Subject: I loved Akram

It's hard to compare because the other greats who've toured didn't get pitches in Australia as spicy as they're aiming for today. I loved Akram. Watching him was almost like watching a leggie as he did so much with the ball and had so many variations. But Bumrah is next level as he also gets that bounce to nick them off like Ambrose did. He's a weapon on low turners as well as being unplayable on pitches that bounce and nibble sideways.

For me, it'd be Bumrah a clear number 1. Then Ambrose if the pitch had something in it and Wassie on a flat pitch.
