McGrath vs Tendulkar - ODIs

[Migara]

Wasim Akram his surely better than Mcgrath in odis.

No. McGrath is the best ODI bowler going around. Only one to challenge him record wise is Muralitharan. Then followed by Pollock, Wasim, Garner etc.

Not statistically overall, or in WCs.

Which one of them can turn a game on its head more often?

Tendulkar. McGrath wouldn't let the game get to a point of being a non-foregone conclusion.

Record isn't everything. If that's the case then Murli would have been the greatest bowler ever because he was talking 6 per match. The amount of impact Wasim's bowling had on other players was immense. He could turn the game in a single over. Plus McGrath played in an atg Aus team which helped him to maintain a good bowling average as others were also creating a lot of pressure. Pak fielders didn't supported him else he would have got more wickets.

Yeah I am also taking about Odis, I just gave an example to tell you records are not everything.

Man you are dumb or what. I just gave an example to show that records are not everything. That's why I gave the example of Murli's test record. Have some common sense, how can anyone have 6 wickets a match in odis.

Akram
Garner
Mcgrath
Donald
Starc
Saqlain

Top 6

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Viv was a better bat, more exceptional and his record stands well ahead of his era.

[Migara]

Akram
Garner
Mcgrath
Donald
Starc
Saqlain

Top 6

Nah.

McGrath
Murali
Akram
Garner
Starc
Pollock

are the top 6. Starc may stay here or drop off.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Lol. Garner is better than Akram and McGrath. Plus a far better bat than McGrath

 

[Migara]

Akram vs Pollock in ODIs. Shows how ridiculously good and consistent Pollock was in ODIs.

 

[Migara]

This will end Saqlain vs Murali debate. For 80 matches, that is about 25% of the time Murali stayed north of 800 points, which Saqlain managed in only one match.

 

[Migara]

Finally McGrath vs Akram



What these show is that McGrath, Pollock, Arkam and Garner were the top ODI pacers.

Murali based on longevity.

Murali based on longevity.

And peak. He was in a peak for 25% of his career Saqlain could not achieve.

I won't judge that based on graphs.
