He played his last innings for UP in 56-57 when he was 62 and scored a fifty. He played a charity match seven years later (which has become his official last first class game) but effectively he played till 1956-57.If I remember correct Nyadu was still playing First Class Cricket at the age of 68
Imran Khan deserves a place ahead of Wasim Akram.In fact,Imran Khan is well ahead of Wasim Akram as an overall cricketer.I think Wasim Akram should of been there.
But don't u think Imran achieved more with the ball than Wasim Akram?I mean Wasim had the help of Waqar,Saqlain,Shoaib & one or two other good bowlers but all Imran had was mediocore bowlers in the form of Safaraz Nawaz & Abdul Qadir,even then he ended with much better stats than Wasim.Imran has not only better average,S/R etc but also took 4.1 wkts/match(would be more than 5 wkts/match atleast if u exclude those 20 matches he played as a specialist batsman,some in mid 80s when he was injured & some at the end of his career ) as compared to Wasim's 4.0 wkts/match.I am not so sure, I will always pick Wasim Akram ahead of Imran Khan for his extra-ordinary skills with the ball.
Agreed except the bolded part.Definitely Imran Khan is a much better cricketer than Wasim Akram or any other Asian greats . There is nothing the guy hasn't achieved . One of the great fast bowlers of all time , a very fine batsman , peerless captain , grooming young talents.He did every thing a cricketer could have .
Imran is simply outstanding and miles away from all other cricketers from Asia .
Wasim the greatest quickie i have ever seen ,is a huge under achiever with the ball(yes), Bat and even captaincy .He could have done more .He was that gifted ,a natural if ever there was one .
Sorry,my mistake & I apologize for it.She didn't say 'Wasim is the greatest Quickie', She said 'Wasim is the greatest quickie she has ever seen'. How can you disagee with her what she has seen ?
Well what if she saw Allan Donald too? Then Wasim couldn't possibly have been the best player that she had seen, and frankly I'm appaled at her passing off her opinion as fact.She didn't say 'Wasim is the greatest Quickie', She said 'Wasim is the greatest quickie she has ever seen'. How can you disagee with her what she has seen ?
And here I was thinking forums were for expressing ones opinionsWell what if she saw Allan Donald too? Then Wasim couldn't possibly have been the best player that she had seen, and frankly I'm appaled at her passing off her opinion as fact.

U don't agree with me ,okay .But u know Ambrose agrees with me.Agreed except the bolded part.
Well Allan Donald's quite patently a better seam-bowler than Wasim TBH.Well what if she saw Allan Donald too? Then Wasim couldn't possibly have been the best player that she had seen, and frankly I'm appaled at her passing off her opinion as fact.

DWTAWell Allan Donald's quite patently a better seam-bowler than Wasim TBH.
Donald himself called Wasim the greatest seam-bowler he'd ever seen.Well Allan Donald's quite patently a better seam-bowler than Wasim TBH.
