Imran Khan vs Shaun Pollock (as bowlers)

[shortpitched713]

I've searched high and wide for this comparison, but don't find it anywhere. Think most just have Imran way higher as a batsman and overall all-rounder/cricketer, but what about just as pure bowlers?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Imran as a bowler is not underrated…in ATG realm. Not so sure about Pollock tho

Are we talking test cricket? It’s not even a comparison.
Might as well compare Sachin and Hayden - oh wait…

Imran is arguably a top 5 fast bowler of all time, Pollock great though he was might not make the top 15 for me.

Are we allowing bottlecaps?

Are we allowing bottlecaps?

Yes, but only for Imran.

Are we allowing bad SP's parentheses markup with unnecessary spaces? No, IMO.

I agree. We must find a way to somehow remove those extraneities.

I make my own grammar, and my own rulez .

In my owld age I enjoy unnecessarily large fonts, extra spaces, and any other kind of trick to make text more readable.

Aside from which everything in that post is awful

 

[Line and Length]

Any consideration about 'who is better' that involves Imran needs to acknowledge he was a self-confessed cheat (ball tamperer).

Imran hands down the better bowler. The answer was there in my post.

I prefer self confessed to those who did so and pretend they didn't.

 

[shortpitched713]

Ball tampering is rife in every sport which involves leather and wood. It's honestly not at all surprising to me that some do it, and I expect there are many more that the authorities simply don't care to bring out / slip under view.

I support this view if you both are willing to agree that

Kohli > Smith because Kohli is not a self-confessed cheat.

At bowling? Sure

So you accept Bumrah > Cummins?
