Very very underrated odi bowler.... first Indian bowler I saw who could bowl quick inswinging yorkers regularly.... even though that would be sorrounded by a couple of full tosses and a couple of half volleys before and after. Jokes Apart incredible athlete and fielder and also a handy bat. 100 at Lords and a match winning innings against Lanka in Sharjah who used to be our bogey team then and also had the fastest 50 by an Indian batsman in ODis for a while where other sweet memories of the original “sir” Edited December 4, 2017 by maniac Mosher, Laaloo and King Tendulkar 3 Link to comment

That test helped Dravid, Laxman & Ganguly's legacy big time. Especially Ganguly's legacy. Those 3 owe Sir Aggy big time.

Pollack Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Agarkar comes across an outspoken, honest and straight forward person. Sir Aggy should be a selector. King Tendulkar, Laaloo, Mosher and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment

Khota Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 This thread reminds me of some other forum where they make it a habit of belitteling Indian bowler and batsman. We are better than that. Link to comment

I love Agarkar. He has more integrity than all Indian cricket players. He freely speaks his mind and tell the unpleasant truth. By my definition he was abetter sportsman than lot of players. All said and done he was at best a very average cricket player. Link to comment
