Good match up. I'd give Walsh a slight edge here as he has fewer holes in CV.

Walsh vs Anderson - who was the better test bowler?

Walsh for me, still. Whether it's peak (definitely) or career (slightly), he was still better.

Courtney Walsh vs. Jimmy Anderson

Both bowlers are known for their tremendous longevity, being superb in their latter years and are somewhat underrated in the ATG ratings as well. Walsh has slightly better stats but was in a more sporting era for bowlers. Anderson persevered in a tough era and is still continuing to do well.

In fact opinion just keeps swinging further away from Jimmy.
