I too think Akhtar is better than Bradman. Bradman too got a few test wickets, but he wasn't consistently good as a test bowler. He preferred not to bowl in most of the occasions. On the other hand, Akhtar was the bowling spearhead in his side, bowled inswinging yorkers at 155 kmph. I guess you are right, Akhtar is the better bowler. Anyone who thinks otherwise is surely overrating Bradman.
