DK Liliee vs Pat Cummins

[Xuhaib]

Everyone is positing their polls and comparison thread so I want one too for my self.

Whose the 2nd best Aus pacer post WW2

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Lindwall is for sure in the conversation.

 

[subshakerz]

Way too early to judge Cummins.

 

[Xuhaib]

200 wickets is a decent sample provided no freak injury Cummins is guaranteed 350 wickets @ sub 24 average

Plenty of bowlers have injuries or even just a prolonged loss of form. Need to wait until he reaches 300 wickets for me to begin to rate him to established ATGs.

But e’s already had an 11 year test career, as a pacer apparently you should be able to judge him on that, what happens after this point is of no concern in where he ends up in all time ratings.

He's not been active for 11 years. If he had played 60 odd tests with his current output, I would have him ahead of Garner and Holding and he's done enough to be on par with Davidson, who had a short career too.

 

[Slifer]

Rather wait til the end but as of now:

McGrath
Lillee
Davidson
Cummins
Lindwall
Miller

 

[Everton Seymour]

Pat Cummins is my pick , like Mcgrath he's doing great at home , in the subcontinent and the Ashes ... Juggling captaincy and the distractions of white ball cricket has also been really impressive.

Nah he’s been playing tests since 2011, thats 11 years.

You're really reaching to misrepresent me. I'd have Lindwall over Davidson any day previously because prettier averages aren't everything for me.

 

[Anil]

Kallis for me clearly…among the other two, as of now it’s Lillee…

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Lillee in the poll. McGrath the second best Aussie.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Cummins is crazy good but not quite done enough yet to be ranked ahead of Kallis.

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Mcgrath.?

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Lillee > Mcgrath > Rest

 

[ankitj]

I remeber when ESPNcricinfo did excercise on selecting Australian ATG xi, at least one panelist left out McGrath for Spofforth. LoL.

 

[Line and Length]

The voting is a fair indication.

 

[Coronis]

Oh I didn’t realise Kallis was in the poll. In that case, as pacers: Lillee, Cummins, Kallis. As cricketers: Lillee, Cummins, Kallis.

 

[Red]

Pre balding long hair Lillee is still the coolest looking **** that's ever stepped onto a cricket field.
