Pakistan pace bowling legend Wasim Akram feels ODI cricket has become "run-of-the-mill" stuff now and wants the administrators of the game to scrap the format for good. Akram's comments came close on the heels of England all-rounder Ben Stokes' sudden retirement from ODIs, which has triggered a serious debate over the existence of 50-over cricket.
Before play started on Day 4 of the ongoing Edgbaston Test against England, it was India who were on top and the were expecting to set a big target for England. However, some "ordinary" shots brought about the dismissals of Indian batters, and the visitors were bundled out for 245 with only Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant going past the 50-run mark. In the end, England were set a target of 368 and the hosts reached 259/3 at stumps on Day 4 with Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow unbeaten on 76 and 72, respectively.

Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis formed one of the greatest bowling combinations to ever play the sport and the opposition batters always had to be at their best whenever they came up against this deadly bowling duo. Both had the ability to make the ball talk -- be it with the new ball or with the old ball. However, there was always this talk of the pair not getting along with each other. Akram has now opened up on his equation with Waqar, admitting that both of them had their differences but there was always a healthy competition.
Pakistan's never-ending supply-line of talented fast bowlers have given world cricket many gems. Some went to become legends, while others fell by the wayside after showing initial spark. One among them who reached great heights was Wasim Akram. With his left-arm pace, Akram mesmerised the rival batters. In 104 Tests, he scalped 414 wickets while in 356 ODIs, he took 502 wickets. He also formed a lethal fast bowling pair with Waqar Younis and gave Pakistan cricket several memorable moments. After him, several fast bowlers impressed for Pakistan, but Akram is disappointed with one bowler who could not do justice to his talent.

Wasim Akram is a bonafide legend, having tormented batters for years with his incredible swing and seam bowling. Christened the 'Sultan of Swing', Wasim Akram took a mindboggling 414 wickets in Test cricket and 502 wickets in One-Day Internationals (ODIs). His ability to swing the ball both ways made him almost unplayable at times. Now, 56 years old, the Pakistan great showed that he still packs a punch when it comes to bowling. Playing in the 'Wellbeing of Women' celebrity charity match "in remembrance of Australia great Shane Warne", Akram turned back the clock by dismissing former England captain Michael Atherton with his signature delivery -- an inswinging yorker.
