    Best Attack

    I think so as well. He was the better bowler and a good enough batsman, to me that still makes Hadlee the better cricketer in my book.

    Marshall vs Imran (as bowlers)

    You're being idiotic as usual. 1. Said it doesn't take away from, but it's surely a plus to a resume. 2. Hadlee get credit for making NZ a much tougher challenge than they ever had any right being. 3. As great as Sachin and Lara were, they couldn't ever get the victories without the...

    Why is it viewed as more important

    Yes I have. That's the thing though, I've never said there isn't value. What I said that with this team's batting line up, it reduces the chances that the strong tail would be needed, and even more crucially, I don't think any attack capable of blowing away this one would be held up long by the...

    Why is it viewed as more important

    This is the thing I don't get. How is no.8 in a batting line up of Hobbs, Bradman, Richards, Tendulkar and Gilchrist etc. be more valuable than a 5th bowler who will have to bowl to assist with rotations and on a faster pitch can be your 4th seamer or on a spinning pitch either be your 3rd...

    We could have come back 🤣 God that was depressing though.

    Marshall vs Imran (as bowlers)

    For someone who has literally only two agendas on this forum it's incredibly rich for you to describe anyone else as being cringe. Believe it or not the aim of the game has always been to win, not accumulate stats and in every other sport it's a factor.

    Marshall vs Imran (as bowlers)

    The thing is, we can agree to disagree. In cricket winning seems to mean nothing in these discussions, and I'm not saying that alone plays a part in the criteria, but it sure adds to it. And Marshall not McGrath needs that dimension added to be at the very top. We keep bringing up this ****...

    Best Attack

    If you recall, Lillee for quite some time was seen as the best in and the world, and ever, while not playing in the SC, or Caribbean for that matter. It wasn't seen as that important till either recently or we decided it was a litmus test. Even Ambrose, he did well vs England and Australia, and...

    Best Attack

    Kinda think this is actually important, as I mentioned earlier, and serious over kill.

    Why is it viewed as more important

    Ummm I've seen matches won by bowling all-rounders and rank tailenders alike, I've seen matches won by spectacular catches and while it's a extreme example I've seen a series potentially lost in the cordon as well only last year. I seen Kallis win matches with the ball, Sobers did a couple...

    🤣🤣🤣 I try to watch them all, especially FP2 though. But the Sprint shootout is up next so, may as well watch both.

    Why is it viewed as more important

    No one said they didn't, unlike some who tries to change people's minds, I'm just trying to understand. And this isn't about individual players, it's about philosophies and though processes. Not another ATG discussion. And of course you have the option to ignore.

    Why is it viewed as more important

    A few months ago, @Prince EWS and I conducted an all star game like draft, just trying to pick two equally strong teams, hopefully the stranger knew, but I digress. He had Imran and Sobers, I started with Bradman and Marshall (win already, I know), but I recall thinking about the most...

    Why is it viewed as more important

    Why do certain members of the community seem to have a heater affinity for bowling all rounders over other dual types of cricketers. I've made my arguments and the best I've received is that everyone has to bat, not everyone has to bowl. That doesn't quantifiably indicate how it's contributed to...

    Marshall + McGrath vs Imran + Steyn

    Brilliant, couldn't agree with these two posts more.

    Marshall + McGrath vs Imran + Steyn

    If you've never seen how Sobers bat then you're not trying to, lots of examples of him bowling and catching as well. Bradman is a little harder, but it exists as well.

    Best Attack

    If I understand you, basically home is only worth as much as any other country on your record.

    Marshall vs Imran (as bowlers)

    1. We're just talking about bowling here, so the rest of it isn't being discussed. 2. I don't think we factoring in odi exploits
