With Miller and Imran won't be too bad honestly

 

[kyear2]

I think the gap between Sachin and Viv is almost non existent while I think there's a gap between Steyn and McGrath so going Viv/McG

This.

 

[kyear2]

this actually doesn't make sense

Not in the slightest tbh.

 

[kyear2]

This might be an unpopular opinion but the gap between Sachin and Richards is slightly bigger for me than the gap between Mcgrath and Steyn

So of the people who liked this, Coronis and PEWS don't like Viv, expected... Luffy worships the Indian big three, so no surprise.

But @OverratedSanity interested in your take. Is it that you believe there's a sizeable gap between Sachin and Viv or you rate Steyn really close to McGrath, or both?

I don't really know what to add. I agree that the small gap between McGrath and Steyn is smaller than the small gap between Sachin and Viv. That's about it.

What is the Indian big three that @capt_Luffy worships by the way? Need to know so that I can do it too.

Rates them higher than kyear? I haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary re: his opinions on them.

Consistency : McGrath > Steyn
Explosive : Steyn > McGrath
It depends on what you seek in a pacer

Outside the SC, McGrath was every bit the high impact match player that Steyn was just at a slower SR.

But folks here underestimate McGraths control which had a spillover effect on the rest of the attack.

Steyn could literally lose you games when not clicking. McGrath won't lose anything. He was a machine.

There is a clear and notable gap between the bowlers.

Steyn was similar to his predecessor Donald. On his day, he could run through an attack but he could leak runs which happened a lot.

McGrath/Ambrose are quite similar - Even on those days they may not get wickets, they are literally impossible to score runs against.

Yeah but McGrath and Ambrose on their day could run through lineups too.

Just to remind folks, McGrath has 2 8fers and 2 7fers to 1 7fer for Steyn.

Steyn is like Rabada (but effective everywhere)
McGrath is like Bumrah (but in a much fitter body)

Steyn has 3 fewer 5fers and 2 more 10fers in 30 fewer matches.

Much of the gulf can be explained with McGrath having Warne and others to compete with wickets with but Steyn is a fifer king no doubt for quick impactful spells.

Steyn bowled in a pretty good overall attack, especially in the 2010s. He had no Warne to compete with for, but Philander, Morkel, Abbott, later on Rabada were all real threats, especially at Home.

 

[DrWolverine]

Steyn may not have played with Warne but he played alongside many good bowlers.
