Glenn Mcgrath , Mark Taylor , Michael Slater and Marks Nicholas rates Wasim Akram as the best bowler in the world. I edited this video for all the fans of Wasim Akram who like me think that Wasim Akram is the best left arm fast bowler of All Time.

Was is the best bowler of the last 40 years.
Very cerebral cricketer, wish he was playing now. used to get disconcerting bounce even from a very short runup. McGrath was right . Akram was the complete package who had the rare ability to take the pitch out of the equation. Along with Michael holding my all time fav cricketer. Bumrah and all the other present day bowlers do not come anywhere close to this man.
What about Malcolm Marshall
Seriously….commentary of wanna be cricketers…..
Wasim Akram. The only left arm pacer who should automatically make a post war XI. A true all timer and a funny, relatable character to boot. An enduring warrior just like his great mentor Imran.
Wasi was unbelieveable, but Malcolm was the greatest fast bowler in my eyes, certainly better than the chucker.
No doubt """Wasim Akram"" is the greatest fast bowler in history of cricket.Wasim Akram's international wicket 916 but if he get Australia or South African fielding his total wicket reached easily 1200 +.
Just amazing!
Akram and Malcolm Marshall were the two best bowlers I’ve ever seen. And Waqar Younis bowled the best ever spell of bowling I’ve ever seen
It looks, he does not rate Akram here in this video,
When was this recorded?
Akram was all class so much variation …when we see these now we know the value then
WAQAR AND WASIM AT THEIR POMP WERE ON ANOTHER LEVEL. PEOPLE FORGET JUST HOW GOOD WAQAR WAS WITH THE LATE SWING STRAIGHT AT THE WICKET….
INCREDIBLE HOW HE MADE THE BALL SWING IN THE AIR.
Well McGrath is so humble there actually if anyone he is the one who is better than Akram
Wasim Akram deserves all the praise and you're not wrong if he is your #1. Was a treat to watch and was very handy with the bat. I couldn't say a bad word about his cricket skills.
My top 5 pace bowlers and I hate leaving so many legends out.
1. Glenn McGrath
2. Curtly Ambrose
3. Malcolm Marshall
4. Wasim Akram
5. Dale Steyn
Pollock,Walsh,Gillespie, Jimmy Anderson, Bond, Gough,Lee, Flintoff deserve some respect too.
Now it’s bumrah
Akram was a legendary bowler. So was the great Imran Khan
Wasim akram is AAL time Great bowler
WASIM AKRAM THE LEGEND❤
As a Bangladeshi, I love Wasim too but you'd think he's father of India the way Indians are riding him in the comments 🤣🤣
🎉🎉🎉but I think they ignoring one of the most consistent speed star waqar younus. He was genius and totally master class with his pace and Yorkers.
well much like lara as a batsman , Akram was the best looking bowler to watch agree. later id put Bond but earlier id have Hadlee there as an appealing bowler to watch off the shorter runup but became the greatest bowler ever imo better than marshall.
Malcom marshal and wasim akram
Slater-Mark Tailor-McGrath-Marks Nicholas is talking about Wasim's greatness as a Pacer. what could be the best proof of Wasim after this!
hadlee was better
To all the youngsters here: you never saw Richard Hadlee, Dennis Lillee.
I never saw Harold Larwood, but he discomfited and reduced – in that Ashes of 1932-33 – Don Bradman to an average of 56. For that reason I would rate Larwood the greatest. The Windians too aimed deliberately at the batsman but Gavaskar averaged over 60 against them. Nah, these shorts are narcissist or hero-worship at best. If only today's fasties could learn from the Bodyline series videos – Larwood on predictable concrete-like pitches reducing the greatest batsman of all time to only a single century and 3 fifties in 8 innings – we might see some improvement to fast bowling, for those Windies and Aussies focused on brute force lacking finesse. All the batsmen of the last 60 years would have at least 2 runs knocked off their batting averages.
Waseem akram is the best bowler in the world
Wasim changed his run up and action since his debut n initial days n always was best bowler for me
Wasim is the greatest and another one is standing right with u , Glenn McGrath…both r greatest..
Really enjoyed the battle between sachin McGrath and sachin wasim..
Shoaib Akhtar is the fastest bowler in the history of Cricket.
How blessed these boys are seriously i am amazed by the international players..no matter cricket or teniss or soccer…they r all blessed
there is no match with wasim akram he is the class of class
Wasim and waqar both are amazing but Wasim was a exceptional bowler.
Unfortunetly Asif and Amir both are Great loss for Pakistan Cricket otherwise After Wasim and Waqar these two are also amazing Specially Asif was a Exceptional bowler.
McGrath stats are better than Wasim but since Wasim played more matches, he topped the chart.
