Pakistan is a low series sample and that too a scandalous dead pitch series nobody got wickets.

England he was legit awesome. As he was in Australia I don't even know why you bring that up.

You guys are so easily influenced by low averages it's kinda sad honestly.

Get it through heads: A low average doesn't compensate for low wicket taking capacity.
117 in Pakistan.

Ambrose was better in Australia and equally awesome in England. Then he had returns in NZ, SA and Pakistan; and was comparable at home.

If you truly, really, believe that W is important, then you should rate Murali as the GoaT.

You gotta learn how to control yourself when your favorites get critiqued. Argue the merits, please don't freakout like you did with Hobbs.
I've refuted the Barnes crap a bunch of times, there's no point in me doing the same thing over and over again. I'm actually much more comfortable trashing even Viv than you are with watching Imran get trashed though.

Great then you can leave it at that. No need to spaz out if folks don't agree with you.

He had middling returns NZ, Pak and SA. Lillee just flat out better at home. And better in Eng too frankly.

Yes Ambrose was ATG in Aus but frankly that is pretty much the only argument he has.

Lillee was hardly better at home, or in England. Imo, he was better at neither. Ambrose in Australia makes it look borderline silly.

and just for reference

Barnes
189 @ 16.43
Other English
305 @ 29.59

Murali
800 @ 22.73
Other Lankans
1,168 @ 36.50

and guess whose record the tards bitch about?
anyway, I'll just leave this here, if one is to discard one's career for being too outlierish, discard both

LIllee take more than 5WPM @23 at home at 49 SR.

Ambrose take less than 4WPM@21 at home at 55 SR.

Sorry if you think Ambrose is better at home, I don't know what to say.

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.

No but we argue all the time that Murali may be the greatest at home. Away though he doesn't sustain that level of performance in many countries which is why he is downgraded.
