The fact that Ryan Harris and Shane Bond haven't been picked shows how many good bowlers are still available.
lol indeed. Hence my question asking the person who posted it why that would be the case.I am not getting into Wagner vs Thomson but no batsman will rather face Mcgrath than Brett Lee lol.
But that would say a lot more about your ability as a batsman than it would their respective prowess to the level of players who actually had to face them. Lee was basically a pressure release valve for 3/4 of his career. The 2005 Ashes being a particular example.I would.
No it doesn't. I'm fully aware everyone at the moment are reaping positive comparisons by statheads. current bowlers are not as good as some would like to believe. The absolute top of the crop are still special, but not as special as are being made out by numbers alone.I mean what you say about Wagner applies just as much to anyone else with a good record as a bowler. So this just boils down to feelings of nostalgia that older bowlers were better just because.
