McGrath was only good because he bowled to Sehwag, Dravid and Laxman. If he'd faced Rohit, Pujara and Rahane, he'd have been found out lol.

Truly incredible posting.
My man really thinks , these 3 impostor who couldn't hold the bat in seam bowling better than the current era batter which are winning everywhere.lol

Everywhere like at home vs NZ...... Man go away. The last thing I want to hear from anyone is a gushing about our batsmen being useful.

Check his average in that series, first he averaged 31 and according a nostalgic merchant Hazlewood 31 average in ashes is bad but but
I don't even need to look up cricinfo to know he didn't average 31 in that series. We made so few runs that Anderosn, Broad and Bresnan not having great numbers is a near mathematical impossibility.

Haha I literally posted the scorecard of their highest first innings total in that series. Genuinely not mathematically possible!

Hazelwood’s stats flatter him because he doesn’t play in Asia where he averages 39 with bowl. He also is less durable than other fast bowlers of Australia.

As a combination, not much to choose between them. Include Warne in the picture and there is the difference between both attacks.

Hazelwood v Gillespie is close but mostly agree. I want to put Starc last for the lolz tbh. Think Lee would've enjoyed the pink ball.
I think the left arm inswing thing is a pink ball cheat code tbh. It's become clearer and clearer to me that a lot of batsmen simply can't pick up that delivery well under lights and it makes them play him like he's bowling 155km/h+ inswingers, not 140-145.
