Undoubtedly 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 the 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 favors 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 many priviledges.no one can produce the balls that he produced in his cricketing career.
so, Wasim is far better than anyone else.
from Yasin.
"where nothing favors 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 many privileges"
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 abilities because he came from Pakistan.
The world of cricket can not provide a bowler better than Wasim Akram, it is the universal truth.
From Muhammad Muneeb Aslam
"Whatever the pitch condition of the subcontinent is, he proved by his performance. By saying that pitches from subcontinent help bowlers that why he has good record then why don't every bowler from subcontinent have 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
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)
Surprisingly, no one has ever mentioned match fixing. I have added it under "controversies" section.

There are several flaws on this page - the first and foremost being that Akram was NOT discovered by Imran Khan! Imran was in Australia playing for New South Wales when Wasim Akram was picked for the New Zealand home ODI and then overseas NZ tour. He bowled for a brief time to Javed Miandad in nets who had requested a few club bowlers for practice. That is how he was "discovered" - by Miandad. Interestingly, he had been rejected for Under 19 squad as too wayward a few months earlier. You can probably verify this from his autobiography: Wasim (1998) or Imran Khan's 2nd one: Allround View (1988).
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)
Apologies for changing the left-hand to right-hand bat. Was thinking of a famous innings which I couldn't distinguish from Waqar who was hitting well and thought Wasim was the man of that innings. I was dissapointed that he wasn't left-hand aswell cause I am lefty and he was my idol but apparently brain explosion. It was him who hit Steve Waugh for 6 on the last ball to tie a game in the 92 world cup, right? Anyone got his height,saw him next to Shoaib who claims 6' exactly and he seemed maybe 2-3inches taller comfortably.
Anyway anyone got Wasim's accurate height?

So, it says he's Pakistani Australian. I get that his wife is Australian, but does that really make him Pakistani Australian? Or am I missing something? Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:25, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
IPs are warring over this. I think the one without the cap and glasses gives a clearer depiction of Akram's face. Also better lighting / colour. Pelagic ( messages ) – (22:02 Mon 22, AEDT) 11:02, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Third one's a decent shot. Question is: should we depict people as they appear most recently, or as they appeared closer to the height of their careers? Pelagic ( messages ) – (22:13 Mon 22, AEDT) 11:13, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Can anyone change File:Wasim Akram.jpg to File:Wasim-akram-gesf-2018-7878.jpg with caption "Wasim Akram in 2018". Thank You. 119.160.117.205 (talk) 09:23, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
