    Mitchell Starc v. Vernon Philander

    I also want to tell you how ignorant and stupid you sound.. but what's the point It's a FACT, that Starc is a genuine fast bowler. Philander is not even Fast Medium or Medium Fast.. but a legit Medium Pacer. Medium Fast, at best. But most of his deliveries are around 120-125 Philander is...

    Ranking the candidates for best fast/pace bowler ever: The Rankings thread

    Yikes boy.. That's exactly what all the noobs say who never actually watched Sobers play, but only watched some highlights and heard a bunch of old heads romanticizing Sobers. Even if Sobers was the "better" batsman to many people.. NUMBERS don't lie. Kallis looks far superior, or the...

    Jason Holder

    "padding his stats" lol what a dumbass Who even asks such a question.. especially about someone who is literally the Number 1 All Rounder in the world. 6'7 player too, which is even more bonkers. Number 2 All Rounder now, i think. After Stokes Clearly you never even watched Holder play, but...

    Cricinfo's bowling designations

    McGrath was the definition of Fast Medium. He could have bowled even faster, but he knew his greatest strength.. and abused it. McGrath was also faster than the speed gun ever suggested. He generated pace OFF the bounce after the ball had hit the pitch. Batsmen always got spooked, and boom...

    Best English bowling attack

    Nonsense voting.. So dumb Ian Botham was a one man bowling attack.. And Flintoff only had few great years as an ELITE bowler. Harmison never was that good. Neither was Hoggard. But.. The combination of Anderson and Broad in Test cricket took England to a different dimension. They are...

    An Extinct Breed ?: Great spin bowling allrounders

    Unless someone counts Sobers as a spinner, Shakib is the 100% the best spin bowling all rounder. There's no contest.. especially in a batsman favored era. Successful bowling is just that much harder. It's even harder to be a successful spinner, with all the pitch (outside of the subcontinent)...

    Best Bowling All Rounder

    The problem is, most of you lot are extremely biased, with little to no proper knowledge. Peak Botham (before his back injury) was GREATER than Imran and all of those guys combined. He was considered the greatest ALL AROUND Cricketer, and the biggest game changer. For more CONTEXT...

    The top all-rounders (by rating)

    Nobody gives a **** about ODIS.. It's a new format, so flawed statistics. Especially when you compare "the greatest players/all rounders".. Bradman never played any ODI game. Doesn't mean he's not the greatest of all time, by a HUGE margin. In his own stratosphere Same thing goes for Keith...

    Kallis vs. Botham as an allrounder

    "BOWLING IS TIGHT"?? TIGHT? REALLY? LMFAO Botham was the Fastest player to reach 1000 Test Runs and 100 Test Wickets. He did it in 21 games.. He was England's best bowler and also the most game changing batsman. Wankhede 1980 is possibly the greatest feat by any cricketer. Just Ian...

    Is Jacques Kallis Ken Barrington of modern age?

    Flair doesn't mean **** Facts, logic and statistics all prove Kallis was the far superior All Rounder. Same level world class batsman, but a superior bowler and fielder. Simple as that mate. Stop being so biased and ignorant

    Cricket's great all-rounders

    You sound like a millennial who just GOOGLED some nonsense, then came up with a conclusion.. Imran Khan would have NEVER been selected as a batsman, on any team. His batting only improved in the last half of his career, when his bowling started to decline a bit. Kapil Dev is even worse. He...

    The Greatest Allrounder Ever?

    He's literally considered the GREATEST All Rounder, and the "Bradman of All Rounders".. by the vast majority of people in the world. INCLUDING, all the actual players, and legends of the game.. It's always been Sobers, Botham (peak) , Keith Miller and Imran Khan. The HOLY 4 Then comes Kallis...

    Kallis Vs Sobers

    Facts, and statistics doesn't really prove "Sobers was the better batsman". It's extremely close. Numbers don't lie And Kallis was definitely the superior bowler. And speaking of FIELDING. Kallis has 300+ catches. Much more than Sobers. Sobers was no Jonty Rhodes either So what the ****...

    Kallis Vs Sobers

    That's called a biased opinion. But logically, factually, and statistically.. quite incorrect

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    Sachin doesn't even belong there. How old are you? Sachin was great, but his "aura" is greater than the batsman he was. Nothing he did was "extraordinary" or "never seen before".. He had those nicknames, and the Indians worship him. But reality doesn't revolve around some people, or a...

    Sobers - A Batting Allrounder?!

    That's a **** way to describe "genuine all rounder".. because that's literally not possible. Maybe in that old era, where there was a severe lack of specialist talent. So Sobers had to bowl way too much. Sobers would have NEVER stayed in the team as just a bowler, if he was playing in the...

    What Qualifies as a Test Allrounder?

    Just because you think it's "right", doesn't make it right. Career length means nothing. Kallis was never a great bowler, compared to the likes of Imran, Botham, Keith Miller, and even Sobers Kallis was a great batsman, who could bowl. Especially later in his career, he was not even bowling...

    What Qualifies as a Test Allrounder?

    Just because you don't like something, doesn't make it any less true. Stop acting so ignorant boy Imran was the most complete All Rounder, while also being the best bowler in the world at that time. Botham was out of this world for the first half of his career, before the injury. But Imran was...

    What Qualifies as a Test Allrounder?

    Flintoff was literally a BOWLING ALL ROUNDER. Just like Pollock, but Pollock was a much better bowler.. and was more consistent. The Flintoff overhype is quite insane.. He literally had a great few years, including that 2005 Ashes

    What Qualifies as a Test Allrounder?

    Marsh has great centuries and 5 wicket hauls in Test cricket.. He's just inconsistent as ****
