I love Marshall, but I've already said I discount all performances against England in the eighties or nineties.

LOL, thats a bit harsh.

 

[aussie]

both great bowling performances on flat pitches, but i'll give it Sarfraz since his was in the 4th innings.

Holding

Just outside my arbitrary disqualification period. and over 600 scored in the first innings, couldn't have been a terrible pitch.

Australia must have been hampered by Packer at the time too.

 

[TT Boy]

Sarfraz Nawaz, seven wickets for one run.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Tough one. Sarfraz won the match pretty much on his own by taking Australia from 3/305 to 310 all out chasing 382, so he has to get the vote, despite the team being utterly rubbish aside from Border and Hughes.
