61 wkts in 14 matches tells me a lot. It tells me that he is atleast as good as Kapil dev. When the rest of your bowling resources are depleted, one guy can do the major cleanup. So why do we keep under-estimating Gul? He is good enough to stand up shoulder to shoulder with other bowling greats.
Re: how good is Gul?
Don't call him great or legend, please.
He is a very good bowler. Let him play 50 tests, then we will compare him with anyone. For now, he is the future of Pakistan along with Asif.
Re: how good is Gul?
Gul is good and will serve us well in future.

Re: how good is Gul?
Mr. fair_&_balance does not like to compare current players with the old legands. But the fact is, you are good when you are still ascending, not when you are over the hill. You are likely to be dangerous when you are going up, not when you have a big resume of past achievements. Based on that I find gul as good as any, on all accounts (61 wkts, in 14 tests. avg 4.55 wkts per match. 14 matches is not a small sample)
Re: how good is Gul?
Gul is awesomeeeeeeee:jhanda:
Re: how good is Gul?
^^ tum log us ko bhi naazar laga do gaye Rana ki tarha ![]()
Re: how good is Gul?
Gul and Asif are the future. We need to find a third genuine quick bowler, because haters like ehsan bhai won't let Shoaib stay in the team for long :o .
Re: how good is Gul?
Me hate Shoaib, never :no:
Re: how good is Gul?

You do realize that Imran was a far, far better bowler than Kapil, right?
Re: how good is Gul?
I think most would consider the following ten to be the best fast bowlers of all times (order is not relevant)
Michael Holding
Richard Hadlee
Wasim Akram
Dennis Lilly
Waqar Younus
Melcome Marshal
Courtney Walsh
Glenn McGrath
Imran Khan
Curtly Ambrose
Re: how good is Gul?
Oh man, I missed Andy Roberts. I would replace Hadlee with Andy then.
Sarfraz ? ... are you kidding me?
Re: how good is Gul?
No …don’t you know he is the one who invented the art of “REVERSE SWING”
