any way related to the quality of his bowling. They're two separate things.It's not some little thing. It should rule him out of any contention
Man, you make a comeback after 4 years out of the game, your teammates drop a whole bunch of catches on flat pitches, and suddenly people think you aren't all that.is ***** actually arguing this in good faith? because if so i feel bad for him. amir is nothing except a promising youngster at this stage, albeit one who has gotten worse since debut and not better
eh, i've seen him bowl since his return and he's talented but i'm not seeing results nor the fire of his '17' year old self.Man, you make a comeback after 4 years out of the game, your teammates drop a whole bunch of catches on flat pitches, and suddenly people think you aren't all that.
I've never rooted for Amir to do well before but now I feel like it. He's legit a fantastic bowler and is being severely underrated based on statistics and incidents that have nothing to do with his actual ability to bowl a cricket ball.
