Hi Tanmoy!!!
My question is not about statistics. Its about ICL vs IPL.
BCCI-ICC pressurized Sri Lanka Cricket to reimpose ban on ICL players, umpires.
Why cannot they pursuade SLC to scrap the broadcast contract with TEN Sports. Ten sports-Zee Sports combine also relay ICL matches. Why this bias against the players only?
By the way, TEN Sports shows matched from Pakistan, South Africa and West Indies also.
Amit Bhasin
Hey Amit, we would appreciate if you throw us questions based on statistics rather than the ones that involve varied perspectives. Frankly, I'm no authority to speak about the raging war between the BCCI and the ICL, as well as the various stakeholders involved in each. In this case it's a broadcast company, which has struck deals with both bodies. International boards as well as the ICL get their due by getting adequate coverage, while the broadcast company gets its own chunk of the pie in return. What's the harm?
how many wickets have been taken by WAsim Akram against INDIA?
shahzad ansari
Arguably the best left-arm fast bowler to have graced the game, Wasim Akram has had success bowling on all kinds of surfaces all round the world. No wonder then, that the former Pakistani captain lists high up in the wickets column against arch-enemies India. Akram scalped 45 Test victims in the 12 matches that he played against the Indians. Being the highest wicket-taker in the shorter format of the game, Wasim bhai bagged a good 60 wickets against India as well.
