Don't get what this post is getting at. He rates McGrath as the best ever, and might have Hadlee higher in a team overall. Whereas you chose Knott while having Gilchrist in your XI which is visible just below your posts.
Higher how?

If it's based on bowling it's McGrath and Marshall, it it's based on batting it's Marshall and Hadlee, in any event. Just asked a question.

I have had multiple conversations recently when I said I was voting for Knott this time around.

I think it was around two weeks ago, you're free to check.

And it's one I have 0 issue with.



He might even get my vote in the upcoming thread. Not as a sympathy vote, but he's legitimately an AT keeper and was good enough with the bat

BTW if you look at his team which is visible below his posts, he has all 3 pacers in his XI.

Question:- Which keeper do you have in your team?

So we didn't select the best new ball bowler of all time and the bowler consistently chosen as the 2nd best bowler of all time

Why?

He couldn't bat.

But doesn't he bat no. 11?

Yup.

And aren't there the best batsmen in the world above him?

Yup.

The actual ****

Why do you ignore a simple question @kyear2 is Knott in your all time XI or not?

Those evil Kiwis are up to no good and forced CW voters to choose that Hadlee bloke.
 

Bolo.

International Captain

Chris Martin is a better bowler than Sobers. If we are picking a bowler, might as well pick Martin. The quality of Sobers' batting clearly doesn't count cos Martin batted at 11.

Or we could consider the batting of both people when making a comparison between them?
