undoubtably wasim akram is the greatest bowler of all time.
plenty of reasons are behind this conclusion.if the ability of a bowler is taken into account , there is no one comparable to akram.
his record is great.but record is not all that to be seen to designate a player.many people say that warne is better than murali, because warne is from australia where the pitch helps him a little.so, why not this reason is taken in respect of akram? akram is from the indian sub continent, where nothing favours him,except the reverse swing.i wonder what would have been the record of akram if he came from australia or west indies, where the bowlers get much priviledges.no one can produce the balls that he produced in his cricketing career.
so, wasim is far better than any one else.

"where nothing favours him,except the reverse swing.i wonder what would have been the record of akram if he came from australia or west indies, where the bowlers get much priviledges"
Had he come from Australia, he would have settled into the team as a classical left arm swing bowler. In other words, he became a quick bowler with unconventional abilties because he came from Pakistan.
The world of cricket can not provide the bowler better than Wasim Akram, it is the universal truth.
From Muhammad Muneeb Aslam
"What ever the pitch condition of subcontinent is, he proved by his performance. By saying that pitches from subcontinent help bowlers thatswhy he has good record then why don't every bowler from subcontinent having the same caliber?" Excuse me but did yasin just say akram is far better than warnie and even murilai is beter murili chucks while akram is over 200 wickets behind warnie mates warnies the best ever bowler
[edit] POV
I hate to put the pov tag back on this page but I don't see I have a choice. The article seems to be highly partisan and is littered with highly POV statements and unverified claims. --LiamE 15:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- The NPOV issues have been addressed by Cherry Blossom Tree so removing tag. Still a couple of cites needed though. --LiamE 15:54, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Surprisingly, no one has ever mentioned match fixing. I have added it under "controversies" section. Forgot to sign. Zs31
[edit] Photo
The photo as it stands isn't acceptable for Wikipedia use, and may well get deleted. Simply asserting that the copyright holder allows it to be used for any purpose is not good enough; a source, and evidence of its copyright status, must be given. If this is not forthcoming the photo will have to go. I know this sounds harsh, but it's vitally important that we stay within WP:Copyrights. Loganberry (Talk) 14:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

- That's a shame, especially for such an important player... it's so hard to get photos of cricketers, so I understand the attraction of using photos like that - but we simply cannot do it. If by some chance anyone reading this has a photo of Wasim they'd be willing to upload under an acceptable licence (GFDL, some Creative Commons licences or public domain) then it would be very welcome.
