CW's Ranking of Pace Bowlers (Tests)

Ot you can look up the wonderful resources of film footage available, thanks to the internet, at no cost, think a little about about how descriptions match with what you see, and come to an informed decision.
I found this video with excellent footage of O’Reilly bowling. Enjoy!

(Yes he’s really quick for a spinner)

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Marshall-McGrath-Hadlee is going to be the top 3. In that order.

Marshall, McGrath, Lillee, Hadlee are hard to separate. Does anyone have stats on the quality of slip fielders they had during their careers?
Know This Is probably a joke, but Lillee had the Chappell brothers, Marshall had a bit of Lloyd, Richards and Richardson, McGrath had Ponting, Waugh, can't recall how long he had Taylor. When ever I watch Hadlee he seemed to have excellent support as well, names not coming to me at the moment.

Marshall never promoted climate change so Cummins

Edit- also never publicly sticked up to his mates iirc

I was planning to tag you but I guess it was unnecessary :)
