Looking at the other recent thread on Sir Aggie, I felt like bumping this thread which is proving something hilarious :cantstop:

Stats wise Agarkar looks better than Akram. But stats never tell you the whole story. Akram is a Legend, simple as that. A league above Agarkar and others.

[Rightarmfast]

It was only towards the initial years of his career that Agarkar was phenomenal. After the first 2 yrs, it was downhill for Agarkar, if I am not mistaken. Legend is someone who can maintain the consistency over a prolonged period of time. Otherwise, indeed Afridi would be a better batsman than Sachin. Whilst theres no doubt that Agarkar had it in him to be one of the Indian greats as far as ODI's is concerned, Akram was in a league of his own. Nobody in India compares Agarkar to Srinath, let alone Wasim. Having said that, I do have immense respect for Agarkar. With the frail physique he had, he still could generate pace consistently. Had he been given proper guidance, he could have even led the Indian ODI attack.

Hardly 10-11 players have more wickets than Agarkar and you say that he wasn't good for prolonged period of time? 288 wickets are not less by any means.

[Rightarmfast]

Yeah, surely 288 wickets are not less by any stretch of imagination. However, when the first 50 wickets come in your first 24 matches and it takes years to get the rest, then there definitely is a problem ! Btw, by saying this, are you actually trying to say that Agarkar indeed was comparable to Akram ? Or you merely just want to pick on my post ? Most of the times, Aggy was a liability on the team. He was way too incosistent to be called a decent bowler, let alone a good bowler ! With an economy of over 5 in ODI, you got to ask yourself if he was seriously good for a prolonged period or not !

Akram+Waqar couldn't win their side a game against the best Aussie team , while Agarkar did it single handed. So I'd say yes. :P

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: This thread is legendary. Agarkar>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Akram

[Ithyphallic]

If Zaheer is unfit for the Aussie tour, send Agarkar... Just sayin' :)

[Lord]

normally a great player's presence in the dressing room lifts the team morale,but Agarkar's so great even his absence is morale boosting Aggy>>>>>>>>>Akram

[thongale]

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.

Soundys eeire:--D

[saneindian]

For those elephantine ears on a lanky frame, Agarkar>>>>>>>>Akram.

[Ultimate_Game]

Sir Agarkar is a living legend and could walk in the national team if he so desires :hatsoff:

[orasparkle]

We only said He is more talented than Akram. Not he is more talented than other Indian bowlers :--D

How many of those are cheap wickets when people are trying to hit him out of the park?

[Pagalpanti]

Sir Aggy :hatsoff:
