Junaid bowled beautifully the other day but Aamir (naturally gifted + had that x-factor) was better than both Junaid (can still improve) and Wahab imo. For starters Aamir was more pacy than both
Let's not act like some of these commentators whose views can change like weather in the same game (depending on which way the game is heading).
Agree with PD, consistency is the key
yep aamir was special....very special.....more pacy...plus aamir had a better action, which allowed him to get more swing...in many ways he even had a better action than akram...such an assured run up and swift side-on action......plus he mastered the control of the ball through smart wrist position thus getting so much swing both ways......plus he was a very clever bowler....hayee aamir! kaya kar diya tu nay.......there is a reason why holding was crying...ask any fast bowler and he will tell you how special aamir was.....what a loss but he deserves to be out
wahab is not even in competition...he just hits the deck hard with no noticeable swing....some reverse swing with the old ball as he can ball quick in the air...he will continue in and out of team....lacks temperament as well......
junaid has lately started to swing the ball both ways....he has made slight technical modification to his action as well...he now has a bit more "quick arm" action....is learning fast...he is here to stay
and on irfan...dont kill me but my prediction is that he will not play for pakistan for long....started too late, fitness will be an issue with this gigantic structure...has quick side arm action with bounce but no smart use of wrist yet....also I am not sure of him on dead pitches...we will see...he must go to SA
i wish wasim or waqar work on these bowlers on full time basis......
the more we talk about junaid's brilliancy, the more we make a case for dhoni's MOM award...after all it was dhoni who faced Junaid's brilliancy, neutralized him and in the end kicked every one's ass including junaid!!! hene MOM goes to Dhoni....
as waleed said, then MOM should be given to Misbah for making a match out of it :D
Thanks to Misbah he wanted to make a match out of it else India would have been bundled out for 140

Aamir is in the league of the two W's and Imran, Junaid is a very good bowler.
Yes its awesome but only if he had played for 2 3 years and then maintained that record I would have said him that he is in Wasim Waqar's league but not now he lost his peak to spot fixing i can say he was most talented young cricketer ever
