Is Vaas into the next round yet?

 

[PhoenixFire]

Should be, ask SS.

 

[silentstriker]

Vaas through comfortably

Waqar Younis
87 matches, 373 wickets @ 23.56, SR 43.49, 22 five wicket hauls, 5 ten wicket hauls

vs.

Kapil Dev
Batting: 131 tests @ 31.05, 8 centuries, 27 fifties, HS: 163
Bowling: 131 tests, 434 wickets @ 29.64, SR 63.91, 23 five-wicket hauls, 2 ten-wicket hauls

 

[Matt79]

Kapil Dev. Underrated these days I feel.

 

[Poker Boy]

Tough choice but Kapil Dev

 

[nightprowler10]

Its quite even for me here. I'll let my bias take over here and vote Waqar.

 

[silentstriker]

Surprising, I thought Waqar would win it running away. The man has the best strike rate of any bowler in history (200 wickets+).

At one point, the man had an ungodly S/R of 36.

 

[nightprowler10]

Agreed, but people tend to look at whole careers.

 

[bagapath]

Kapil Dev. Had he been up against Akram I would have found it tough.

 

[Matt79]

Kapil meant more to India IMO. And if we're looking at sections of careers, the first part of his career with the ball was a great deal better than his eventual average implies.

 

[Dasa]

Kapil Dev.

 

[Buddhmaster]

Waqar, love him.

Waqar

Waqar Younis.

[Dravid]

Kapil Dev

 

[BoyBrumby]

Have to go with my boy Waqar. Insane bowler at his peak; no one to touch him.

 

[TT Boy]

The prerequisite when talking about Waqar...
