I think Mel Gibson would have been a better legend. He did not use his ball though, does that count ? :confused:

Re: ESPN Legend no 21

Wasim Akram is the best left arm fast bowler ever to grace cricket..........enough said

Re: ESPN Legend no 21

what about waqar younis

Re: ESPN Legend no 21

When the two W's were at their peak I think Waqar was more lethal and devastating (with his fast toe-crushing inswinging yorkers) than Wasim but the latter always had more variety in his armoury. Because of his quick arm action, Wasim could generate great pace from a very short run-up

Sir Donald Bradman called Wasim Akram the best left handed fast bowler of them all.

No Brian Lara on the top 25 list?

Re: ESPN Legend no 21

I don’t why people keep refering to Bradman’s comments regarding Wasim Akram. There haven’t been alot of great left arm fast bowlers in the history of the game, so calling him the greatest left arm fast bowler isn’t saying much.

Re: ESPN Legend no 21

lets put a full stop to this and leme just say that who came up with the inswinging yorkers? waqar and who invented the reverse swing? wasim

so the conclusion is that they both were he bombs and why they were put on the pitch was to blow some wickets, and they did that and did their job, so stop comparing em they were both equally top class in what talent and skill they possessed.

Re: ESPN Legend no 21

Sarfaraz is the inventer or atleast the one who used reverse swing lethally, not Wasim. Wasim may have invented some type of match fixings but this area was also lead by Salim Malik.
