Is Philander the new McGrath?

[Xuhaib]

strangely he gets a lot of bounce of a good length even though he does not look overly tall can some bowling experts here shed light on this.

Kallis had tipped Philander to be Pollock's replacement way back in 2007

Proteas' Philander tipped to be 'new' Pollock

@popepouri:

Whoa, he seems to have been awfully unfit. Good on him to improve by leaps and bounds

He's still not exactly a conditioning coach's wet-dream. Distinct moobage even now.

Suppose it's been a factor in him being held back.

Looks far fitter now than that other shocker of a photo. Still more room for improvement though

 

[Burgey]

Well, he looks like him.

 

[Top_Cat]

**** no.

 

[ret]

Lol, the comparisons have already started.

+1 .... And that too "new mcgrath"

Looking forward to a thread titiled "is ashwin the new murali?"

 

[sledger]

Shame the cricket humour subforum was canned tbh.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Not only is Philander the new McGrath, Doug Bracewell is the new Philander!

 

[Jono]

Does that mean Stuart Clark isn't McGrath anymore?

 

[Burgey]

Hazelwood is the new McGrath.

 

[TumTum]

It's Mithun.

Asif was the nearest McGrath clone. Shame that the manufacturer built in a criminal gene in that one.

So it's more Pilferer than Philander being the new McGrath?

As if!

 

[Flem274*]

Bracewell is clearly going to be better than the pair of them.

Michael Mason is the new McGrath btw.

Asif had it in him to be an all time great. Too bad he threw it all away

They just misunderstood what it meant when they were told to make him like an Australian.
