    Best team since Waugh/ Ponting’s Australia?

    This side will beat the current Indian side but not the 2010 side.

    Best team since Waugh/ Ponting’s Australia?

    I don't think that's true about SA. That wasn't the criticism levelled at SA. The main criticism is that they didn't win more than they should have because they had a few ATGs. I remember at the time people always gave credit to SA for refusing to die and lose a test series. They often made...

    Imran Khan vs Dale Steyn

    How do you explain his 26 fifers and 27 four-fers? Then it will reflect on his average. Why isn’t Imran’s average so much better if he was just as good as Steyn at ripping through sides but also very good at damage control if things weren’t going well for him? Steyn was taking 5 wickets per...

    Imran Khan vs Curtley Ambrose

    That’s why I rate him higher than McGrath.

    Imran Khan vs Curtley Ambrose

    Again Steyn > Ambrose > McGrath > Wasim.

    Who was the better bowler: Glenn Mcgrath or Wasim Akram?

    You’re forgetting all of the bowlers you mentioned came pre t20 era. Steyn was taking 5 wickets a match until his last few tests at an average of 22 at 40 SR. If that’s lacking consistency I’m not sure what’s real consistency. Bowling tight lengths and not giving away runs and not getting any...

    Who was the better bowler: Glenn Mcgrath or Wasim Akram?

    Aussie bros love overrating their players so I get the sentiment. McGrath is in conversation for goat with several other bowlers but he wasn’t step above Ambrose, Steyn or Hadlee.

    Where do you rate Jasprit Bumrah among Asian fast bowlers (Tests)?

    Why not? I have seen enough to rate him. He’s better than McGrath.

    Who was the better bowler: Glenn Mcgrath or Wasim Akram?

    Lara doesn’t have a hundred against Wasim. Maybe someone got him out before Wasim had a go at him?

    Who was the better bowler: Glenn Mcgrath or Wasim Akram?

    And he wasn’t as successful agains them as he was against weaker batting line ups. He would have averaged 30 bowling against his own team.

    Who was the better bowler: Glenn Mcgrath or Wasim Akram?

    South African team wasn’t as good as the Australian side but they were probably the best team he bowed at. An average of 27 at the SR of 71 doesn’t scream best of the best.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Only Marshall is.

    Graeme Swann vs Mujeeb Ur Rahman

    Mujeeb Ur Rahman must be playing for NZ. Never heard of the guy

    Sachin's stats against ATG Fast Bowlers

    Sorry for irritating you by pointing out Lara's terrible record vs ATG bowlers.

    Sachin's stats against ATG Fast Bowlers

    Both Sachin and Lara weren't great vs Donald and Pollock. In fact Lara doesn't have a hundred vs Donald/Pollock but Sachin had 2 or 3. I can't recall exact stats but both averaged in the 30s.

    Ben Stokes to take indefinite break from Cricket

    This is why people don’t want to be open about it and struggle with it forever until they can’t cope anymore.

    Lara's 1999 series vs Aus or Smith's 2019 series vs Eng?

    any time Warne bottles it, its because of an injury to him or his grandma..

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Deserves a ban for at least 2 weeks.

    Ben Stokes to take indefinite break from Cricket

    What does Piers Morgan think of this?

    Martin Crowe or Andy Flower (in tests)

    Remove just one year for Andy Flower, the last of his career, his average shoots up to 56. It clearly shows Andy Flower was a class above.
