Indeed.How is it possible to answer that question with any conviction?
Highlight of the thread, TBH...pup11 said:Sir Denise lille
Seem to be more common in Asia as well, with the likes of Pathan, Vaas, Zoysa, Khan, Rasel etc.compared with relatively few from the other nations.Aust. cricket history has had very few fast left handers (Whitty, Davidson, Reid, Matthews), I have always wondered why?
In fact world cricket has had a much smaller number of LA fast men compared to LA spinners
And, looking at his past, it's not the most outrageous possibility.He could be the best young fast bowler in the world today - gets up towards 150, leftie, moves it both ways, gets bounce
But he could break down tomorrow and never play a test
Very true, when I think of FLA for England only Bill Voce and Frank Foster come to mind. I have a feeling one of the Lever brothers may have been a lefty?Seem to be more common in Asia as well, with the likes of Pathan, Vaas, Zoysa, Khan, Rasel etc.compared with relatively few from the other nations.
How dare you forget Alan Mullally and Mark Illot.
It is quite amazing when you think about it, all of those bowlers you have listed would not even come close to an all time WI fast bowling line up, and apart from Alan Davidson and maybe Bill Voce no lefties from Aust. Eng, WI, NZ or Sth Afr (can't think of a great one from there?) would be rated too highly either.West Indies - Ian Bradshaw, Pedro Collins, Deighton Butler, Kenroy Peters.
Lillee saw him at the age of about 18 and nominated him as such. He was reputedly quicker then than what he is now, has lost some yards because of the numerous back injuries he's had.He's got a good action... dunno what Dennis is on about, though. Bit early for those type of calls, imo.
