Waqar Younis vs Javed Miandad

[PlayerComparisons]

Who is the third greatest Pakistani cricketer?

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Younis. Better peak

 

[kyear2]

Younis Khan not an option?

Yep, Younis Khan is better than Miandad for me. Waqar vs him a lot closer

Miandad criminally underrated in this forum. An ATG bat. Above Younis and Younis.

Waqar > Miandad > Younis

Yeah Miandad as "jugaadu" a cricketer as any to have come out of the SC, especially for his time Younis post-95 will always color the feats of his early years.

Waqar > Miandad > Younis

Younis for me is first, unsure of the order of the other 2.

Well I don't compare bowlers and bats like this.

However, for me Imran is at the top of the heap as a Pakistani bowler, and Miandad at the top as a Pakistani bat. No wonder the greatest accomplishments in both forms of the game were done by sides including both of them.

Wasim then Waqar next up for bowlers for mine.

Younis Khan the next standout batsman.

Waqar and Miandad were both top draw. Waqar pre-injury was clearly the fastest and most destructive quick in the world. I give a slight edge to the T1 ATG pacer.

He was a very good batsman (an insufferable asshole as a person) but was also one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Shakoor Rana/Khizar Hayat Charity Foundation.

Wouldn't quite place him T1, but understood.

Bishop was at his fastest at around that time as well? As I recall, both were seriously rapid.

 

[number11]

Yes, both were incredible. Both were sadly ruined by injury.
