Here is the Bengal Cat's averages against the top bowling attacks of this era -
vs Australia - Tests = 31, ODI's = 23 (Doesn't surprise anyone since the Bengal Cat have always played the role of a tail ender against the best bowling attack of his era).
vs South Africa - Tests = 32
vs West Indies - Tests = 32 (West Inhdies had 2 great fast bowlers by name Walsh and Ambrose. And surprisingly the Bengal Cat averages a magnificent 32 against them in Tests.)
vs Pakistan - Tests = 27 (Till 2002 while Akram and Waqar were there in the team).
Why just 2 years, he have 20 years left in him.With the sort of superb averages of his against the best bowling attacks he can play even for another 30 years.

1998 Independence Cup - No Waqar Younis, no Wasim Akram. The bowling attack was spearheaded by the likes of Azhar Mahmood and Aquib Javed.
