    Malcolm Marshall vs Glen McGrath

    Well I guess there are no good or better players as every player in the history of the game did not play at the same time under the same conditions - on the same pitch etc..If you think the only way to objectively find superior players is by looking at the conditions and who they played against...

    Malcolm Marshall vs Glen McGrath

    Yeah Lille wasn't competing against Michael Holding, Joel Garner, Ambrose, Walsh, Patterson, Roberts - excluding patterson who was good, the others were all great bowlers. His overall Record is better than Lillee's.. Credit to him for being a warrior but his competition for wickets wasn't as...

    Ambrose v McGrath

    Apart from the incredible yorkers - I loved how batsmen weren't playing in the wrong line sometimes but he was running through them - does this speak to his pace ? Guys would literally go forward to him down the right line - fully covered - and the ball went right through..no pad or anything ...

    Malcolm Marshall vs Glen McGrath

    Longevity lol... CW members sometimes love to ignore that they are statistically better players than their favorite players. And that stats cannot show the viciousness of Marshall ... It doesn't show the swing. . Spiteful bowler he was. .. hero bowling with a broken arm. . These things...

    Malcolm Marshall vs Glen McGrath

    Can you make the case why he's better than Mcgrath ? Or are his special skills pointless because Mcgrath picked up wickets on flat pitches ? Can people who voted for Mcgrath make the argument why he's better ? Or is this just personal feelings?

    Malcolm Marshall vs Glen McGrath

    Reading in the Ambrose thread I saw people saying Ambrose was good but McGrath is the greatest ever so he edges out Ambrose. Just wanted to see how strongly people felt about this.

    Who do you think is the better bowler ?

    Ambrose v McGrath

    Ambrose had way more bounce - he would hurry the batsman up and make the contest more interesting to watch. It also had an effect of troubling the batsman more. He was cheaper than mcgrath so it's not like he was giving away free runs. He just had a different element to him that mcgrath did not...

    Ambrose v McGrath

    Mcgrath was just a skilled and discipline bowler. Ambrose was a skillful and disciplined menace - big difference. If you were going to die and could watch only one of these bowlers for the very last time - who would you choose ? If you the two were on TV at the time - which one would you watch...

    Viv richards better take back what he said. .. attitude alone won't cut it. .. Gayle should start just playing for the orange cap because I don't see how this team is going to make. . The bowlers can't fight back. .. The batting is good but once these bowlers stay getting there is never any...

    Lolol@RBC this is why I usually stop watching after Gayle gets out. .. After that the team usually goes down hill.

    Dale Steyn among the top three pacers of all time, says Waqar Younis

    I did not compare them - Shoaib is not ranked in the all time great by anyone :laugh: I compared him to ambrose to show what real all time great looks like - Only a master can restrict the left and right hander alike the way ambrose did... and keeping most top order/middle order batsmen in...

    Dale Steyn among the top three pacers of all time, says Waqar Younis

    I went to look back on the record of Ambrose and lets compare him to Steyn... This comparison will demonstrate how consistent a player like Ambrose was against all batsmen..You will also see being an opener meant you have good chance of making a duck when ambrose is bowling.. Please consider...

    Dale Steyn among the top three pacers of all time, says Waqar Younis

    Bravo is not a mid range batsman... Samuels avg below 30 for most of his career. . Funny he actually made runs against Steyn. Gayle, and Sarwan are the only good/decent test batsman in recent years for WI. Chanders is in a higher class but obviously you won't have a team with many very good...

    Dale Steyn among the top three pacers of all time, says Waqar Younis

    Which team has posed the greatest challenge to Steyn and he overpowered them ? And it's a fact he does not take early wickets. .. he's always a bowler who does better in his second spell. He's a come back bowler. I value aggressive bowling and I think Shoaib has been the most aggressive...

    Dale Steyn among the top three pacers of all time, says Waqar Younis

    Flat pitches and crappy batsmen ...Even in the 90s he would have had more problems getting wickets. He should be praised for being the best bowler we have today but to name him top 3 of all time is a bit extreme. These days batsmen are either good or terrible, there are not many mid range...

    The effort these teams put into getting gayle out is on another level... It's the Aussie's attitude towards him that worked wonders for MI yesterday.. Gayle did score his fastest test century against Johnson, Bollinger etc but it's the same attitude about cramping him for room and using...
