Well..this rating only represents highest rating one would have achieved at a particular time in his career had this rating been their from begining. Considering Wasim has played for 10 yrs and was always bolwing good, then 57 ranking means good. This means he was consistant all the time. He may not have been as devestating in any series as Imran was in 1983 but he was always delivering.
