    Viv Richards Vs Hadlee

    Yeah, the vote is predictably lop aided. Way more than it should be.

    Viv Richards Vs Hadlee

    Yeah, that would be my choice if not forced to choose.

    Viv Richards Vs Hadlee

    I have one 3rd and in the argument can be made be the greatest tier. The other 5th and in the best after Bradman tier. Pretty close. Hadlee more consistent with ridiculous numbers, Viv broke the game though.

    Shaun Pollock vs Ian Botham

    🤣🤣🤣

    Did Marshall and McGrath have it easier?

    I hadn't. Just brilliant, 😂

    Did Marshall and McGrath have it easier?

    Murali and Hadlee had to fight to get to the tail, they also got more of said tail. Warne got most of the tail from McGrath. Also Garner got most of the tail from Maco. You can check the numbers if you so desire. It balances out.

    Pick one combo : Ambrose & Walsh vs Akram & Waqar

    What I thought.

    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    First off, if using first class (which the Wisden AT XI also factored in), and using greatness as an primary criteria, really good XI. But using F /C and choosing a team to take the field, then I definitely swapping out the openers for Hutton and Barry and Imran for Wasim. And I mentioned it...

    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    We've had this discussion before and I greatly disagree. Not to mention that Logie didn't make the final 11 many games during his career.

    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    What I've said for years. Also ideally suited to bowl into the wind.

    McGrath & Lillee vs Donald & Steyn vs Imran & Akram

    This is literally what you do.

    McGrath & Lillee vs Donald & Steyn vs Imran & Akram

    But who's not giving Wasim leverage, he's in the same tier as these guys. You're the one trying to downplay Donald.

    McGrath & Lillee vs Donald & Steyn vs Imran & Akram

    Why is it believed that the only up helpful conditions are in the SC? I agree with PEWS take that for a bowler who only played in said conditions should have better numbers, but to say he never dated rough conditions isn't correct either.

    McGrath & Lillee vs Donald & Steyn vs Imran & Akram

    So very much this.
  15. kyear2

    McGrath. Ambrose. Steyn.

    I'm not down playing Steyn, I rate him just above Sir Curtly. I'm saying he didn't play much outside of home either. He may have actually played away from home less than Ambrose

    Rank them : Donald, Imran and Akram

    Bishop was quick, like peak Waqar / Patterson(?) fast, he would also (conventionally) swing it. He was seen as potentially Marshall's successor. @Slifer can tell me if I'm remembering incorrectly.

    Rank them : Donald, Imran and Akram

    With all due respect, that's bullshit. Hammond was in Bradman's shadow, he was still seen for his quality. Outside of the Hall and Griffith days, Sobers wasn't on the best if teams and Australia and England still ruled the roost, be brought attention to himself. He because the 2nd great...

    Rank them : Donald, Imran and Akram

    I think Bishop was potentially better than all of them. He could have been something special. Re Ambrose and Waqar, Ambrose was doing it against better opposition, and the other thing. But we can see it differently.

    Rank them : Donald, Imran and Akram

    Not statistically and arguably not anecdotally.
  20. kyear2

    McGrath. Ambrose. Steyn.

    So basically he wouldn't have been good in the SC outside of the games he played in the SC. Gotcha. In '97 he was past his best and you know this. I'm saying Steyn outside of his 6 matches in India, don't have that large a sample size in the SC either. And somehow you don't get that...
