Waqar Younis vs Sachin Tendulkar debut battle

[W63L35]

Zaheer Khan (India): 44 wickets in 23 matches.
Alan Donald (South Africa): 38 wickets in 25 matches

So Jaheer is a better bowler than Alan Donald.

Why not.... if Bradman can be #2.... then why not?

 

[Namak_Halaal]

There is no comparison.

Waqar revolutionised the game, end of.

Zaheer Khan (India): 44 wickets in 23 matches.
Alan Donald (South Africa): 38 wickets in 25 matches

So Jaheer is a better bowler than Alan Donald.

No he is not...but since people are using stats to hype up players...I also used the same logic.
By the way keep a watch - more stats coming up

 

[Austin 3:16]

Test matches leading wicket taker list...

 

[kungfu90]

Either way with McGrath and Warne in the lineup he was nothing special..

He was special in that series. Ordinary performances can't get you man of the series against arguably the greatest team of the history. those who followed that series know the reason.

 

[Afridi96]

So Waqar in his last 3-4 years, averaged about 25 with the ball (19 against India) and striked at 38; was clearly class throught his career

 

[bmwduran]

Both way...upward and downward peak. And yes there are others too in that list.

His strike rate never came down, so go figure

 

[bmwduran]

Indeed his career ( i mean the peak) was Short and simple...so never a legend. Though I said it repeated times cricket cant be debated on "Ifs" and "buts", but if Tendu faced Waqar frequently in that era, Waqar's peak would have been even short

Well u are a non serious commentator, your opinion is just about trolling, I am not sure why they r not treating u as a wide ball

 

[bmwduran]

Waqar would be nothing without bottle caps.

So when Zaheer and flintoff swing, it's because of art? when gilly scores a final WC hundred with squash ball, it's pure magic ?
If I were president of icc I would challenge Indian pathetic bowlers, to use whatever they can, they would still not swing like Wakar,

 

[bmwduran]

Why not.... if Bradman can be #2.... then why not?

Please nothing against the holy grail of cricket aka Sachin

 

[bmwduran]

Some hilarious ignorant trolling going on in this thread. )

Trolls are being trolled

 

[Bhaijaan]

Was Waqar really 19 then?
