Noone saw McGrath as a support bowler.
I don't think they did Garner either. I know his career was a bit later, but Walsh was the support bowler.

how are we supposed to make a better assessment of players than their playing peers btw???
Saying that, I'll go everyone pre-1930s.

You don't have to constantly poke the bear.
And it wasn't like they troubled him per say.

Don't see how anyone could have watched cricket during that era and beloved that McGrath was Warne's support bowler.
Literally the exact opposite of reality.
There's kind of an element of this about Johnny Wardle too, though that was Yorkshire ending both his domestic and international careers.

Whatever it takes!!!
I like how going to sleep at night hours is now considered "being silent". Maybe salty is salty about me having a life too. The butthurt must be SKY high now after the WC win. 
In other facts, here is Kumble talking about how he could never get on top of Lara.

Salty just cant accept better cricketers

My wife thought I was probably joking: Anil Kumble on bowling with broken jaw
Kumble rates Lara as one of the toughest batters he had bowled to, as the Prince of Trinidad has three shots for one delivery.

Except Lara literally says that they did.
A bigger person admits their mistakes. You claimed Lara didn't have an issue with flatter spin bowlers. I showed you the clip he says just that. Instead of taking the L and admitting this, you deflect.I like how going to sleep at night hours is now considered "being silent". Maybe salty is salty about me having a life too.

I have literally seen Lara bat all through his career and while he says he found it harder to face flatter spinners, it does not mean he had trouble facing them. There is a world of difference and any sane person can see that. Which is what Kumble showed in his interview as well.
But salty can carry on cribbing about stuff that only exist in his head. Reality shows Lara is the best player of spin in my time of watching cricket.
Its sad his life must be pathetic enough to warrant calling these Ws and Ls when its just posting about a sport you follow.

Exist in my head? Lara literally gave several examples of such flatter spinners, said they caused him problems and didn't want to face them. You don't want to talk about the clip itself.
I guess Lara doesn't know his game better than you do.

Yeah stuff like what he actually scored against them doesn't matter.
And the same bowlers saying they had no idea where to bowl at Lara doesn't matter either. Maybe the bowlers didn't know their own games as well as salty does.

Keep your opinions fixed like stone then. Hopefully the others learned something.

Had no idea Lara struggled against flatter spinners.

I can not remember a single spinner that was not flat. Maybe because I follow men's cricket only.

The most he struggled against was Raju. Who flighted it a lot.

That was early career, yes?

93/94 I presume. WI had a great escape in India because Jimmy Adamas knew how to use the pad against Kumble, Raju and Chauhan.

Did Gooch actually say that?
I think Qadirs rating is so high for being the top spinner of the 80s. Tho Qasim may have a say.
