what about Ronald McGrath?Lillee, though if Lindwall and Miller had a full career possibly not, or Ted MacDonald for that matter

I remember Martin Johnson (the cricket writer not the freakish rugby orc) writing that the 1989 Ashes squad didn't quite have the cachet of previous teams: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Cambell don't get ya, Rackemann must"Greg Campbell?
haha......gun postThere's a good case to be made for Lillee, Spofforth and Turner.
But the one you've got to get past, hateful though it is to admit it, is Pigeon McGrath. Thing is, he was the opposite of the sort of ***y Wasim Akram beau ideal that we all want our fast bowlers to be. He didn't offer that much variety, he didn't bowl many unplayable deliveries, and he couldn't get the ball to swing one way, seam the other way, stop dead, ruffle the baffled batsman's hair and then boomerang at appalling velocity onto the stumps. He didn't bowl at a hundred miles an hour. But what he did, time after time, was to take key wickets cheaply, and more effectively than anyone else at a time when everything seemed stacked against bowlers.
Yeah, I'm not buying the pretenceso finally somebody noticed
