Would be hilarious if Kapil tanks this ngl

As a cricketer? Kapil (close)
As a bowler? Bedser

The bigger question is, why would I??

because you're silly

Kapil very slightly ahead as a cricketer thanks to his batting. Bedser ofc the better bowler.

let me add a stat, when not bowling to a lineup with Donald Bradman, Bedser has

41 matches, 202 wickets @ 21.34, 56.57 strike rate, 2.7 wickets an inning and 15 fifers and 5 tenfers in 75 innings

**** the Bradman

Barnes would've ran havoc, His far, far inferiors in Fazal and Bedser did extremely well.

 

[Johan]

on a flat pitch, who would you take as the bowler?

 

[Thala_0710]

Bedser

 

[capt_Luffy]

Bedser on any pitch really

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Dev

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Kapil Dev far better cricketer.

 

[Prince EWS]

Is this bowling alone?

 

[Coronis]

Is this bowling alone?

Surely

If it's bowling alone I think Bedser and not close.

If it's overall I think Kapil and not close.

 

[kyear2]

Bedser

Trueman or Kapil, who is a better bowler for you?
