This gets my vote for the biggest stretch in the history of CW. Harmison and Tremlett, an up and down seamer with an average of 28 and a guy who hasn't played a test, destined to be the greatest ever opening pair.Barney Rubble said:
Anyway, my vote would probably be for Holding/Roberts, but Lillee/Thomson and Wasim/Waqar aren't far behind. We were blessed in the 90s to not only have the Ws but also McGrath/Gillespie, Ambrose/Walsh and Donald/Pollock.

Gillespie at his best was certainly as good as Walsh, in my opinion. Significantly better than Waqar after his injuries.Blaze said:
Anyway, I'm not saying the four pairs are all equal, I'm saying that in the 90s we had 4 great opening pairs all at the same time.

Very mean with the new ball, when batsman did not wear helmets. Davidson ranked them No. 4 & 8 on his top 10 list of fast bowlers. Here is the list. (1963)Beleg said:

Wasim & Waqar, Pollock & Donald, Curtly & Courtney, Lillee & Thommo and any pair from the old West Indian pacey greats really.

Nissar and Amar Singh both played for India and many years before the idea os Pakistan was born.Dasa said:Completely forgot about that one...
How about the next Wasim Akram - Pathan, and the other next..er...Wasim Akram, Zaheer Khan?
PS I am assuming you think Nissar was a Pakistani bowler.
