Yes, it's another player comparison...

McDermott. Not by much though. SRT, incidentally, rates him the 4th best Australian bowler he ever faced (behind McGrath, Warne, Lee).

Pains you why?

For a few reasons, when I think about it;

1) Dizzy is South Australian-bred and a cool dude and want to support a local. Decent bowler too!
2) McDermott used to regularly destroy South Australia's batting line-up (when it was good*) in Sheffield Shield cricket.
3) He was the one bowler who managed to make one of my other favourite players, Greg Blewett, look absolutely ordinary. Blewwy always rated him as the best he ever faced.



* Before anyone gives me any crap for that remark, yes SA used to have a reasonable batting line-up. They chased down 506 in the 4th innings against a very strong QLD side. It was the bowling which was the big problem in those days......

Aha, link to the QLD game;

Seriously, has anyone seen what Big Mac looks like these days? Who'd wanna watch it!?

Mac here.


I think Dizzy got a lot of class at the other end because of Warne and McGrath and I think his best years or his peak was a lot lesser than McDermott's. That man carried the attack when they weren't so good...
