I don't buy this logic. It's tantamount to saying that being more accurate is not a good quality. I wouldn't buy too much into the difference in strike rates either, cricket isn't played the same way now.Walsh has the better average, yeah. But that's basically by virtue of having a lower economy rate - which you can attribute to him being more of a back of a length bounce bowler for most of his career. Anderson has the slightly better strike rate (bowled fuller), played longer, more wickets. Walsh definitely more consistent across most of his career, although he buttoned off to become very military medium at the back-end whereas Anderson is more of a threat. I'd say neither deserves to be higher in the ATG category. Different bowlers.
Miller averaged 15.7 against the very weak Australian batting in the 78/79 series when WSC was on.Never heard of this chap Geoff Miller who's apparently the most successful off-spinner over there in living memory
He didn't open the bowling in any of his tests.He was often asked to open the bowling.
