Battle of the Test Bowling

[silentstriker]

Verity, because he got out maybe the two most talented batsman of all time. Bradman and McCabe.

Twice. He got both of them out twice.

But Hadlee was involved in all ten dismissals...I still can't believe he caught that ball.

Two genuinely great bowling spells. I'll go Nawaz, simply for the amazing turnaround. Australia were 3/305 chasing 382 to win, and were bowled out for 310.

Willis obviously won the match from an unlikely situation too, so it could go either way really.

 

[alternative]

Tough one, but i will go with Nawaz

 

[Goughy]

Willis

Simply an incredible end to one of the most unlikely wins of all time.

 

[BoyBrumby]

RGD Willis. One of the definitive performances & possibly the first time cricket ever impinged on my consciousness.

Willis

 

[nightprowler10]

Nawaz for me.

 

[Loots]

Really close, but I'd have to go for Bob Willis.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

el Sarfraz.

 

[Jono]

Bob Willis but only just. Both ridiculously amazing.
