Progression of the 'best fast bowler' title post war

No. Call me up when he has significantly better average than Cummins and Haze.
Yes Starc is massively overrated. He's incredible when he's on song (2015 WC, 2016 in Sri Lanka) but he's quite often not on song. If Pattinson wasn't perpetually injured Starc wouldn't even warrant a place in the Aus team.

do i want to read this thread or will it sap my will to live
The reasoning your hypothesis doesn't translate into a factual conclusion is because there are clearly other factors you're not taking into account. It's really that simple.

Actually he 'would'. Not because he's better than the other three, but because he's left handed. And you know, muh variety.

If you wanted to choose three pacers during different eras, post war, may be one would go...

Lindwall, Miller, Bedser
Trueman, Davidson, Hall
P. Pollock, McKenzie, Snow
Lillee, Roberts, Willis
Imran, Botham, Holding
Marshall, Hadlee, Garner
Ambrose, Akram, Waqar
McGrath, Donald, S. Pollock
Steyn, Johnson, Anderson
Rabada, Philander, Starc
I'd have Fazal in there somewhere but that's a fine list. Cant comment on the current era yet because it's still playing out in front of us. There's always a chance they **** up massively.

Johnson always blew too hot and cold, and Anderson has mostly been meh outside of England, yet there's Steyn being a gun (pun intended!)

Thought I'd come to this thread for a break. Sadly it has caught the same **** the other thread has. This stuff is infectious. It should be moved into it's own forum for quarantine :(

I moved it into that thread to get it out of here.
