Writing worthy of the man and the player. Lovely, Gideon.

For mine, one of the top 5 players I’ve ever watched.

Absolutely great bowler.

Very dangerous batter at times.

& a really tough competitor.

I also enjoy his commentary.

In earlier times - before cricket - I wonderfully successful warrior leader in the mountains of Pakistan.

Was A.K. Davidson closest to Wasim in statistics & quality?

I have the book, Sultan, bought on the day it was launched by Gideon in Melbourne. My only regret is I didn't get it signed there and then.

I'll never forget that over he bowled in the 92? World Cup in Melbourne against England. Hick, Lamb and someone else from memory in the same over. That ball was doing things it had no right to.

Oh the ball to Dravid ... the very definition of unplayable. Even by The Wall.
