The 5 worst fast bowlers who average below 25

Migara

It can also be the flattest pitch in the world on a given day.

He played like 4 games in SC, two of them on the flattest decks ever, not enough sample size.
Failed in three countries.

Even could not blitz though minnow SL batting line up on a spicy Asgiriya pitch, which had movement, but not bounce.

This is at the level of Shane's broken toe nail.

Bumrah - 15
Cummins - 16

Starc - 64


(I should clarify probs it's Test + FC)
Can you share your top 20? I think Hazelwood at 34 is high and Starc at 64 is low. Both have poor record in Asia, Hazelwood more so. Actually Starc has decent record there, Hazelwood is quite bad.

I don't know where, In West Indies he had a good series in WSC and fixed his record.

he played SA at the very end of his career and we don't deduct points for minnow performances.

This is at the level of the guy who thinks Root not making runs against Ireland is a strike lmao.

Haze actually has done moderately well in India and Sri Lanka (had one Great match in India); and I always felt Starc's red ball no.s flatters him.

Crusty sock was it from all the masturbating he did sitting at home missing out on Asian tours?
Qlder posted some valid explanation regarding the topic.
You've said this in a few threads now so I'm wondering what holes you perceive to be in his record. Could it be:

(1) Didn't play in India. No tours to India were scheduled during his career, how can he be marked down for that

(2) Didn't play in West Indies. He was selected on one tour where he had to go home because of a broken back (did prove himself in WI during WSC)

(3) Didn't play in South Aftica. No tours during his time

(4) Only averaged 35 in Sri Lanka. Lillee played one Test so hardly enough sample to judge

(5) Didn't bowl well in Pakistan. No pace bowler did as pitches were absolute roads on his only tour. Even Rod Marsh bowled 10 overs as Australia bowled everyone on those highways
How often do you think Asian tours went on in the 1960s and '70s?

Australia toured India in 1969 then 10 years later in 1979 and then 1986. Lillee missed all because he wasn't playing for Australia during any of those tours (career 1971-84) (WSC 1977-79)

Same with Pakistan where Australia had no tours between 1965 and 1979

As for West Indies Lillee toured in 1973 but broke his back in 1st Test and was sent home. The next tours were in 1978 and 1984. Again when Lillee wasn't playing for Australia

And that’s on him.
He missed 1969 and 1986 tour as the former was before he started and the later was after his retirement.

And iirc WSC players were banned from all forms of FC and district cricket, which coincided with the 1979 tour. So, don't think I'm gonna blame him for that.
