Guys, so what are the 5 greatest bowling attacks ever fielded?

My view:
80s WI
2000s Aus
50s England
Mid 90s SA
Early 2010s SA

Do you think Imran was only marginally worse than McGrath?

A bowler who averaged 25, 28 & 28 away from home is a bowlers era vs the 3 good teams of his time?

I have already explained in multiple previous posts why I donot consider those averages at face value because there were lots of high scoring series Imran played where other great bowlers also put up similar or worse numbers. You ignored it the last three times I posted it.

I won't bother going through it again, you can dig it up if you want to.

Maybe cas McGrath averaged 29 and 31 in SL and Pak, and 27 overall against the best batting lineup he faced?

Lol let's see if this is addressed

Early 2010s SA

Early 90s WI has 80s WI and the 2 RSA teams beat. The other 2 are trickier comparisons.

Do you think that McGrath, having bowled in the flat pitch era with no drop off in quality and still had better number than Imran, isn't of some value to an ATG team?

That McGrath would perfectly compliment Marshall and had a legendary partnership with Warne isn't of some value?

Can the team with this batting not afford to have a no. 11 batsman who may actually be the 2nd best guy ever?

The guy that propelled Australia to one of the best two teams ever?

No value in any of that?

Plesse cite where anyone said Mcgrath would be of no value to an ATG team.

McGrath vs Imran as bowlers is similar to Sachin vs Lara. Not much difference in either case.

He doesn't need to. Strawmans dont work like that.

He consider Imran more like Yousuf or Jaya than Lara.

Don't think 50s England/90s SA deserve to be there ahead of Kohli's India or Imran's Pakistan tbh.
