I am completely chilled, and i disagree 100%, that Pollock was better than Willis and Ando and Broad where not the same level as Polly , and Larwood was better than all of them, you started the personal attack calling me insane, and its not a general consensus at all. just a couple of you,

You put Gough on the same level as Pollock. Here's what you wrote:" [...] Gough are in the equation too." Don't like being called out, stop posting stuff like this. Anderson for his body of work is fine, even if I believe he's below Pollock but Broad, Snow, Bedser etc no. I also can't help but notice you neglected the other 3rd seamers from other teams I listed. So I guess you think Gough and Broad are also up there with Waqar or Garner or Lindwall.

In the equation of being a great fast bowler. so was Snow. and no i dont think they are up their with Garner, Waqar and Lindwall. and neither is Polly,, however Lindwalls strike rate is not as good as Broads or Andersons, if you dont like being called out then dont accuse me of being insane. its quite simple,

If you're offended by the "insane" comment, I apologize for that. I still disagree with your ratings though but we are all entitled to our opinions.

So I have 33 or so I consider bonafide atgs with the rest there or thereabout depending on my mood. Someone like Bumrah just needs a few more tests. I'm sure I'm forgetting a player or two fwiw.
