    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    He was fast, but he had the conventional and reverse swing going for him. And hated batsmen with passion as per Donald.

    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    He did have Lara ages late on him to start with. But the best would be New Zealanders. He played an A tour, and allegedly had been clocked at 101mph by an unofficial speed gun. He did destroy the NZ A team. But he had never been measured before his injury.

    Ashwin vs Murali - who is the greatest at home?

    Ashwin. Murali don't thrive on absolute dust bowls. His best comes when only he could extract turn but others cannot, hence maximizing the gap between opposition spinners and Murali. His performance tend to plateau when the pitch wears out. But Ashwin becomes more and more dangerous when the...

    ODI : Tougher bowler to score runs against - Garner vs Ambrose vs McGrath vs Pollock vs Bumrah

    Garner never faced batsmen paddling and reverse paddling fast bowlers. Even the technique of hitting is different these days. Richards, Tendulkar, Aravinda de Silva, Dean Jones, Salim Malik, Azharuddin etc developed this technique of clearing the front leg to hit, very early in their careers, in...

    Dennis Lillee vs Allan Donald

    Lillee simply don't belong there. Never had a complete record as Donald or ridiculous skill set as Imran.

    ODI : Tougher bowler to score runs against - Garner vs Ambrose vs McGrath vs Pollock vs Bumrah

    First, you have to adjust ERs to the era. Then you'd find Pollock, Wasim, McGrath and Murali were almost as difficult to score off as Garner. Secondly, game has evolved. If you transport Garner to today's game, he will travel the distance. Imagine what de Villiers will do to him. Whether he...

    Donald and it is not even close.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Environmental conditions. Playing in subcontinent and west indies in the drenching heat is not every ones kettle of fish, if the fitness is not up to the mark.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Sachin, because he played on varied conditions.

    Is there a difference between a greater cricketer and a better cricketer?

    Murali and McGrath hardly played T20s. When they played, they were good too. There is no indication that they could go past Bumrah, even in that format.

    Is there a difference between a greater cricketer and a better cricketer?

    If you consider all formats, Murali and McGrath are in their own class, with possibility of Hadlee and Akram in it.

    ODI cricket: Brad Hogg vs Daniel Vettori

    Hogg did better against India. Even better than Murali. That should be something. Sri Lankan batsmen hated facing Hogg even more than Warne.

    Michael Atherton vs Navjot Sidhu

    Sidhu averages three times as Atherton against WI of given time.

    ODI cricket: Brad Hogg vs Daniel Vettori

    Who is the better ODI player?

    Michael Atherton vs Navjot Sidhu

    Averages 38. How many openers managed to average north of 35 in 80s and early 90s against WI?

    Michael Atherton vs Navjot Sidhu

    Sidhu has a double against WI jaggernaut. Just reminding a small fact.

    Who is the most intelligent bowler of all time?

    That over to a subcontinental batsman will disappear for 20 runs.
  20. Migara

    Who is the most intelligent bowler of all time?

    Among pacers it is McGrath. Among spinners probably it goes to Ashwin and Swann.
