DoG's Top 100 Test Bowlers Countdown Thread 100-1

[harsh.ag]

Hall's SR adjustment is huge

 

[ankitj]

Hmm at least 7 bowlers in the top 50?? Not bad. Too bad we (wi) probably won't have any more for who knows how long...

In addition to Hall, I think these 7 can't miss the countdown: Marshall, Ambrose, Walsh, Holding, Garner, Roberts, Gibbs. So at least 8 in all.

Edit: Gibbs already appeared.

Maybe ian bishop might make the cut.

I should hope so. Bishop was a gun.

Did I miss Colin Croft in the 51-100?

Did I miss Colin Croft in the 51-100?

Did he have a good enough record to bake this list? He didn't take a huge amount of wickets and nor did he have a great average. He has a reputation but statistically I'm not sure how good he was.

 

[Adders]

He'll be talked about long after Peter Siddle is forgotten......and he made the list.

Didn't he average like 23?

Ive already forgotten about who ever you are attempting to talk up boi.

Long live Peter.

 

[Slifer]

If frank Tyson and stuart Clark can make this list then I'm optimistic about colin and ian

Should I start a Colin croft vs Peter Siddle thread?

Certainly.

Indeed. I must be mixing him up with someone else. I thought his average was 30.

I just checked. I'm mistaking him for Benjamin. My bad.

Turns out that Croft had a very similar career to Harris/Reid. 27 tests each, low 20s average, 110+ wickets ( >4 wpm).

As long as NUFUN is alive and kicking, Peter Siddle will be in the public domain.

Which one?

 

[stephen]

Which one?

Kenny.

Averaged 23.30 with a S/R of 49.3...

Yes, I got his average mixed up in my head with Kenny Benjamin's average.
