2nd greatest living cricketer

With a minimum of 100 overseas wickets, Imran is outside the top 20 bowlers in history going by bowling average. Also indicates that Garner is arguably the most under rated bowler in history.

Tick the neutral box too

Tick the neutral box too

Why ? Neutral isn't really away, if we are talking about a random test series arranged hurriedly to play in a neutral venue just because a host nation can't host a game. Hosts have to acclimatize as well in this case.

I suspect you are talking about Warne here and want him to go higher in that list :P

No I wasn't thinking about Warne but now I do, it makes even more sense since UAE/SL are more home like for Pakistan than it is for Australia

 

[Gob]

It would have also negated the WTC final aswell which would have been very unfair to KW

Ahh yes famous bowler kane Williamson. So sad that his bowling was so negatively affected by this, everyone remembers his 6 ball Hattrick to save the WTC FINAL.

His batting you numty. Small/medium sized daddy Kane finally made some runs in Englund and you don't want to take that away now do you. Certainly Kiwi brahs won't be pleased

If neutral is included, Warne goes to #16, Steyn at #17. Imran stays at #21. Waqar is at #22 with an average of just above 26.

Shane Warne was a hero through and through but Davidson looks pretty underrated too. There was a facebook post on cricinfo to pick an AT test xi for left handers recently and no one seem to know who he was

Facebook will do that, 90% of facebook cricket fans wouldn't be able to name a cricketer older than 45 currently. Nothing wrong with that, just a much more casual demographic then a site like this or pakpassion or even reddit.

Sachin's 48. If they can't name him I'd be surprised


Also the Poms on Facebook could name Jimmy Anderson.

Its just depressing as an India fan to see the first name right at the bottom group of that list. And for some reason Ashwin actually has a better away average than Zaheer. ?

Bumrah will be right at the top after we play another test series.

I was surprised to see Wagner not on the list (as Southee and Boult are), but he's only played 21 away and neutral tests and taken 79 wickets @ 27.2. Quality

 

[h_hurricane]

Bumrah will be right at the top after we play another test series.

Yep. As things stand now, Bumrah is pencilled between Mcgrath and Marshall in away average. A giant leap by our historical standards.

 

[Victor Ian]

Has Bumrah lost it since his injury? Last couple of years have been pretty ordinary.

 

[h_hurricane]

Was a bit worried for him post WTC final, but the England series was reassuring. While he wasn't absolutely devastating, he provided breakthroughs at critical stages and was barely hittable. Was quality.

Edit: Just watched highlights of the 4th test vs England. Pure gold. GOAT 2 wicket haul ?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Bumrah beats up on the weaker teams but has struggled against the best; averages 21 vs Australia, 24 vs England, and 47 vs NZ.

Yep, one aspect he has to learn from Sobers. Never bash a minnow even if it brings down your away average.

But he didn't, as evidenced by 47.
