Mohammad Asif vs Kapil Dev

[PlayerComparisons]

Who do you think would have been better if Asif had a full test career (like 75+ tests)? Curious to see where Asif is rated on this forum

Asif would find a way to not have a full test career.

True

 

[subshakerz]

With a full career, Pakistan would have had England as a home base rather than UAE and Asif would easily average better than Kapil.

No Pak fast bowler since Waqar has had a full career

Pakistan couldn't keep pace with the world sadly

wasn't Kapil also a fixer or something?

he was falsely accused by Manoj prabhakar who was actually a fixer.

Prabhakar accusing others of fixing was funny as ****

Afridi will. He will have a decent career.

Pakistan fast bowlers since 1990
Lots of talented fast bowlers in the list
Sadly none of them had long test careers except W&W

Not all of them were ultra talented.

And, in no world all of them would have a full career, there simply isn't enough space.

Shoaib and Asif only really, Amir and Shaheen if you really push.

Shaheen is not bad. More talented than Amir.

They might never produce another ATG sadly. At least they had Imran, Wasim, Waqar, and Miandad.

They played together

I actually think Asif might have been the GOAT if he had a McGrath-length Test career, so there's noone I'd vote for ahead of him in polls like this.

 

[Migara]

Asif was the next big thing between McGrath and Bumrah.
Sadly he was an idiot.

an Imbecile, more likely.

No, just greedy.
