In terms of pure bowling skill, is Bumrah the greatest you have seen?

“A Bumrah is harder to find than a McGrath”

I’d say both are 1/3234

No a Bumrah is a freak.

McGrath is a classic seamer.

Way more likely we will have another McGrath

Never seen anyone like McGrath.

McGrath being underrated for a goober with longevity like Sachin.....

 

[sayon basak]

Marshall, Hadlee, Wasim, Murali, ??

Wagner.

That's just a glitch in the matrix.

Pollock, Philander, Asif, Stuart Clark.

Even McGraths own teammates would rate Sachin a better cricketer

Pollock, Philander, Asif, Stuart Clark.

McGrath>Pollock>Philander>Asif>Clarke for me, all are in the same tier.

and they would rate Warne as the best of all time, as if that means anything.

That can just be explained away as "Indian dickriding". Good way of explaining almost everything you're gonna come by.

Peer rating does mean something iirc.

something but not everything, same with stats.

 

[Johan]

if a bowler and batsman are of similar quality in primary, always pick the bowler unless you're a dumbarse.

Sure as in they are tending to overrate their own, but even then McGrath won't be ahead of Tendulkar.

they also overhype batsmen imo

Why?

 

[sayon basak]

Why?

Because he doesn't want you to be a dumbarse.

Oh please

 

[Johan]

Why?

there are less ATG bowlers than ATG bats, they are rarer and counteract the superior longevity of bats by superior match impact

All had a similar MO.
