Hammond/Kapil/Proctor vs S Smith/Anderson/Warne

[subshakerz]

Assuming it's a club team aside from these players and you are facing mid to top tier test sides, which trio do you pick?

 

[DrWolverine]

You could have picked a great fast bowler instead of James Anderson.

Jimmy is so good that even his number one hater @Coronis concedes he is an ATG.

Originally I went with Waqar.

 

[Johan]

Jimmy is better than Waqar imo

Jimmy’s overall numbers is so good that even his number one hater @Coronis concedes he is an ATG.

His overall number is not good. When was the last time you rated a 26 averaging Fast bowler as ATG?

 

[Johan]

Replace Proctor with Pollock

 

[Coronis]

Trust me, I’m far from his number one hater here.

700 wickets is the only reason to call him good.
In terms of quality, he is not ATG.
He is the batting equivalent of Chanderpaul.

Never talk again.

Exactly man. Don't get how he reached that conclusion. Chanderpaul averages 51, he's like the bowling equivalent of Trueman.

He's the batting equivalent of Stuart Broad.

I don't rate Chanderpaul that high. Trueman is a fair comparison for me.

 

[Johan]

You're growing obnoxious.

 

[subshakerz]

Anderson isn't ATG any more than Ashwin is

 

[Johan]

Elite ATVG works better for him, same as Boycott, May and Walcott for batsmen.

 

[DrWolverine]

Anderson’s away record is meh
82 Tests.
266 wickets or 3.2 WPM
Strike rate of 64
8 5-Fer or 1 in every 10.2 matches

 

[Johan]

Say it with me kids

Was averaging 25 away from home in the last 14 years of his career.

 

[DrWolverine]

Not even comparable with Boycott’s away record.
52 Tests. 3758 runs @ 47. 8 centuries.
