    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    Thommo. His effort balls are extremely quick. I am quite certain his fastest ball would be well over 100 Mph, 102-103 Mph imo.

    Pat Cummins vs Andy Roberts

    Cummins is a top 20. Roberts a top 25-30 ish.

    Andy Roberts vs Courtney Walsh

    Here it is. The second delivery fastest of Thommo was 159.49 with fastest being 160.45 that wasn’t of Roberts. Roberts fastest in that study was 150.67.

    Andy Roberts vs Courtney Walsh

    Fastest I think was 157.4 in the 1976 study. The 159 is a typing error from Espn afaik. He was recorded 150.67 in that study.

    Michael Holding vs Kagiso Rabada

    Holding. Rabada away stats aren’t up to that level.

    Herbert Sutcliffe vs Jack Hobbs

    No comparison at all. Even Sutcliffe would say, Hobbs easily.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Fred would have ripped the subcontinent lineups apart. He averaged less than 15 against India.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    I have always thought Gregory to be quicker than McDonald though. Think I have seen Constantine in early part of his career bowl absolute fire in one of the footage which I think was of a county game. Both Gregory and Constantine at their best seem to me to be quicker. Here’s Gregory, 6.3 ish...

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Here’s Ted McDonald. Constantine was much quicker than Martindale. Both McDonald and Gregory were quicker too. All of them probably bowled between 135-140 kmph or maybe tad quicker. Larwood in the mid-high 140s.

    G Smith vs Kohli overseas

    At his peak I would take Kohli. Overall maybe Graeme Smith.

    Who is the most intelligent bowler of all time?

    Grimmett was a genius that discovered finger click spin himself. He even came up with the iverson delivery 20 years before iverson but dropped it for flippers. His former captain and teammate vic richardson wrote how grimmett was working on his "flipper offbreak" in 1938. He first used it in a...

    Who is the most intelligent bowler of all time?

    Clarence Victor Grimmett probably. “The Newton of Spin”.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    He was a damn good swing bowler. Very good. Probably ATVG level ish or very close to it. That also means being below par as a Spinner but lot better as a quick than his stats suggest, also had insane workload.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    Sobers as a batsman is an upgrade on Lara. Lot better against raw pace and no slouch against spin either. I wouldn’t go on about comparison across sports. I would take Sobers everyday but ofc it will be all flawed logic for either. The charisma, the walk, the athleticism, the swagger, the flair...

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    In a world where Bradman doesn’t exist, Sobers is arguably the best batsman ever. With only Hobbs and Sachin up for any debate. Just add to the fact the guy was a genuinely ATVG level quick bowler. Add fielding up to the equation too if needed. One of the best fielders ever. Also the swag of...

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    It has nothing to do with race. If Sobers had been an Indian, they would have literally made temple on him. The guy was a phenomenon. A greater genius than say someone like Messi, just happens to come from a sport which is smaller worldwide.
