Australia's Greatest Ever Fast Bowler?

[Redbacks]

Given Cummins already has memorable-abia being flogged off by C9 he must surely get the vote.

First Cummings, now Pattinson, where are they coming from. Nice young talent, wish the W.I had one of them.

 

[Athlai]

So you think Lillee, Thomson, Roberts and Holding weren't express pace?

Mate. It's time for bed.

With modern shoe technology I think fast bowling has increased by leaps and bounds.

****. Forget these youngsters playing in this test match and this Cummins chap. I saw a young guy a few years back in Aussie by the name of Cameron. He had all the goods. He was bloody quick, but also reliable and on the money pretty much from ball one. He puts all these young tykes in the shade. Pretty sure he could swing it both ways. In to the right hander and even away from the left hander. I couldn't believe it when I saw that he could do both. He had great stamina, but pretty much a complete muppet with the bat. Really could have been one of the best. Now, I've never actually seen Dennis Lillee, but I definitely think he was better than him. What's more, I doubt there's been many coloured guys to play for Australia, and he could have broken down the barricades for the next generation; given how much of a Mongrel State that Australia is in demographic terms.

I don't really know if the use of 'no homo' there is justified.

No you don't.

 

[Spikey]

pat cummins hasn't taken a wicket against someone other than SA glenn mcgrath glenn mcgrath is the best.

matt hayden is the best opener ever too

 

[Furball]

Burgey's Hussey shout looking better and better.

 

[Burgey]

Hussey.

A late bloomer, but his best ever year with the ball in 2011.

 

[Redbacks]

He's no Pattinson though.

 

[Spikey]

I reckon that says quite a lot for Clarke's captaincy compared to Ponting's as well, but that's for a different thread.

settles the clarke v ponting debate tbh


pending likka doing some statsguru-ing, of course
