Akmal Brothers vs Marsh Brothers?

[Amjid Javed]

Watching the two Marsh brothers look shockingly woeful in this test series against Pakistan and in a few series before this as well they would give Kamran Akmal and Umar a run for their money as one of the worse pairing of brothers to play international cricket at same time.

Who is the worst ever pair of brothers to play international cricket?

Also best pair of brothers to play together?

A list below of brothers that pop in mind that that have played together.

Steve Waugh and Mark Waugh.
Ian Chappell and Greg Chappell.
Andy Flower and Grant Flower.
Mohinder Amarnath and Surinder Amarnath.
Kamran Akmal & Umar Akmal
Shaun Marsh and Mitchell Marsh.
Imran and Humayan Farhat
Hanif, Mushtaq and Sadiq muhammed
Wasim and Rameez Raja

 

[Executioner]

Hamish and Xavier Marshall
Tamim Iqbal and Nafis Iqbal

I would argue the following deserve a shout as some of the better brother pairs:

Crowe Brothers
Hussey Brothers
Peter and Gary Kirsten
Peter and Graeme Pollock might have gone down as the greatest and most versatile if South Africa wasn't barred from cricket.

I would choose anyone from Waugh, Chappell, Mohammad, and Pollock brothers for the greatest. Mohammads get in because 4 of them played test cricket and the Pollocks for the potential and their versatility.

The worst on that list is definitely the Farhat brothers. But you go into Zimbabwe and you can find a few pairs that may be worse:

Strangs
Rennies
Masakadzas
Marshall brothers from NZ
