Amongst current batsmen from the sub-continent,who is the best player of pace?

Avada Kedavra · 21-10-2010, 12:44 PM

Well?

Tendulkar/Sangakkara tie.

Avada Kedavra · 21-10-2010, 12:59 PM

I went with Lax.I left Tendu out of the poll to avoid a one-sided affair and the usual mundane arguments

Sangakkara for sure. I'd put im equal with Dravid when it comes to playing pace. If you want the player who can play the bullying, fast, short, furious bowling, then it's Jayawardane of youth, the best puller and hooker out of the above. He starts to look ordinary when the ball is pitched up.

Sanga or Tendulkar.

Sangakkara for sure. Not just good against pace, but also on bouncy/fast pitches.

Count out Mohammed "Never scored a run in Aus or RSA" Yousuf and Lieutenant Mahela Colombo.

Sanga from that list.

Younis is not too good either. Tendulkar should have been there. It would have been a good contest between Tendy and Sanga

Exactly. My list will be 1. Tendulkar, 2. Dravid, 3. Sanga.

Yeah I was thinking of analogous threads to this one. This would be like having a poll "Best Sub-continental fast bowlers of the 1990s" and then you don't add Wasim and Waqar.
