McGrath, of course, is more associated with seam than swing although (as I'm sure you know) he did do reverse swing. I was quite surprised when I saw a video of him (it could have been earlier this year, it might have been on Facebook, it might have been when McGrath was young) and it showed McGrath definitely bowling outswing. It might have been somewhat early outswing and not really late but I wasn't expecting to see outswing from him. I'm wondering whether he decided to forgo that and stick with seam. I'll have to try to find that video! Unless my memory is playing tricks on me!

Yeah I’ve just seen some people who haven’t watched Hadlee enough lumping him together with McGrath and Ambrose when really, he was often swinging the ball.

Garner for his batting.

Did have back to back series vs Aus and Eng in 84 with 60 wickets (31 + 29) @ 17.7 opening the bowling
Jfw, imagining getting out pulling a half tracker to third man in the first over of a test series.

It was planned:

Hadlee's bouncer to Hilditch in the second innings looked quicker.

With his supernaturally long limbs for leverage and his giant hands tenaciously gripping the bat handle with crushing force, Joel was able to smite the ball with fearsome power:
All that says is Hilditch was trash. I mean that's the tactic used to get Stuart Broad out in his late career when he'd declined to a #10 bat.

Think outswinger is the easiest delivery to bowl for the pacers, effectiveness and accuracy is a different thing.

Way better than cringe T20 batters.
How? He's just heaving across the line

He's Joel Garner, that name alone is better than cringe T20 guys

Not a mention to Lara 99'?? I think in terms of clutch factor that one is pretty close, with noticeably better consistency.

Is that really the overriding sentiment though?
Last poll they were quite comfortably tied the 2nd options.
