Vaas is a legend of Sri Lankan cricket, but I still feel compelled to vote Akhtar. Pure destruction.

Shoaib Akhtar, though its very close at the moment.

Vaas, you can rely on him, not Shoaib.

Still Shoaib for me. Loved him, hate to see his int'l career end in such a crap manner but I guess he made his own bed. But when you think about the destruction he's caused teams (vs. Ind in 99, Aus back in 2002 and then Eng last year) I can't go past him. One of my favourite players to watch ever.

Oooh, topical! And a pretty close call.
Vaas is an SL legend - a bowler who made the most of his potential...which wasn't all that amazing, if you're going to be brutally honest.
Shoaib, on the other hand, had massive potential, but never fulfilled it consistently. I've got to question how far back the systematic use of certain substances goes.
If you'd asked me yesterday, I'd probably have voted Shoaib.
Today, Vaas.

My hundredth post, and it's a vote for Chaminda
