McGrath is a genuine number 11. There are many with lower high scores as an 11. Great bowler though he is.

There not as good bowlers as he is though.

 

[jimmy101]

Fred Trueman 39*

Keep in mind old Fred scored 3 centuries at FC level.

 

[StephenZA]

Sachin Tendular 248*

 

[Slifer]

Allan Donald 37 and Bill O'Reilly 56

 

[StephenZA]

Dennis Lillee 73

 

[jimmy101]

Shane Warne 99

I have Darrell Hair to thank for this low, low price

Because I'm a nerd and procrastinating (plus want to stroke my own ego), here's a table of the R1 picks by 'Value Ratio' (which is obviously exclusively measuring batting).

Name	Test HS	FC Ave	Value Ratio
Mike Procter	48​	36.01​	0.250​
Fred Trueman	39​	15.56​	0.601​
Barry Richards	140​	54.74​	0.609​
SF Barnes	38​	12.78​	0.664​
Keith Miller	147​	48.90​	0.667​
Allan Donald	37​	12.05​	0.674​
Imran Khan	136​	36.79​	0.729​
Curtly Ambrose	53​	13.95​	0.737​
Jack Hobbs	211​	50.70​	0.760​
Sachin Tendulkar	248​	57.84​	0.767​
Adam Gilchrist	204​	44.16​	0.784​
Glenn McGrath	61​	7.75​	0.873​
Bryan Young	267​	32.14​	0.880​

Value Ratio = 1-(FC Ave/Test HS)

wow I'm glad I've sparked something in you Dan


I pick Waqar Younis at 45. I feel he's basically as good as McGrath or only a smidgeon worse so I'm happy with this value too

 

[anil1405]

i can smell what kingkallis is cooking now.

 

[mr_mister]

King Kallis > Honest Bharani > Battler's prince

 

[G.I.Joe]

i can smell what kingkallis is cooking now.

misal pav?

 

[mr_mister]

I like how you know some players just will not possibly get picked. Gillespie, Lara, Akram etc. Makes it interesting having such random great players be such horrible selections. Of Cause RTB might prove me wrong

 

[kingkallis]

Anil, haha!

I could not resist picking the best fast bowler ever though. Malcolm Marshall!

 

[mr_mister]

yeah good val. I often forget he never got a ton
