Verity definitely got overrated a bit in that thread. He's still better than grimmett imo,whose bowling just doesn't pass the modern eye test imo. Of course, players from older eras are going to look worse/different sometimes because it was different conditions and different techniques. But Grimmett's bowling action seems to completely lack the powerful surge through delivery even other bowlers from his era had. I can see quicks like Lindwall, Miller, Farnes etc. being successful in any era with a bit of adjustment unlike Grimmett who looks really floaty to me and doesn't look like the revs are there.
The above could be nonsense and admittedly players shouldn't be judged on how they hypothetically might do in an imaginary era but I don't think his actual numbers are overwhelmingly great enough to compensate for that.
