Battle of the Cricketers

[Slifer]

Mcgrath by a long way. To me he and Steve Waugh are the main reasons why Australia are so dominant. Though Im West Indian he's the player i most respect in current cricket.

 

[Slats4ever]

McGrath. it'd be a travesty if he didn't at least make it to the quarters

 

[cricket player]

The one thing I dont like about this thread is jameeee always brings in the old players from the 1940s and people who havent seen them play and can only judge them by their average,

Anyways I would to with mcgrath because I havent seen the other guy play.

 

[Dasa]

Pollock.

 

[age_master]

McGrath

 

[honestbharani]

McGrath. One of the best fast bowlers ever. One can say that about Pollock as well, unfortunately, he didn't play enough test cricket to conclusively prove it.

 

[Somerset]

Definitely McGrath.

 

[Pedro Delgado]

McGrath

I can quite happily - and conclusively - say that Pollock was not one of the best fast bowlers ever

Pollock finished playing in 1987, when they had colour telly and everything. Granted his last Test was in 1970. If you look hard enough you might find some footage of him.

 

[Burpey]

McGrath

 

[Jamee999]

Can I say that you have half an hour more

I made a mistake, so the break will be after this matchup.

 

[Jamee999]

17-5 to GD McGrath.

So, the first 16 past the Qualifying.

DI Gower vs JB Hobbs
SR Waugh vs LEG Ames
GS Sobers vs J Garner
KR Miller vs MD Marshall

SM Pollock vs GA Headley
Imran Khan vs AK Davidson
BC Lara vs RJ Hadlee
AC Gilchrist vs GD McGrath

Some huge matches in the next round

 

[twctopcat]

Many depend on whether one is a bowling man or a batting man.

 

[Barney Rubble]

When does the rest of the first round begin?

 

[Jamee999]

Tomorrow evening.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Tomorrow evening.

Should be very interesting, there's some great matchups already. Great thread Jamee, keep up the effort.

lol, I meant as a batsman, he was really world class and could have been one of the best ever. Nice nitpicking.
