Wasim is very surely ahead of Lillee and Trueman for me (especially Trueman) and very arguable with Ambrose and Imran.

How much did slip cordons affect McGrath's and Wasim's records?

The main impediment to Tendulkar doing better in that series was he couldn't cope with the captaincy owing to his mental fragility. The Adealide lbw was out every day of the week. Cry more.

Captaincy had little effect on his batting form.

Tendulkar won the MoTS in that series..... You can do better than defending some of those outs; like venting on the current Aussies missing out the semis for the Afghans.....

Nah he was nowhere near mots, was a sympathy vote like Vaughan in 02/03. If you’re playing among utter filth then anything half decent stands out.

MoTS MoTS MoTS...... Whatever, anyone with eyes could had seen they weren't outs. But on point with Aussie game; with fair umpiring they can't even win against India at home anymore......

I think if Pant plays and is near his best you guys will still be favourites. Our top order looks meh and Marsh will probably start at six so am not sold on that line up against India’s bowlers across a whole seriesWhat has happened to you ?

Just to highlight, if we assume that Wasim suffered an extra drop once every three games, with those extra wickets Wasim's average jumps down to 21 and SR of 50 with a healthy 4+ WPM. Suddenly he compares very well with top tiers.
Point being he may have been even more excellent than we are taking him for.

Or if Pakistan had good slip fielders , Akram wouldn’t have developed his killer yorkers .

Nobody is arguing here for Akram being better than McGrath. But the inherent bias against those pacers who may not have had the best support to succeed.

Our batting is also highly questionable. And Cummins is a very good Test captain. I this you guys start as favourites 60-40 .

Unlikely. Yorkers are an effect of needing to pitch it up to generate late reverse swing. Even with great fielders you aren't giving many slip catches after the new ball.

Whatever, was just trying to get a reaction out of you.
