    Even purely tests, I'd say Merchant has a case. Maybe not ahead of Sunny but debatable

    Merchant faced Voce, Verity, Bedser etc there... So it's not like he was facing crap bowlers either

    All-Time World XIs: Discussion Thread

    Both tours were good I'd say... What about Sunny vs Merchant?

    Merchant could open as well for mankad if you want to sure up the batting further

    Though the tail is pretty weak now

    Siraj vs Kapil is a good debate in Eng... But with that batting I'd go Siraj too

    This is better

    But more importantly, Zak > Siraj

    I would go Ganguly > Vengsarkar > Gill

    His debut ton wasn't in a low scoring game, but not a road either, and was very impressive. His 2007 Nottingham knock in the win was quite good too

    The 1990 tour for Vengsarkar was similar though

    Only 2002

    Vengsarkar had 1 great series and was avg/decent in rest. Ganguly was great or very good each time

    Zaheer over Siraj, Gill vs Ganguly is arguable

    Javagal Srinath vs. Mohd Siraj – the better test bowler

    By potential I meant the a raw skill like pace which can't be taught. He even had swing and reverse swing in his armory. We have seen guys like Ishant adjust their lengths mid career and go fuller. The potential was there imo.

    Javagal Srinath vs. Mohd Siraj – the better test bowler

    Yeah agreed. If he had bowled that little fuller like you said, I think he then justifies the potential he had. Hopefully siraj does a better job of maximizing his potential, and doing it along side Bumrah, not when he's resting.

    Javagal Srinath vs. Mohd Siraj – the better test bowler

    Yeah but this is potential, which he had. His performances sadly couldn't do justice to it.

    Javagal Srinath vs. Mohd Siraj – the better test bowler

    Don't think so tbh. He had the potential to be a great bowler. Pace, swing, control he had almost the complete skill set to be a great bowler, top 20-30 all time imo potentially.

    Well maybe if they were counted against him, he would have corrected it
