King Tendulkar Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Keep this thread to showing the level of moronity that you are going to come up with to show Waqar 'shiver in boots' Younis is greater than McGrath. It would be more fun if you try and prove sydney barnes is better the waqar younis! Then we can discuss the video footage of some of your heroes from the 30s! Me thinks you were slightly dissapointed with the video footage when it appeared. As it did not live up to the billing pumped up by wisden and oldies accounts!:--D Always hurtful when heroes prove to be a let down!
