Garner / Pollock / McGrath / Hadlee

Anyways, this topic is not for this thread.

He might be correct in facts that he stated. But that doesn't take a lot of factors into consideration.

1. If you check my post properly, I did not say odi bowler. I said limited overs spinner. How many can lay claim to being a better spinner than Rashid Khan in both odis and t20s?
2. Afghanistan doesn't play many games. So the sample size will be smaller
3. He passes my eye test. I didn't look into stats. No batsman plays him easily while I have seen all spinners getting thrashed. Most of the batsmen just play him out and hit the other bowlers. That could explain the higher average taken specifically to discount his awesome stats
4. Not just internationals. He has proved himself in so many other t20 leagues as well. He is one of the first names picked in any league

All very reasonable opinions, of course, but also very easy to dispute the reasoning

Don't make CW into a mini youtube comments section with all these sarcastic smilies.

Cut out the sarcasm and talk properly. I will then respond to you.

You already responded....and I can use sarcasm when people make baseless and silly comments. No one who is sane can believe Rashid Khan is a top 2 or all time spinner in LO format. That's plain s...

I wouldn't even say they are reasonable. it's just media hype used to hype up R Khan as an Afghan "superstar" by biased media organisations pushing things like the IPL.

This is a guy who only has 15 wickets against the better t20 sides (excl Bang) and is averaging a full 13 runs more with the ball. 2nd best LO spinner is a joke opinion.

I don't want to sound too harsh but come on now, I joined the forum thinking people would actually know about the sport and not just be trolls.

I rate Mujeeb ur Rahman to be a better spinner than Rashid Khan

I responded to TJB whose views I respect.

You can leave if you wish to.

You can leave if you wish to.

I wish not to...there we go, we're at an impasse.

Looks like i'll stay and laugh at your quite ridiculous posts.

Even at infancy, jayjay is building quite a reputation here.

I mean you’re the one who rates James Anderson as a better bowler than Dale Steyn

Just bringing this back on topic, when watching highlights of Garner, he had a great yorker for a man who was so tall. It really must have hurt his back as that is no easy task.

 

[h_hurricane]

Elaborate, please?

I wouldn't

You explain a joke and the joke is dead.

You explain jayjay and CW is dead.

I can not and must not be explained

McGrath for mine, was the most important piece of the Waugh/Punter era dominant Australia. So for me, (barring skills like captaincy /leadership, intangibles) that makes him the best cricketer, bar none of the modern era, defined as starting roughly some time in the early 70s.

 

[BazBall21]

Voted McGrath. Changed to Garner.

 

[Chrish]

McGrath is always the right answer (along with Jadeja of course)..

 

[shortpitched713]

Wait ****. The original question is for ODIs, and I was assuming Tests as per usual.

Cricket Web why did you change so much?
