Sachin can't even be compared with Steve Smith. Sachin is like Paul Morphy, Smith is like Magnus Carlsen.

for the record.

Marshall, Imran, Lillee and Trueman are all in my top 10 pacers ever, Barnes too but not exactly from Gavaskar era.

He is just joking.
(And it's pretty easy to see)
That's the problem with Comparison forum, the stupid theories for picking one player over another like performed in X Country better than player Y are often more stupid than the sarcasm, joking posts. Hard to tell the difference 😀

It's easy to spot sarcasm.

I blame Wasim Akram for going on national TV and insulting Lillee for his Asia record, that led to the whole Asia checklisting fiasco.

It did happen, Wasim went on national TV and drew a comparison between Marshall and Lillee, and basically said Lillee didn't take wickets in Asia and relied on pacey tracks, which I find funny as Wasim walks around here with a James Anderson tier away record.

You could criticize him for his record all you want (no matter in how outlandishly unjust manner), but you can't deny that's a Really solid point which we all agree upon and hence rate Marshall over Lillee

I rate Macko above Lillee because his record is just better, and he was just more skilled, not because Asia or whatever.

His record being just better has like, extremely significantly to do with his one India and two Pakistan tours. Both have similar records in England, Lillee stampede NZ, both around the same at home and Marshall's Australia record while Great, wasn't more so than other ATGs. Lillee also was top tier for longer and has a higher WPM. Marshall demolishing Great batting units in roads is what really separates him from Lillee and is the main reason I rate him over McGrath and Hadlee.
