Re: Your TOP 3

And staying on topic who knows what Fazal Mahmood, Pakistan’s first outstanding (fast-medium) bowler, might have achieved had he been born in the right era i.e. post 70s

Re: Your TOP 3

It is not right to consider Imran, Miandad as leading cricketers of 70's. Imran came on the scene in 1971 but really burst as a force in the 1982 tour of England. Miandad came into the team in mid 70's and ruled through the 80's and 90's

Re: Your TOP 3

The Sydney win in 1976 when Imran took 12 wickets!! Imran's peak years were between 1978-1983 >>> stress fracture of ankle >>> 1986-88

Imran made his test debut in 1971
Miandad in 1976. Miandad did not rule through 90s because he played his last test in 1993 and his last ODI in 1996 World Cup

Re: Your TOP 3

Imran really broke through in 1982 and even if we were to accept his peak years were 1978/83 that hardly makes him a 70's best player. he was very very mediocre in his early career and I remember well watching him through the 1974 tour of UK, 75 and 79 world cup and in all these his performances were nothing to shout about. Taking 12 wickets in 76 or one or two more matches does not make you top in that decade, even Sarfraz had a few memorable matches in 70's.

Re: Your TOP 3

Even Miandad did not do anything of note in the 1975, 79 and 83 world cups but he did perform in the 1987 and 1992 world cups. And in 1996 he was well past his prime as a batsman
