Ambrose is the better bowler but is he the better cricketer?

He wanted to be a basketball player, but his mom forced him to play cricket.

Not bad for a guy whose second favorite sport is cricket.

Well Curtly Ambrose has the lower average so he MUST be the better bowler

Wasim a more successful strike bowler for longer and had a wider variety

More likely to pick / get Ambrose in a given draft.

I would prefer Wasim on a slow flat pitch because of his variety and developmental experience on Pakistani tracks but Ambrose's attributes were perfect for most test match strips.

Yea Wasim was a genius on flat pitches

Akram better bowler, better batsman and better fielder.
Its like comparing Viv with Miandad.

Find this one really close. Wasim's batting really isn't worth much IMO, but the gap between them as bowlers is tiny as well.

Garner 2nd Greatest ODI Bowler after Akram.
Kapil GOAT ODI Allrounder

Viv is the Only WI cricketer better than Kapil in ODIs ( Sobers, Viv, Marshall and Lara in tests )
in fact Viv is the only Non subcontinent ODI Cricketer better than Kapil.
Akram > Sachin > Viv > Dhoni > Kapil

Trust me when I say this, it's best you take a break every now and then from this forum. Otherwise you might get caught up in some of the complete bs some of these posters (trolls) come up with. It's done wonders for me.
