[DrWolverine]

Test bowler

Glad for Imran that it's not as overall cricketers, because you'd have to go with Garner for his batting.

 

[Johan]

This is gonna be fun

 

[Thala_0710]

Imran with a definitive edge here

 

[shortpitched713]

They are exactly as good as one another.

Hmm, difficult. One of them had the greatest fast bowling peak of all time (8 years). The other has a big dick. I really don't know.

Lol there's a fairly reasonable consensus around where Imran is ranked it seems

Take it back,, I'm going Garner very slightly. He didn't get to use a new ball much in his career.

he did use it in the last phase of his career, for a long amount of time.

He played 26 tests as the newball bowler, got 127 wickets @ 20.22, 46 strike rate, 5 fifers in 49 innings and averaged 2.6 wickets an inning.

Holding had the opportunity to play lead guitar where Garner, while great in his own right, never was the alpha of the attack.

I rate Donald ahead, Holding them Garner.
