Number Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 What a comedy thread. Should be deleted. What an insult to Akram. This is worse than comparing Inzi with SRT. Being compared to the great Sir Aggy is an honour any all rounder. I am sure Wasim would be elated after seeing thread like this. Link to comment

veer Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Not to mention Agarkar managed to out-stat Akram even though he was a good 6 inch shorter. Wickets per inch Agarkar beats Akram pants down. :haha::haha::cantstop: Link to comment
kosingh Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 As an all rounder, I have to admit Wasim is better. Simply because Agarkar, as a batter, was Bombay Duck. And Wasim could strike a few lusty blows. But purely as a bowler? I'll go with Agarkar by a whisker. Link to comment
AmreekanDesi Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 True...A few people think that Wasim was more talented and TBH he had his few moments too ( I always think Wasim is like Joginder Sharma in LOI - both had their moments in greatest stage) but Agarkar was in a different league altogether....Agarkar also never used bottle caps or fixed matches...nor was he spotted smoking marijuana...so on an ethical scale, there is no comparison anyways.... Agarkar >>>>>Wasim IMO in LOI... so if he didn't fix matches his stats would be even better? Link to comment
Gunner Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Not to mention Agarkar managed to out-stat Akram even though he was a good 6 inch shorter. Wickets per inch Agarkar beats Akram pants down. 100 at Lords, single handed match winning 6fer at Adelaide. Wasim was a decent bowler no doubt, but Agarkar was in different league. I'd say they are about the same. Although most batsmen think that Agarkar had more talent than Wasim, at least some others feel that Wasim was better. This is one of those great debates in cricket in the last 25 years. Similar to Tendulkar or Lara? Richie Benaud's commentary to Tony Greig? Coke or Pepsi? People are always going to be divided over this. :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: Link to comment

Kalia_Test Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Wasim all eager to pick up bowling tips ( especially reverse swinging yorkers) from an ever cheerful and helpful Agarkar. Wasim knew that all other bowlers were competing for only the 'NEXT' best slot and wearing it on his shirt to remind himself. Link to comment

Wasim knew that all other bowlers were competing for only the 'NEXT' best slot and wearing it on his shirt to remind himself. Indians are too nice. They have bigger hearts than Pakistanis. I don't see the need for Agarkar to teach Akram any bowling tricks whatsoever. Yet, he does, even though he knows that Pakistan is the enemy, and one day, Pakistani fast bowlers might use those tricks against India. Can you imagine the uproar in Pakistan if a Pakistani bowler was teaching Indians how to bowl? Link to comment

Cricket_Hacker Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Agarkar was useless in tests the true test of a bowler. He didn't get enough chances Not enough sample size Link to comment
kosingh Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Agarkar was useless in tests the true test of a bowler. More than useless in tests, I would say he was unfortunate in tests. His test numbers don't justify his once in a generation talent. But what he did do in tests was create a lot of pressure- in the sense that just by knowing that Agarkar was in the opposition lineup, batsmen came into the game very intimidated. In this way, Ajit made bowlers look a lot better than they were. Just through the psychological pressure and fear he created. Link to comment
Ranvir Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 26 test matches at an average of almost 50 is plenty of chances. He was the Mohammad Sami of India. Good in ODI but hopeless in test matches. It's far easier to take wickets when batsmen have to take more risks and score at a higher run rate. Link to comment

Rightarmfast Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Is this even a debate? Do we need to discuss Aggy's greatness with mediocre bowlers? express bowling 1 Link to comment
