Glad you said arguably...Wa
Walsh above Trueman? Interesting.
Trueman is arguably greatest bowler ever.
Do rate Trueman. Just pointing out his resume has holes. That he didn't tour because of issues with selectors is on him for the most part. The checklist exists for a reason.Nah. The West Indies roads he played on were incredibly dreary and draw central. The fact that he didn't tour match has to do with not getting on with the selectors. That's about as much as Steyn averaged in Australia too btw. This is classic rating by checklist btw.
Even then Trueman was a true match winner and ran through lineups ridiculously often. Difference in averages and strike rate is huge.
Hey, you can't blame him for being a Yorkshireman.Do rate Trueman. Just pointing out his resume has holes. That he didn't tour because of issues with selectors is on him for the most part. The checklist exists for a reason.
Walsh ran through plenty of lineups too. 22 5-fers. Not like he lacked competition either.
i guess so... not sure... but yeah... probably...Walsh below Dev???
bit strong but yeah there doesn't seem to have been many bowlers you could turn to and be fairly sure you'd get a wicket in the 1945-1970s times, when batting scoring rates were about one run an hourA bowler with Trueman's strike power is very rare. Only Steyn, Waqar and Marshall are comparable in that respect really.
And Donald too. Strike rate is one under-rated feature of his career.Only Steyn, Waqar and Marshall are comparable in that respect really.
Did you miss Hadlee? That sucks. Genuinely great bowler.Can rank the ones I have watched:
Murali
Warne
Walsh
Kapil
