Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
Sir Richard Hadlee - 431 wickets at 22.29Exactly, waaaaaaaaaay better
Bowlers in Hadlee's day, with exception of Morrison, were only there to hold up an end (some average less than 2 wickets per game for over 40 tests) and were barely threat
Ewen Chatfield - 123 wickets at 32.17
Danny Morrison - 160 wickets at 34.68
Lance Cairns - 140 wickets at 32.92
John Bracewell - 102 wickets at 35.81
So where are all these bowlers who average less than two wickets per game? Because I can assure you that none of these bowlers do. Again this proves nothing except that you severly under-rate anything that has happened in the past decades of Test cricket.
