Cummins/Smith vs Lillee/Chappell vs Warne/Ponting

[Johan]

Murali just played for a trash side so got to bowl Grimmett and Fazal overs so took so many wickets smh.

If we're going by WPM, Murali had more than 5 WPM overseas.

Yep, more than Lillee career.

Smith> Chappell >Ponting
Warne> Lillee> Cummins

I guess Chappell/ Lillee is the safer bet to work in unison

Agreed. Mostly.

Not sure Smith is clearly ahead of Chappell/Ponting yet, though he may get there.

So you think Murali is the best Ever? Takes 6 WPM, way out of reach for anyone else. Lillee's average just sucks arse. And it's interesting to see a Wasim fan uphold WPM as some holy grail.

be like Barnes, average 16, have 7 WPM.

don't really see how Ponting can compare with Smith..

Dude am I going to state the obvious that we look country by country when it comes to overall record and in Lillees context I was talking about one country.

Like you know this stuff man. I wasn't making a blanket statement about WPM in all contexts but why having a low WPM is an issue when compared to a high one. There is a minimum threshold an ATG should be taking wickets at.
