Waqar Younis - was he really that good?

[khancharsi]

"May be he would have said that to himself once' ok guys,u dont take catches, no problem and umpire dont give out, thats no problem at all and even if you remove 2 of the 3 stumps, i will still get you out man'.....

this could only be done by waqar........................."

couldn't have said any better... Waqar is one of the all time greats

[Captain]

In my opinion he is one of the best players Pakistan has produced, master of reverse swing and not a very handy batsman, he was not a bad captain either, it was just his bad luck that our team was so inconsistant back than.
I also think he should be brought in as a assistant coach to Bob and work with the bowlers.

Waqar's career is similar to Botham's.Both were outstanding cricketers who for a few years were as good as anybody else on the planet.Both had back problems.Both were picked for far too long by their countries solely on their reputation not what their performances merited.If both players had retired 5 years earlier through injury and not struggled on they would have an even greater aura than they do now.
