He played the best teams of his era though.
No it's not.
Curtly was great against Australia.
As it kinda should be if we're talking rh GOAT conversation.
We demerit Lillee for the same thing. The only difference is that Ambrose has a mixed record in Pakistan otherwise they similar.
Lillee is nowhere near anything Ambrose was in Australia.
Wasim was perfectly good vs Australia. Donald struggled.
Lillee has an entire career there taking 5 WPM. What more can you expect? Ambrose doesn't even take 4WPM at home. It's not comparable.
Just saying there is an obvious inconsistency.
probably because Ambrose is top three tourists to both Australia and England, whom have controlled cricketing narrative until fairly recently.
Average less than 23 maybe a good starting point?? Dude, you can't seriously think Lillee was better in Australia?
Ah Yes, extremely important to mention that! otherwise I thought it was a comparison of Gavaskar's bedser-esque masterful cutters and swing bowling, with Ambrose's Weekes-esque aggressive cutting, hooking and pulling.
Glad I can't see the comment that necessitated that response
Exactly. Lol
I think it was @Prince EWS who once opined that the reason he didn't rate Lillee as highly had less to do with where he didn't play, but rather his numbers considering where he did.
