Who is better?

Who is better?

I think we’ve had this poll before… but in what regard? Bowling, batting, allrounder, overall?

 

[DrWolverine]

Hadlee

Bowling

Imran better in crunch situations…
Hadlee with the edge at peak

 

[Johan]

Bowling

Hadlee obviously

 

[The Sean]

Overall career, yeah Hadlee. But with the question being better at peak I'm not sure. Imran's peak was otherworldly.

Couldn’t keep healthy during his peak tho. Played barely half his team’s matches

 

[DrWolverine]

It depends on what you call as peak.

Hadlee taking 33 wickets in a 3 matches is the greatest bowling peak performance in a single test series

Ha, fair. Those three years out are such a big loss for so many reasons.

Imran took 30 wickets in 3 tests on dead flat pitches against a very strong Indian batting

Imran took 30 wickets in 3 tests on dead flat pitches against a very strong Indian batting

With help of ball tampering and baised umpires

Were they that flat? Sarfraz took 14 @ 27 in those tests. Seems like they were much rougher for the spinners.

Pakistan got to 600 twice so probably, tho again, apparently the umpires allowed the Pakistanis to take the ball to the dressing room this series, as well as allowed overstepping and were very hasty in giving nicks caught behinds ans LBWs so the two teams might not have been playing on the same level.

 

[Northerner]

Hadlee didnt start off as a genuine all rounder but as an out and out pace man, cutting down his run up at a slight reduced pace was a genius decision, he worked hard on his batting with Clive Rice and became a genuine all rounder, should have had a couple more test centuries to his stats,

Imran was a great all rounder too, he started off as a medium pacer who worked hard on his bowling to become a strike bowler. another great decision by him too,

along with Kapil and Botham they where great to watch and i was lucky to see all 4 in their prime, if Rice and Proctor had been allowed to play tests too then they would have been genuine test all rounders. i believe Hadlee helped Rice with his bowling,

i dont really like to compare them to each other , just glad i was around too see them,

 

[Johan]

at peak, with reverse mastered, Imran is probably the best ever.

I've heard that bit about taking the ball to the dressing room b4. I'll admit i never followed much cricket outside of matches involving WI. But did that really happen??

Basically yeah.

Not remotely.

Bowler, Hadlee easily.

Cricketer? Still Hadlee.
