Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Saqlain Mushtaq and Mushtaq Ahmed... Probably the most balanced (and lethal) attack in cricket at the time... Shows the class of the man!
Class, class and unparalleled class. No man, in my viewing, has played fast bowling with so much assurance and ease. I've seen a lot of Lara and Tendulkar as well, who are great batsmen with tremendous discipline and appetite for runs.
However, for pure hand-eye coordination and sheer skill in playing pace, I am yet to see a man better than De Silva.
I am Indian, but I strongly feel that today Indian batsmen should learn from Arvinda how to overcome the fear of playing short-pitched deliveries. He was one of the best batsmen to have played against fast bowlers.
What a player?He has such class in his batting.He has always played blinder of an innings during crisis situations like WC 96 semifinal.A very underrated cricketer indeed.
Someone should upload better videos of Arvinda De Silva to me he was the best batsman played during his times of Azhar, Inzy, Sachin, lara etc. coz he arrived most of the time when his team in trouble and played nice innings and won for them. He is my Hero.
remember this series Ari made havok of the pakistan attack of waqar & wasim.........it was his best year a record 7 centuries.......attpattu showed his tru colour in this series as well for the first time........
