Then Steyn and Mcgrath will be out of Top 15. ( Since Marshall and Hadlee better than both and ranks just below Akram )So Akram is like 13 or lower?(since Akram was worse than Imran)

Qadir was much more aesthetic than WarneHe did. He made the art beautiful. And it is copied by several bowlers now.
Will watch Warne over someone like Kumble any day.
So it seems from what I can tell of the myriad polls going around that CW, collectively, rates:
Marshall over McGrath
McGrath over Hadlee
Hadlee over Ambrose
Steyn over Imran
Imran over Lillee
Lillee over Wasim
Donald over Garner
Holding over Roberts
Waqar somewhere around Garner and Holding
Obviously there are a couple of links in the chain missing (Ambrose v Steyn / Wasim v Donald, which I am sure are coming), and the Holding v Garner v Waqar discussion didn’t actually have a poll attached to judge. But that seems to be where we stand right now.
Heres a Steyn vs Ambrose poll(rip Wasim) from a few years ago where it seems as close as Hadlee vs Mcgrath, but Steyn came out on top:So it seems from what I can tell of the myriad polls going around that CW, collectively, rates:

Hmm yeah you're prob right. Maybe in the future, although I think wasim will come just in front of DonaldDon't expect Wasim vs Donald to be one sided at all tbh. Imran/Steyn is different because Steyn is rated in the top 5 of almost everyone.
I think it can be down to preference, Qadir was just had a more classic action.Qadir was much more aesthetic than Warne
Looks about right to meHadlee also came over steyn in a poll and Donald over holding. So I think on CW its marshall>mcgrath>hadlee>steyn>ambrose>imran>lillee>trueman/wasim/Donald>garner/holding>waqar
In your face aggression, his personality.Why is Dennis Lillee credited with revolutionising fast bowling when greats like Ray Lindwall and Fred Trueman had already set high standards?
What makes Lillee stand out as the OG of modern fast bowling despite earlier legends achieving similar success? How did Lillee’s impact on fast bowling go beyond what was done by post-war icons like Ray Lindwall, Alan Davidson and Fred Trueman?
Just curious.
He did it on colour television and he and Thomson liked hitting batsmen, Trueman didn't, Lindwall is... controversial.Why is Dennis Lillee credited with revolutionising fast bowling when greats like Ray Lindwall and Fred Trueman had already set high standards?

It's because of his incredible swag. Walking onto the field with the ol pimp limp, like he owns the place. Icin' it with the chain.Why is Dennis Lillee credited with revolutionising fast bowling when greats like Ray Lindwall and Fred Trueman had already set high standards?

I wonder how much of this played a role.He did it on colour television
