Diablo, thanks that made me feel real good now that the Ws are gone.

Guys, I didn’t mean to compare Akhtar and Sami to the Ws. You know I’d never be party to such blasphemy. What I was trying to get at was that if the Ws were a once in a lifetime miracle as many people have said here, then what was their motivation to bowl like they did. I mean, what inspired Waqar to aim for the stumps instead of the batsman like the Windies bowlers? As Umair said that stretch Aktar’s performance down under over a number of years and you have Waqar. What made Waqar what he was? How did Wasim master every trick in a fast bowler’s armoury? He was always a step ahead of the batsman. And Waqar was always there for giving the batsman a working over when Wasim was done with the mind games. Who was responsible for bringing together this phenomenon that ravaged the batsmen for over a decade?

I was hoping to perhaps hear a different point of view but I guess we all agree that the Ws were ahead of everyone else by a good mile.

I think it was the 2 W’s natural talent that set them apart from others. But to bring out the best of their talent was Khan Sahib’s influence and guidence that made them a class and in a league of their own. I doubt there was or there will be a pair of DEADLY BOWLING ATTACK of like the 2 W’s, Pakistan is very fortunate to have the 2 W’s. :k:
