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”

That test helped Dravid, Laxman & Ganguly's legacy big time. Especially Ganguly's legacy.

 

Those 3 owe Sir Aggy big time.

I always had a soft spot for aggy but that alone bumped him into one of my fav cricketers list.....Sir Aggy for Coach, BCCI admin and selector

Agarkar comes across an outspoken, honest and straight forward person. Sir Aggy should be a selector.

One of a handful of Indian experts who doesn't come across as a BCCI stooge.

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.

Have you read the context of the thread and understood the tone of it

 

Having said that I seriously believe Agarkar was a better “sportsman” than Akram and a better human being by all accounts.

That 50 is still the fastest in ODIs.

Damn that’s a shame...in the IPL era I was expecting  atleast someone to have broken it already ..I was thinking Sehwag broke it at some point but maybe not...Sir Aggy

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.

he was okay in odis (bowling + fielding) but was useless in tests.
