I'd take Zaheer for $10 million. Pay to have him killed, or knee capped or something and then give contracts to Jeets and Franklin and whoever else is a gun.

Your dream cricket player could bowl at 200km/h and knock off Zak's head, all while looking exactly like Jeets or Franklin. He could also then go on to single handedly destroy the stats of all players you hate.

This is turning out to be an excellent debate imo.

I'd take the 10 million even if it meant that Andrew Symonds and Chris Gayle were to be considered the greatest cricketers of all time and pioneered batting and bowling techniques for the ages to come - and then I'd just stop following cricket.

He wouldn't be Jeets or Franklin if he could kill though. You don't understand anything.

Zaheer, relatively easily. Now of course if it became a frequent occurrence that Zaheer got injuries during the match, thus leaving the team in a big ****storm - then yes, I'd agree with you.

I don't think India would have their #1 ranking (or at least not for a year) if they had Johnson and not Zaheer. I think it's simple as that.

Zaheer bowls like the *** in India for the past couple of years, which no bowler in the world can match at the moment (not even Steyn IMO - even though Steyn is a better bowler overall of course), and is so vital if you're an Indian team.

Can Johnson do that? Can most other bowlers you mentioned? India play in India 50% of the time. IMO for an Indian team, half fit Zaheer over anyone - excepting Steyn and Anderson. Steyn is a better overall bowler and while I disagree with GIMH and think Zaheer is a better bowler than Anderson, he's not better by enough to have a half fit Zaheer over a fully fit Anderson. Even if that means you get stuck with Munaf for the other half.

Just my opinion of course.

Well Johnson's a pretty divisive figure anyway, so he's probably not a good example to use for anything as exactly how good he is is debatable from the start.

What about Morne Morkel v Zaheer half the time and Munaf half the time?

The main one being that Morkel is a million times better at bowling than Johnson.

Don't think he is a million times better tbf. Pretty marginal between them as overall,all condition bowlers.

But we already have our fair share of eccentric bowlers in Sreesanth and Ishant,so Morkel would be a better fit. Also has done way better in India than Johnson IIRC.
