I chose Qadir due to the fact that he had to prove himself and his style of bowling (which was looked down upon at the time) in Pakistan. He did well to revive the art of legspin as mentioned in his recent interview with Osman Samiuddin of Wisden Cricket.satishmania said:there are also a few more who have not been mentioned in the poll.players like, Asif Iqbal,Salim Malik, Ramiz Raja etc and Saqlain Mushtaq who in my opinion is better than Qadir

As for the others, I don't see how any of them could be in the 'Greatest Pakistani Cricketers' list.

Yeah,I'm also offended at the lack of Zaheer Abbas as an option in the poll.satish_lastride said:where's Zaheer Abbas????
U may not have seen Imran bowling but he was a better bowler,batsman & captain than Akram.Imran Khan is the best bowler & allrounder of alltime.Big_Boss said:Pakistan's crazy wicket taking bowler and my favorite fast bowler - Wasim Akram - 500 wickets in ODI, beat this Shane Warne ~ I heard alot about Imran Khan but never saw him play
Care to explain this a bit more?MohdIrshaad said:No need for that.
Its obvious that players that have played that cricket in recent times will get most votes, as some of the members of this forum didn't even see the likes of Javed,Imran etc while they were on their peak!! The result is that Miandad has got just two votes, two votes for the guy who was instrumental in Pak most wins, while the guy that damaged Pak cricket/cricketers to a great extent is high on the polls.
Let me put it in this way, who are the cricketers that benefitted Pak cricket the most??
The pioneer of reverse swing was Sarfaraz Nawaz who passed on his knowledge to Imran Khan,from whom both Wasim & Waqar learnt that art.satishmania said:yes waqar and wasim were the sultans of swing, seam and cut..ofcourse they were the pioneers of reverse swing
