Battle of the Test Bowling

[silentstriker]

I probably didnt make myself clear. The others were not that good test players. Kapil was quality but the others were poor. Its not as if he was taking wickets when guys like Waqar, Marshall and Warne are struggling from the other end.

Yea, I agree with that.

 

[aussie]

Willis match winning spell.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Big Bad Bob Willis for me.

Hard to believe he was once a fire-breathing quick; his commentary really is the aural equivalent of ovaltine.

They're getting difficult to choose now. Tayfield was bowling at a smaller target, and a brilliant middle-order surrounded by some fairly average players, while Sarfraz just blew the team away in the space of a few overs. Close, but Tayfield.

 

[Jono]

Tayfield for the reasons Dasa outlined, but only just.

 

[Xuhaib]

Sarfaraz- History changing spell, first time reverse swing came into prominance.
