[Paranoid Kendroid]

Better bowler overall?

 

[morgieb]

Morkel by a pretty significant margin.

Similar averages despite Morkel playing most of his matches in SA

Shami also has an excellent WC record which people don't talk about much in my opinion

If ODIs are included then it's Shami by a decent margin. Only tests is quite close... Could go either way

Jadeja, and it’s not even close

Shami, post hair transplant surgery, was a monster.

Huh. I actually think it's Shami comfortably. Close but comfortably

Ooops, misread Shami as Siraj. No idea why!

Still think I'd take Morkel but in Tests it's admittedly not by a massive margin.

Shami is better. Shami is arguably the greatest World Cup bowler also.
