Test

Starc vs Shami would have been the battle

 

[Thala_0710]

I would place Kapil at around Wagner-Broad level amongst the modern guys.

Wagner is a different breed.

Wagner is a different breed.

Both have a similar match factor, Kapil actually wins if you remove Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Wagner has the higher WPM but Kapil's longevity balances it out for me.
Wagner also didn't have to play much in the places where he wasn't good like Asia. His record there reads 5 matches 8 wkts @48.625. Played 41/64 games at home. Between the two, there isn't much but I'll go Kapil.

Wagner bowled only 2-3 matches with the new ball and bowled 45 out of 64 matches as a 2nd change and 3rd change pacer.

That's because he wasn't good with the new ball. That's his fault. His strength was to bowl tirelessly with the older ball, short in length and at the batter.

Which series was more tough for batting?
Aus vs sa 2018 or Ind vs sa 2018 ?

Ind vs Sa

Ind vs Sa

On how tough it was for batting, I don't even think the 2 series were really even close

 

[PlayerComparisons]

The pitches for the Aus vs SA series were pretty good for batting. Not comparable to Indias last three series in SA.

Not true ,
Yes Ind vs sa 2018 was more bowling friendly but Aus vs sa 2018 was also very very tough for batting.

I think Lee is a worse Bolwer than Starc because Starc economy is better than Lee despite playing in T20 dominating era and against Bazball.

Yeah, Lee is worse. Doesn't make Starc better than Kapil.

And really? Economy??
