Cricketweb decides the greatest bowler ever in a 64 player bracket. Contest thread.

Ha ha yes, who would have thought that achieving the greatest statistical bowling performance in Test history would have a favourable impact on a bloke’s career numbers?

Another way of putting it is this, however - take away that once-in-history performance that will likely never be beaten, and Laker still took 174 wickets at 23.

Was only pointing out how much of an impact that one Test made - not suggesting that his career wasn't great of course.

Trueman's SR in that tuk tuk era is truly remarkable.. Almost similar to Steyn's SR in this era tbh

Still holding a grudge that McGrath hasn't made it this far.

yeah Verity has overachieved due to the randomisation of this thing. Not so sure it was a great idea but w/e live and learn

Not to be the ass in the room, but how did we not see that kind of thing happening.

It's exactly what I said would happen.
