dude you'll have a hard time at cricinfo because most people won't share your views.

Why do you think Wasim Akram is the greatest bowler ever?

He says he thinks Gavaskar is the best batsman of all time and you ask him about Wasim??

 

[Furball]

He says he thinks Gavaskar is the best batsman of all time and you ask him about Wasim??

Both points of view are equally ridiculous.

haha.....actually your comments regarding Wasim were the first thing to cross my mind when I read his posts

 

[Bun]

and no shame in that too... the distance. between lahore and amritsar is less than the distance between mumbai and delhi, and london and jo-burg

Samli, it's cricket web not cricinfo.

Murali and Tendy never bestrode the cricket world. They never provided leadership.
So, they scored lots of runs and got lots of wickets. Big deal.

It was Imran Khan who cast his aura and authority throughout the world of cricket and it is for this reason (which compliments his batting/bowling exploits), that he separates himself from the rest and begets the title of greatest Asian cricketer

Disagree massively with this.

of course mate....seems like a baiting attempt

The only thing I'd say Imran was superior to these two was in bowling maidens at will.

I love the comment "scored lots of runs and got lots of wickets. Big deal". Sometimes I wonder if it's cricket or staring contests we're talking about.

lol........I was about to say that Murali was better at bowling maidens but I think I see what you mean ..........

Murali > Imran > Sachin

All very close though.

 

[honestbharani]

Imran > Murali > Sachin for me..
