Moin Khan rescued Pakistan from a number of tight situations and he also won us the 1992 Semi final against New Zealand by smashing that vital six when more than a run a ball was needed. Whereas we had disastrous World Cup compaigns in 1996 and 2003 World Cups with Rashid Latif as wicket keeper. Moin Khan also played a number of vital innings for Pakistan in 1999 World Cup scoring runs quickly which was required from him besides Wicket keeping neatly behind the stumps. In Asian test championship of 1999 in Kolkata he played a vital innings for Pakistan rescuing Pakistan from a precarious 26 for 6 position.
Rashid Latif although a better wicket keeper for Pakistan couldnt match Moin khan's batting feats. Under Rashid Latif's wicket keeping Pakistan won the 2002 ODI series in Australia. He also kept wickets for Pakistan in successful England tours of 1992 and 1996.
In the end what i would like to say is that since Moin Khan was a better match winner than Rashid Latif hence he was better than Rashid Latif.
Nice comparison.
