Alan Border was one of Wasim's heroes growing up. Such high praise from his hero shows that he achieved true greatness. One of my favourite cricketers of all time.
lol and i always watched sachin n said the same if this one batsman was in pakistan team the cricket would ve been different for pakistan..... my all time fav bowler is wasim and i ve never saw a champion batsman lyk Sachin who dominated the most skillful and dangerous bowling of his era
@@jurist2327 Dominated ? Sachin dominated the most skillfull bowling ? 😂😂 How much do u guys overrate sachin. Go and see his record against Skillfull Bowlers such as Wasim, Mcgrath, pollard. He has the worst track record against skill bowling, he has achieved most of the records by scoring runs against weak bowlers.
@@jurist2327 Go and see sir viv richards who literally dominated the most dangerous bowling unlike sachin who mostly scored against weak bowlers, and appeared joker infront of skillfull bowlers such as Wasim, Mcgrath, Donald, Malinga and Saqlain the magician too.
Only if they had DRS back then and fielders wouldn't have let him down on so many occasions His wickets tally would've been much more impressive than what it is now
@@riyu_my_princess Wasim Akram himself said that him and waqar had to create 20 chances to get 10 wickets because so many chances were wasted by fielders
The umpires missed a lot of his no balls which would have been a problem with DRS. Not to take anything away from the great left armer tho. He was the best
Arguably the best, versatile and obscenely gifted fast bowler to grace planet earth. For me he just dream walks into the all-time best team in all 3 formats _ Test, oneday and t_20 . A magician who literally made the ball " talk". And the icing on the cake is his cool, humble persona. Take a bow Wasim Bhai. My respect as an Indian fan.
@@irshadbhat6055 that's true..in Bangladesh wasim & rest of the Pakistan players are very popular & most of the people support Pakistan after Bangladesh.
Akram has to be most skillful bowler that ever played the game. Can't think of anyone with all the abilities that he had. Some who could do particular things better but no one with the full range of tricks he had. There was no fast bowling skill he didn't possess. Quite remarkable!
He had the pace, the swing, the variation, the line, the length, the bouncers and the deadliest Yorkers. He could swing the old ball as well as the new ball. The most complete bowler.
@Happy Ness Akram probably troubled him the most out of all the bowlers. Let's not forget India didn't play proper cricket with Pakistan for almost a decade, other than world cup games, and those tournaments in dead pitches like Sharjah and Canada. Even in the 2003 world cup where Sachin smashed all of Pakistan, Wasim was the only one that did not get smashed, and even had a drop catch of Sachin. At the age of 37 lol.
@@Warlock786 If AbD played for India ,maybe he would hav been worshipped. Indian public don't worship all superstars. Only selected few like Sachin ,Abd ,Dhoni etc. Kallis has better record ,but not worshipped in India.
I met him at Lords when I went to watch a Pakistan v Australia one day warm up game before a world cup and I'm not going to lie, I was starstruck! He was my sporting hero back in those days ! I genuinely think he's the greatest bowler in history!
A real genius sportsman. The man could do absolutely anything with the ball. Magician. No ways todays batsmen could score runs like they do against bowlers of his skill and class.
What a great cricketer Wasim was so much skill with the ball just a master bowler, could bat a bit too, to this day he still commands the respect he deserves, and to top it off he is one of the most decent respectful blokes I've heard in interviews, loves his cricket still and has time and respect for everyone, his master class with Waqar was brilliant and so in depth, Nick Knight was in awe listening to him explain his technique, and you could see his total admiration for Wasim was still huge. I hope Wasim you stay in great health and have a long retirement cos you deserve it for the way you mastered your game and became arguably the greatest cricketer of your time.
Botham said he would have to think a long time before coming up with a better Left arm bowler ...he is still thinking cause there is no one else.. 🤔Anyone got a name for. better fast bowler in history of cricket than Wasim I am ears.. well? Thought so.
Wasim Waqar followers and students Shaheen Afridi and Harris rauf are not bad either nowadays. Lethal bowling attack. Trying best to make their masters happy.
Unfortunately only ever had the privilege of hearing Bumble speak on vids. But his description of being hit in the nuts by thommo is priceless. 1 of the funniest things I've ever heard. A very funny man Bumble is 👍
It seems Sachin had no intentions to admire his bowling skills. He just tried to confuse the interviewer by admiring his batting and bowling skills equally and did it deliberately. Not even a stupid cricket fan would mention his batting skills before his bowling capability. Anyway, I am not surprised as he even rated H Cronje as the toughest bowler he has faced when he has played against the likes of Great W's, Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, Shoib Akhtar, Murli, Allan Donald, Dale Steyn, Imran Khan, Shoib Akhtar, Saqlain, Aasif, Ambrose, Walsh , Anderson and the list is long. Some people justify his opinion to rate Cronje as toughest bowler as Cronje used to surprise him because of his extraordinary ability to read the intentions of the batsman. But because of this single ability it seems illogical to rate him better than the legendary bowlers of that era.
What a stupid mentality, Sachin never said Cronje is best bowler, he always said, he was the bowler who troubled him lot. Sachin always praise every cricketer, I never seen he said negative about any cricketer. If you compare Sachin and Wasim head to head record, out of 25 odi Wasim got him 3 times only, in 7 test twice. This is very ordinary record. But it doesn’t mean Wasim was less bowler or Sachin was better, it’s more about how they battled in field.
Wisden has already come out with its verdict, akram happens to be the only pak cricketer in the almanac's dream 11 published on its 150th anniversary. So, asking further what any xyz cricketer thought of wasim akram is unnecessary.
Goosebumps! Nostalgia! Oh. Good old days! The world was calm, cricket was calm, and everything had a charm and class of its own. Today's world is chaos. So is today's cricket. Loved that shout "Howzee". Spent my childhood in a country side; Sundays would be so charming with the shouts of "Hawzzat" coming from a distance. We would pack our books and head towards the playground to watch a game. ❤❤❤
When wasim was playing it was like if he couldn't win a match he must have fixed it. That was a mentality of pakistanis. It shows how good was wasim but also people were expecting unrealistic miracles from him in every match.
Bro he was an unbelievable cricketer and yes he won matches for Pakistan on his own. But how can one forget his match fixing past and let that slide. He along with other Pakistani and many others from other nations have been let off due to there skill and name.
One of the finest to have played the game. He could bowl six different balls in an over! He had the speed, swing, guile and the versatality of a great bowler. The best left arm paceman in my book
Not only a fantastic player, but a lovely, lovely bloke as well. I took exception to Tim de Lisle saying that Lancastrians regarded Waz as ‘almost one of their own’. He IS one our own. Every, single Lancastrian cricket fan would say the same. We’d also claim Sir Clive Lloyd and Farokh Engineer as OURS, too. But Wasim Akram… he’s something else. He’s LOVED.
Wasim Akram Best bowler in the world. He destroyed sachin tendulkar, steve waugh, adam gilchrist, matthew hayden, sourov ganguly, rahul dravid, mark waugh brain lara with all batsman. He is genious. He is king of bowler.
ESPN Cricinfo ranked akram as the 21st greatest cricketer of all-time. Wisden voted him as the greatest ODI bowler of all-time. He's the only pakistani and one of the only two players from the subcontinent(the other being Sachin Tendulkar) to be selected in Wisden Cricket Almanack's All-Time Dream XI on the 150th Anniversary of the magazine's publication. As a cricketer overall, I think akram can very well be ranked in the top-15 greatest ever.
However, in this age of cricket, the best left-arm bowlers have come and are also taking advantage with the help of technology. But the man who, through his hard work, invents himself and puts it into practice, becomes a king and I am proud that I also belong to the homeland of this great player whom the world knows as Wasim Akram.
In my dream 11 of all time, Wasim Akraam and Malcom Marshall will strike from both ends. I'l give them 4-5 overs at the start and 2 or 3 in the middle. Few teams can survive thereafter!
Alan Border was one of Wasim's heroes growing up. Such high praise from his hero shows that he achieved true greatness. One of my favourite cricketers of all time.

He is having a double century in test
250 highest in test and 85 in odi
