Amar Singh vs Shane Bond

[h_hurricane]

Two what ifs - who is better

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Idk who tf is Amar Singh...so I'll go with Shane Bond.

i like daniel craig better as bond...

 

[TheJediBrah]

Daniel Craig was such a good Bond

Going to be hard to top that

 

[Starfighter]

I put him above only Lazenby (maybe). No screen presence.

Casino Royal is the best bond film.

Fight me

Interesting comparison, in all seriousness. Unfortunately Amar Singh didn’t play many Tests, but neither did Bond.

Amar Singh did have a better reputation though.

 

[TheJediBrah]

a week ago I would have said Bond but my eyes were opened and now I am aware of what a myth he was that never actually did anything in Tests so I'm going to vote for the other guy that I've never heard of

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Perhaps compare him with Cowie - the best seamer between Larwood and Lindwall.

 

[Starfighter]

It is a really odd comparison though. Amar Singh was a medium-paced bowler of cutters. Not even remotely comparable to Bond.

 

[Daemon]

Lol I actually had no idea he was that slow. What a joke, no wonder he took stacks of wickets in England.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Amar Singh or Chris Harris? Who was the better test bowler?

 

[mr_mister]

Wasn't Mohammed Nissar a better/quicker bowler than Singh?

I thought Singh was held in high regard due to his all-round skills

Nissar was quicker. Singh is usually considered the better bowler by the writers of the day, even though his stats are almost always worse. I reckon bowlers that weren't fast tended to get more favourable treatment then, like if those judging were a bunch of David Friths.

Is there footage of Nissar? I saw that he’s playing in the same game but he doesn’t feature in those videos with the ball.

A history of fast bowling

Thee batsman who comes on midway through there Trumper, is that the same bloke who is often included in people's best aussie xi of all time? Yes

Both Hutton and Hammond rated Amar very very high. (Like best in the world kind of high)

There's nothing exceptional in his stats though and he barely played any tests. Bond is a seriously low bar though so Amar gets to be better by default. In fact I have recently learnt that actually playing tests has no relevance to being good so Amar is probably better than every NZ bowler bar Hadlee.

Cowie better than Amar Singh by a good margin.

Cowie bowling from 10.13.
