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.
*** nope, can't agree with the first sentence. in those days we only used to play with associates (I am talking about 84 to 93). and He always used to have his quota fulfilled. comparing his bowling with Akram khan's bowling is something on which one should not waste his or her words.

any any case, we should concentrate more on the future..
