[Fusion]

Marshall
Waqar

Malcolm Marshall
Waqar Younis (Can't believe I'm not voting for Hadlee! But his recent comments on Tendulkar being better than Bradman, and Anderson being better than Steyn are such lol-worthy that I couldn't help!)

the first one is a bit easy for me. Marshall

Second one, a little tough. As much as I really think Hadlee was great there is no going past those orgasmic inswinging yorkers

Waqar Younis

i agree; but waqar has done worse - including match fixing, possibly.

purely as bowlers both were mighty exciting to watch. and both happen to be dickheads when it comes to a few things. i had to resort to hadlee's superior batting ability to separate the two. (yeah, i know this is to determine the favorite not the better cricketer of the two; i liked hadlee's batting quite a bit. had to acknowledge that somewhere. this poll seems to be a good occasion to do so)

 

[Hurricane]

Hobbs and Hadlee

And a protest that Norman Cowans did not advance further in his competition.

And still Shane Warne is your favorite bowler ?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hobbs & Waqar for me.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Marshall - Don't really know Hobbs so will go with the greatest fast bowler ever whose videos on YouTube are amazing.

Waqar - Started watching cricket because of Waqar and Akhtar and out of the two Waqar is my all-time favourite.

sharing weather/pitch info with bookies is not the same as fixing matches. of course, you can disagree with me.

Agreed. But Waqar has never been caught/proven to be involved in Match fixing? It is only a suspicion.

And in the balance of probabilities Warne has been proven to have links with Bookies and even taken money from them, while i do not think Waqar has been. Have to agree to disagree, i guess.

 

[Zinzan]

Marshall & Hadlee

Genuinely surprised that Waqar's likely to take down Paddles in this match-up.

justice quayyam made it clear that some senior players, including waqar, were involved in fixing matches. just that he was a fan of those accused cricketers and so he didnt want to pull the curtain on their careers; typical subcontinental justice. dont want to take the discussion away from the thread topic. i gave my reasons as to why i did not vote for waqar here, and wasim earlier; you can choose to agree with me or not. but as far as i am concerned my logic is consistent in rejecting them and choosing warne.
