Waqar would have been an ATG for me if he was able to keep bowling like he did in the early 90s. Simply not the same bowler for me after that time so no.

that series in particular is extremely sus, also because it's kinda unbelievable, like even at the Oval in 1976 it's still kund of believable because Holding had a duke ball and England batting was suspect, missing Geoffrey Boycott and John Edrich. Imran doing that against strong batting lineups on similar roads with Kookabura is unbelievable.
 

Swamp Witch Hattie

U19 12th Man
Imran achieved superhuman feats with the ball but the magnitude of his achievements is diminished somewhat by the realisation that he cheated: he had two Infinity Stones in his possession, the Mind Stone and the Reality Stone, and he fully exploited their capabilities. Imran used the Mind Stone to control the minds of his home umpires. However, like Namor who loses some power when he is out of water and likewise Dormammu outside the Dark Dimension, Imran's Mind Stone, which was spiritually based in Pakistan, was unable to control the minds of umpires in other countries. Imran used the Reality Stone to alter the laws of physics thus enabling the old ball to swing prodigiously when it had no business doing so. Infinity Stones can adapt their size and shape to their wielder and when Imran used the Reality Stone, in order to be inconspicuous and not arouse suspicion, it took on the form of an everyday object, a bottle top.

I don't really blame Imran for abusing the Infinity Stones in this fashion because as Lord Acton said, "power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

I mean, I never heard of any Pak player ever denying those claims. And given the Pak umpires of that Era, not so much really.
one funny story i heard about that series was that during that series when imran was off for treatment of his shin. Miandad bari, qadir and sarfraz fought with each other to be captain and umpire said bhai kohi to bano(let someone be captain). That shows how much imran united that team and now wonder they fought like anything after he retired🤣
