Whilst the Proteas have produced a fair share of world class pacers over the past decade or so, Mr 360 believes there can be none better at the art of swinging the ball both ways than former Pakistani legend, Wasim Akram.
When asked at the pre-match press conference if he thinks any of the current Pakistani bowlers have the set of skills to match Wasim one day, AB went a step further and claimed that no one in world cricket could be better than Wasim.
The South African also shed light on his healthy relationship with the Pakistani great. “I get along with him [Akram] well. He s at Kolkata with the IPL every year, and we always have nice chats. And to actually get a bit of insight in the programme on how he used to bowl and what he was thinking while he was bowling is really nice. He has obviously shared all of that with a lot of players in the past, not only with Pakistan players but a lot of players at the IPL. But that s something you re born with. It s a natural skill that he was born with."
