Greatest Overseas Bowler

[Coronis]

for one of you or me, three of these guys are hacks.

We’re talking two easily top 15 players in their disciplines and an arguable top 25. Hacks isn’t the word I’d use.

Only one of the statements is true.

Doesn't matter. You're a poo poo man.

nah, I'm not a @trundler

 

[the big bambino]

SF Barnes with Bill O'Reilly in the mix.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Anyway, the answer is Ajaz Patel - 100% of his (85) test wickets have been taken overseas.

I know. You’re just not funny sometimes. British people usually are but you’re sounding more American

This implies I'm funny most of the time.

Depends what the funny baseline is

The Ratios the great bowlers make with their peers in away games from mine and @Coronis's posts

Barnes: 1.81
McGrath: 1.60
Steyn: 1.56
Hadlee: 1.43
Ambrose: 1.28
Bumrah: 1.27
Marshall: 1.24

obviously, some like Marshall, McWarne and Ambrose to an extent have insane support affecting the numbers

Marshall, McWarne had pretty good batting line ups to boost their numbers too tbf

At the end of the day, no Cricket statistic is going to be perfectly decisive of a debate but it's fun to post them anyway

I feel like Ambrose is a decent shout
