Who was the better AUSTRALIAN CRICKETER: Akram or McGrath?

[Son Of Coco]

Oh dear, leave the both alone.
I wonder if Wasim had ever debated with himself whether he was better than McGrath (or vice-versa) as much as we have debated.

Wasim wrote in his bioautography that he wished he was Australian. Fact.

Understandable... Had he been born as an Australian, he would have less dropped catches off his bowling and would have been priviledged to bowl more in favorable conditions to pace bowling...besides being exposed to other positive influences like better coaching etc etc...

The grand-finale voting thread should have 3 options:

1. The better cricketer
2. The better Australian cricketer
3. Caps lock gives me multiple orgasms

Actually Geoff Boycott's mum would be the only one to exist despite all these conditions. Her son would have still been a prat though.

Sorry but what had John Snow to do with Imran Khan?

Her son might have been a football coach in that case, introducing a new formation of 10-0-0.

Akram, to answer the OP's question, since he wished to be Australian. Doesn't matter what type of a comparison you do between the two, Akram always comes out better.

John Snow was the one who helped Imran Khan with his run-up and remodeled bowling action and taught him quite a bit about the art of fast bowling

Doesn't matter what type of a comparison you do betwee the two, Akram always comes out better.

Indeed

Imran Khan's autobiography will be helpful in understanding how John Snow's mentoring helped Imran to reinvent himself as the great bowler we know. If Imran's autobiography is anything to go by, then Snow's mentoring played as much part in bowler Imran's formative years as Imran's mentoring in bowler Akram's (and Waqar's) formative years.
