Tip,
never mention Dennis Lillee is greater than McGrath. Forum will tar and feather you if you say something other than what is the in-crowd opinion 😉

Even suggesting Watson better than Green as an allrounder I got blasted, despite Green only having part-time bowler success of 25 wkts in 21 Tests

There was a very respected poster on C247 (English, from Kent but sadly no longer with us) who frankly knew more about the history of cricket than anyone I've ever come across. He would always have Lillee as his number 1 bowler. It was as much due to the raw pace he generated when young as to the way he re-invented himself following injuries.

You didn't get blasted, you just said something extremely contentious that a lot of people found dubiously reasoned and they brought other interpretations of those same statistics.

Moeen's bowling maybe trash but he adds to the depths of that batting line up which already had pretty good depth

Also its not like Leach was going to take a bag

Considering the English attack are walking around with crutches half the team I think leach is a big blow
