Interested to hear your rationale for Imran > Imran, or Imran < Imran.

Imran bowler > Imran batter

Kapil

what? no. wrong.

 

[trundler]

what? no. wrong.

Nor can tonless Davidson be a better bowling AR than Imran.

 

[CricAddict]

Take out Kapil, Davidson and Chappell and that list will look legit.

 

[trundler]

Grimmett is a tough sell too. Third best spinner in his own era.

Yeh, he can

Why would you take them out?

Almost six wickets per test doesn’t get you in the conversation? Righto

Yes, I read a bloke suggest Lillee was better than McGrath once. LMAO.

Why is that surprising, Lillee was a better bowler than McGrath

says the dude who thinks Lillee is better than McGrath and thinks Imran wasn’t good enough with the bat at his prime

We even once had a member who said McGrath wasn't in Australia's top ten pacers.

Thankfully that idiot stopped coming back after finally showing his true colours to enough people to become a total pariah. Hopefully he doesn't do something really annoying like create another account in a sad attempt to reset his reputation and then pretend he can't stand the place despite his obvious inability to actually stay away.

Correct, except I said Imran was only a good bat when he wasn't bowling

No, you said he was a #8 when he was bowling which is false.

It's called too much wine but I still only remember Imran being an excellent bowler but batting 8, then he got injured and started batting 6 and made lots of runs
