warne, imran, or murali?

[hang on]

how would u rank them in terms of their bowling?

in the case that u don't prefer imran over either or both the spinners, are there any fast bowler whom u would rank over them?

not sure how polls are set up on this site but would appreciate it if an administrator could help out with this.

(a discussion with blaze on the sobers v. imran thread gave me this idea. apologies if this has been done before.)

Warne = Murali (have never managed to split these two in Tests so I'm not going to try now) > Imran for me.

 

[Teja.]

Murali>Imran>Warne, for me, as bowlers. Hell of a split-hair job though, esp. between the last two.

Murali>Imran>Warne, for me...

Yeah, among pace bowlers, I would rank Hadlee, Marshall and Barnes above Murali.

 

[Blaze 18]

Imran Khan > Warne and Muralitharan.

i forgot to mention that warne and murali would both be ahead of imran, in my humble...

What poll options are you looking for? Just a straight Imran vs. Murali vs. Warne option or some other combination?

 

[vcs]

Well, there are 6 possible permutations, so all could be added..

 

[hang on]

my word! that was quick -- thanks, fusion.

i suppose, as vcs says, the 6 options one would give people the best chance of expressing themselves! but even the simplest one would do.

If you want to cop out and put two (or more) players as equal (like I did), then you'd need 7 more options by my count..

 

[hang on]

nah. in any event, this is a gun to the head sort of exercise, in my book at least. and so an equal option is not to be encouraged!

and, thanks, fusion.

Done. I must admit that while I’m one of the biggest Imran admirers, I find the recent uptick in discussion around him on CW puzzling. How did he become the focus of attention all of a sudden? I personally don’t mind though, as it seems to be generating a lot of healthy back-and-forth on CC, which is good to see.

Tests alone or Test + ODI?

Tests alone; Murali = Warne > Imran
ODI: Murali >> Warne > Imran
Overall: Murali > Warne > Imran

 

[Blaze 18]

The absence of the 'Imran > Muralitharan = Warne' option meant that I had to try and split the two - something I hate doing. In the end, I went for Warne.

This.

 

[sledger]

Warne beats the two nobodies hands down.

 

[Maximus0723]

Yea, Is this Tests or ODI or both?

And what is your criteria? Best bowler(s) or Greatest bowler(s)?

 

[Prince EWS]

On bowling alone I'd go Murali > Imran > Warne.
As cricketers I'd go Imran > Warne > Murali.

Tests only unless specifically stated otherwise - an unwritten rule of CricketWeb.
