Debate thread for 2024 ranking of bowlers poll

[CricAddict]

He is supporting your point tbh .

Oops sorry. I misunderstood that he misunderstood my point.

 

[Socerer 01]

To go back on topic, and to stick to one country’s bowling, I find it odd that Jadeja is rated above Dev and Kumble. I get what the numbers say but just doesn’t feel right.

Also Botham massively underrated. No universe were Verity, Bedser and Statham are better bowlers for England than Botham.

yeah as much as i like Jadeja and think he gets hard done by its rough to rate him above Dev and Kumble

 

[CricAddict]

Tate, Nissar, Amar, indian spin quartet, Vaas, Streak, Mortaza, Bond, Wagner, Southee and loads of other very good bowlers yet to get off the mark.

Mortaza ?
Is it Mashraf Mortaza ?

 

[CricAddict]

Mortaza ?
Is it Mashraf Mortaza ?

Ha ha yes, that's the best I could think from Bangladesh apart from Shakib. They do deserve at least couple of entries into the list as a cricketing country.

Surely not top 50. May be if it is top 100, he can get in.

 

[TheJediBrah]

So a pity vote

 

[Line and Length]

I didn't think that at all. Why are you quoting me

I was after the quote you were using when responding to @Sunil1z. I should have quoted him.
Sorry for causing a misunderstanding.

would rather have Taijul get the sympathy vote than Mortaza

Cue a Taijul vs Mortaza thread by Playercomparisons in the sub-forum.

Mo Rafique was great probably the best bowler in our history

You consider him a better bowler than Shakib?

 

[TheJediBrah]

You consider him a better bowler than Shakib?

Definitely. Is Shakib even in the top 5? Never thought his bowling was anything special. It was his all-round skills, and batting more than bowling, that stood out

 

[Athlai]

Shakib is a better Test bowler than Rafique by a considerable distance

Is he better than Taijul??

 

[Coronis]

I’m not sure how anyone could come to this conclusion.

 

[Coronis]

Is he better than Taijul??

In ODIs you could say that sure. But only because Taijul doesn’t play ODIs. Rafique isn’t close to either in tests.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

yeah

 

[TheJediBrah]

I’m not sure how anyone could come to this conclusion.

Never watched a Bangladesh match

@Fuller Pilch are you serious with the Jamieson voting? He hasn't even got 100 wickets yet and been perennially injured. Do you think he deserves to be in the atg top 50 bowlers?

Just for his presence through the delivery stride and the quality deliveries he produces. Also Tyson is the only other post WW 1 seamer to have taken 50+ wickets to average under 20.
