Thats why these rankings are such a hoax.Yousuf is no way near to Javed Miandad,Inzamam,Saeed Anwar .They are all faced some finest bowling and did so well. Especially Anwar he was so good against top quality pace bowling .Inzamam,had he been there Pakistan wouldn't have collapsed like a deck of cards against a mediocre Sl attack. And Javed Miandad,such a loud mouth,but what a gutsy player.Had he been in this era would have averaged 70.Now look at Yousuf talented he may be,but now way the best test batsman.
Imran is the best not because of the ratings ,because he was the best against the best sides of his time,best batting line ups of his time.He had a long peak as well.He deserved to be there .And Wasim was the backbone of the Pkaistan team,thats why people hate him for not playing in the 96QF.Yes Waqar was there,but the lack of presence of Wasim made Indians feel better .I am an Indian and I can attest that.He was more than ratings,wickets and averages.He can bring wickets from the other end.No exaggeration,it is a fact.He was always mean,accurate,put tremendous pressure on the batsmen with his immaculate varieties.Without him Pakistan team always looked light weight.He brought confidence. I saw his multiple unplayable spells beating the batsmen again and again not fetching any wickets,wheras other expensive bowlers who get thrashed all over the park get wickets. One has to watch the game to undersatnd his greatness.
No wonder those top batsmen,peers rate him as the best.
