Gregory himself played only 24 Tests.... Not to mention according to every report and writing; McDonald was the bowler with skills while Gregory was just fast.

He literally played 1 year of test cricket. Should I rate Barry Richards as a better test batsman than Graeme Pollock too?
He got smashed at home and in SA and pissed off to play league cricket in England once he found out how much friendlier it was for his bowling.

I answered who was the best bowler imo; not the best test bowler.....

By that logic Graeme Hick is the best batsman to average below 40. And Ramprakash and Bevan compete for the below 30 spot.

Hick over Grace, Trumper and Hill?? Yeah......
Also, I can't really think of many batsmen averaging under 30 better than Bevan....

Well he has more hundreds and a higher average than all 3. Must’ve been better.

Frank Woolley has more hundreds than Bradman and Merchant a higher average than Hobbs..... But you very well know what I was talking about.

Since we have a Bradman vs Answer thread, I nominate Bradman as the answer to this thread.

50% of his wickets were ATG batsmen, how many bowlers can claim that?

All of Bradman's test wickets were without any help from his fellow fielders. He probably thought his fielders were no good, and like Wasim decided to do it himself.

Zaheer Khan was nice sometimes.
Although I feel this thread is somewhat a thread of "who is the toughest of the hemophiliacs?"
Chaminda Vaas also just misses out. Another gun.

George Hirst averaged exactly 30

I would say he definitely was very innovative and tough to play for his time; but overall was he better than the likes of Nawaz and Chatfield (aka, the borderline ones in my Top 10?)

Absolutely. Not even close I don't think.

Lyon, Zaheer, Ishant, Flintoff and Hoggard are the best nominations so far. Out of these 5, I will rate Zaheer and Hoggard higher since they led weak attacks for a long time while the other 3 were support bowlers.

Flintoff often led the attack, bowling the most overs even if he didn't take the new rock. Definitely better than Hoggard and Zaheer too IMO
