Battle of the Cricketers

SF Barnes the greatest bowler ever.

Not sure if he should be classed as a fast bowler, he was once reminded that he could not bowl the Googly, "I never needed it" said Barnes.

My point is I don't think fast bowlers bowl Wrong'uns?

Darren Gough could bowl an 'over the wrist' slower ball a few years back.

It's a really tough comparison to make. Ambrose is about as impressive a bowler as I've seen in my era as a cricketer watcher. He had pretty much everything in his armoury. Barnes, on the other hand, I've never seen bowl (does any film of him exist, come to that?) but is rated as possibly the best ever by better judges than I.

I guess, on that balance, it has to be Barnes.

Great West Indian bowlers are getting tough match-ups again. I guess I gotta vote Barnes, despite Ambrose being probably equal best fast bowler I've ever seen.

True, but from what I understand the Keeper was up at the stumps for all of the Barnes' styles.
