Re: Tanvir--the closest thing to Wasim Akram?(Probably too early to say, but anyway..
A very very mediocre bowler at his best.
In the 20/20 cricket, any one can take wickets as the batsman is forced to play his shots left and right. To a lesser extent, the same phenomenon can also be extended to the 50/50 cricket. But the test cricket is a totally different animal in which the greatness of a bowler is measured by his ability to “force” batsman to commit mistakes. I simply don’t see Sohail Tanveer getting wickets in the test cricket as he lacks both variety and speed. His biggest asset – the unpredictability of his action - will soon become his biggest liability once international batsmen figure out his action properly. But he can definitely become a successful all-rounder for ODI.
