==Similarity to Wasim Akram== 

 What is the source for this quote? Sure, they are both left arm bowlers who swing the ball, but what else is similar? Wasim's run up was shorter, with a groin ripping delivery stride, and Vaas's run up is longer and the action smoother. Don't know any figures for fastest deliveries, but the naked eye (and memory) suggests that Wasim was markedly quicker. Cite references, please!
