Athar Ali, our best all rounder of all time,
Ummm, Atahar Ali - an all-rounder? The last thing that I remember about his bowling is that he gives away over 6 runs an over all his ODI career. Without disrespecting, I would say that he was used as a multi-skilled player in our ICC Associate days (along with Akram Khan's medium pace etc.) and he was a genuine specialist opening batsman by the time he retired, or rather was forced to retire from International cricket.
