Of course it’s a trolling effort when considering bowling only. Lillee is considered by many to be the GOAT.
You just have a poster here who’s obsessed with Ashwin and Jadeja.

Ashwin vs Lillee

I believe Imran Khan and Hadlee rated DKL #1 in that time. That's enough insight to highlight how great Lillee was. Immy and Hadlee are in the top few themselves so DKL's peer review tells us everything.

yeah the only reason im voting Ashwin here is because op is on a personal crusade against him

No. It's sincere because I thought there is sufficient number of Ashwin fans on the other side who feel this is a meaningful comparison. Glad I am wrong.

I'm not an Ashwin fan, just a Lillee denier.

I voted for Lillee initially, but then I remembered that I was the one to question Lillee's status as an undisputed ATG despite really performing at that level against 1 team; and if he is then why Ashwin can't; and now I feel obligated to vote for Ash.

Yeah. The fact that it is not a blow out for Lillee is significant. Shows how much Ashwin padding is still out there.
he has more wickets at a similar average, has been the best player indisputably in his discipline for a decade, is considered by his peers to be the best, and it’s not like Lillee doesn’t have holesin his record

Well that's why I made this thread. I didn't think it was outrageous.
the peer rating means it’s not actually close

Peer rating is for imbeciles
Moeen was recently asked who the best Indian batsmen in modern times are and he replied Dhoni

I think when we talk peer rating, we care about some sort of general consensus, not ersatz opinions here or there.

There are quite a few that put Kohli above Sachin or answer in a very non committal manner when asked to choose one above the other.
Peer rating is largely bullshit.
I do. My view on all of this is far more qualitative than most.
Not amongst the proper journalists etc

I care more about peer rating of those who actually played against the cricketer in question.

Like when Wasim Akram said Martin Crowe was better than Sachin and Lara??
