    Who questions McGrath's standing?

    McGrath vs Jack Hobbs

    nah I don't actually mind McGrath>Hobbs, They're both top 5 batter and bowler for me, Something like Cummins>Hobbs for more opposition would be a trigger button tho.

    Harry Brook vs Viv Richards

    Bumrah not enough sample size, if he keeps this up and average only goes up one or two point I'll put him in 2. Rabada, borderline.

    Harry Brook vs Viv Richards

    He was arguably the best in the world after regressing post-war and had the biggest domination of contemporaries I've seen bar Bradman, #2 for me.

    This is an actually insane stat https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=batting_average;qualmin1=15;qualval1=matches;spanmax1=15+Dec+1915;spanmin1=01+Jan+1901;spanval1=span;template=results;type=batting

    I also don't really count Anderson's pre 2010 record, injuries had ****ed his action, once he returned to his older one he was gun for 12-13 years and over hundreds of matches

    don't think so, Hobbs was insane in his prime https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=batting_average;qualmin1=15;qualval1=matches;spanmax1=15+Dec+1915;spanmin1=01+Jan+1901;spanval1=span;template=results;type=batting

    among ATG pacers Tier 1 — Marshall, McGrath, Hadlee, Steyn, Ambrose Tier 2 — Donald, Lillee, Wasim, Trueman, Garner and kind Tier 3 — Anderson, Pollock, Walsh, Cummins Borderline — Roberts, Waqar, Bedser

    Boycott isn't ATG, Root definitely is tho imo if you consider people like Dravid and Sangakkara ATG.

    ****, god knows how much I want Hutton>Hobbs, wish it was possible
  13. Johan

    Harry Brook vs Viv Richards

    I mean Yeah, I have Barrington there, I don't rate him as highly as most but it'd be silly to say he is not an ATG on the basis of raw output
  14. Johan

    Harry Brook vs Viv Richards

    English ATG batters are Hobbs, Sutcliffe, Hammond, Hutton, you can make an argument for May, Barrington and then Root. English ATG bowlers would be uhhh hmm Barnes, then Laker (among spinners), Trueman and then Anderson.

    Don't you take other forums and platforms into account? Shoaib is def overrated on some by the pace is pace yaar crowd.

    Harry Brook vs Viv Richards

    It's one of those things that is pretty obvious, back then everyone tampered a little bit but Pakistan did it extremely to the point Imran's own teammate in Qadir was annoyed by it, also, look at the home and away disparencies of Waqar and Imran.

    Harry Brook vs Viv Richards

    My condolences Waqar and Shoaib are horribly overrated
  18. Johan

    Harry Brook vs Viv Richards

    he played decently about until 2015
  19. Johan

    Harry Brook vs Viv Richards

    an insane peak aided by bottlecaps but even then English and Australians found a way around him, he was a Andy Caddick level bowler for 60% of his career and doesn't have anything for Anderson's longetivity.
  20. Johan

    Harry Brook vs Viv Richards

    Anderson should be above Roberts and Waqar at the very least
