ODI Bowlers Poll - discussions

Shami is an easy top 10 in my books.

Shami is an easy top 10 in my books.

Fun fact: there are only 31 pace bowlers who have taken 200 ODI wkts. Shami's economy rate of 5.57 is the worst of those 31

So top 10 is going a bit too far (top 25 for sure)

Edit: clarified I was referencing pace bowlers only

And the best strike rate too. His WC record is comparable only to Starc and McGrath, and both of them would make the top ten.

Arguably the best first change bowler in ODIs as well.

 

[Srinath P]

The thing with Shami is that he gets hit even on his best days. But he takes a truckload of wickets so it doesn't really matter.

And he probably has the best strike rate out of those 31. High risk, high reward.

Also the best Strike rate, best wicket per match and probably the best WC record ever.

Amazed how close Starc and Shami's records are

Starc: 127 games, 244 wkts @ 23.40, econ 5.26, SR 26.6, 1.92 wpm, 12 - 4W, 9 - 5W

Shami: 105 games, 202 wkts @ 23.85, econ 5.57, SR 25.6, 1.92 wpm, 10 - 4W, 6 - 5W

Yeah. Both have great WC records too; Shami's record is probably better and could surpass Starc's wicket tally in the next WC.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I'm interested by all the votes for Rashid Khan when he has a poor record against good teams.

Donald

Donald and Waqar make good arguments too

Yeah I feel it's a bit too early for him, especially since even Warne or Shami haven't been voted in yet

Youve convinced me so I just changed my vote from Rashid Khan to Shami

(Nah, didn't realise Shami's record is almost as good as Starc)

 

[Line and Length]

Might have to revise my vote in that light.

He is one of the most overrated going (still good but not an ATG, sorta like RTD having h4x figures for the same reason)
