Dale Steyn

[maniac]

minnow basher and a tailender bully. .

Sad that, that was one of our weaknesses that we never had one

[Crookbond]

maybe thats why pakistan won a worldcup during that period and india didnt ' date=' inconsequential ,[b'] and we are talking test matches . and yes during that time the likes of jayasurya , attapattapattu , tunga and desilva were a bigger force than the indians , so were haynes , hooper , lara , richardson , martin crowe etc( the best player of reverse swing bowling ) .

How many Test matches has Sri Lanka won in India? Let me give you a hint

if steyn doesnt become a legend and fails to break many Bowling records then kohli wont achieve half of what Tendulkar did.

He is already a legend, best bowler i have seen in my lifetime.

Almost 300 wicket with so good average and one of the best SR in world. He is already an ATG bowler.

[Executioner]

He is already a legend' date=' best bowler i have seen in my lifetime.[/quote'] well 300 isnt that great, when considering 800 wickets being taken by murali now, i truely expect steyn to have at least 600 wickets before he retires, and keep in mind he is a fast bowler and played during an era when test cricket isnt played as much

Can you name one bowler with 300+ wickets and avg below 24, who is not considered great?

[JourneyMan]

He probably felt like he was playing for the Deccan Chargers today.

[Trichromatic]

One more good match for Steyn. He is on 299 now. He will become 25th bowler to take 300 wickets.

Out of the players you mentioned only 2 avg over 45. Lanka were a **** team in tests.Jayasuriya Atapattu Ranatunga wouldnt cross an avg of 40 in tests.LOL. Crowe...A very good batsman yes but hardly the best batsman.Or was he the best as Inzy was the best player of fast bowling.LOL. Anyways Akram is an ATG.The best fast bowler after Marshall.Waqar is a minnow basher who has few very good years playing weaker teams and then when he regularly played stronger teams he was found out.

waqar was not a minnow basher, he dominated west indies when they were the #1 team in the world in test cricket. your lack of cricketing knowledge is really quite shocking.

[hhhhdmt]

akram against the top 4 batting sides (australia, india, south africa, england): 47 matches, 165 wickets at 28.61 akram against the rest (sri lanka, new zealand, west indies, bangladesh, zimbabwe): 57 matches, 249 at 20.30 all time great? i don't think so. look at the difference between the two averages. the guy made a living out of taking cheap wickets against weaker teams and was considerably worse off against the better teams. he was basically a glorified minnow basher and a tailender bully. basically the bowling version of mohammad yoosef. how anyone can call this loser an all time great is beyond me. his bum buddy maqar was even worse, averaging 30.76 against the top 4 batting sides. shwaib aaktaar 31.65. saaklain, mustaq ahmed, qadir, etc. all over 30+ as well under this criteria. and this is inspite of all their ball tampering and cheating shenanigans. pretty embarrassing. imran kahn is the only paki with a legitimate ATG-worthy record against good sides, 205 @ 24.46. but then he was a self-confessed ball tamperer who played in a era when there were only 5 cameras at the stadium, if any, so its a bit difficult to take his figures seriously.

not an all time great? who exactly is an all time great then? many of the best batsmen of the 90's have called Akram as the best bowler they have ever faced, and yet you dismiss him as a minnow basher? akram, imran and waqar are about a thousand times better fast bowlers than india will ever produce.

waqar was not a minnow basher' date=' he dominated west indies when they were the #1 team in the world in test cricket. your lack of cricketing knowledge is really quite shocking.[/quote'] The batting line-up which played in Pakistan in 1990 was best in the world?

[Gunner]

akram' date=' imran and waqar are about a thousand times better fast bowlers than india will ever produce.[/quote'] Lol they would probably average 40 today, with the hd cameras at the ground preventing them from mutilating the ball and cheating. Why do you think pakiland stopped producing phaaasht bowlers? We atleast have a genuine fast bowler, what do you guys have? A trundler called junaid and a proven loser called gul lol.
