Allan Donald vs Trent Boult

[slippy888]

Who the better fast bowler for you in test match cricket and one day international.

I'm a big fan of Boult, but it's Donald and it's not close.

Trent more of a fast-medium than a genuine quick surely?

It's not really a valid comparison.

 

[slippy888]

Boult is a world champion and a 3 times world cup finalist he is underrated.

All true, but Donald took more wickets from fewer tests at a far better average.

I mean it's definitely not a valid comparison but this is such a strange reason to decide it's not.

Everything is wrong with this thread. Everything.

Lol what is this?

I mean maybe its valid in odis, but Donald is an ATG. Boult is a potential ATVG but he's been on a quiet decline from very good to good for a few years now.

I just assumed that I don't know slippy well enough to know when he's taking the piss. Because that's the only thing that can be happening here.

 

[Line and Length]

There can be no comparison. Donald was an ATG. I'm not knocking Boult (he has been a great servant of NZ cricket) but what was @slippy888 thinking posting this thread.

what was @slippy888 thinking

One of the great philosophical mysteries of all time

Boult a better batsmen

 

[harsh.ag]

Boult wouldn't have been run out like that

 

[sunilz]

Boult was the better batsman and invented a great defensive shot in Australia.

 

[Calm_profit]

Close in terms of limited overs cricket.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Boult only just, but don't forget Donald is 55.

Just waiting for the Bradman vs Russell Arnold thread tbh.

Ok, so I assume that the two votes for Trent were pity votes??
