Kapil very slightly ahead as a cricketer thanks to his batting. Bedser ofc the better bowler.

let me add a stat, when not bowling to a lineup with Donald Bradman, Bedser has

41 matches, 202 wickets @ 21.34, 56.57 strike rate, 2.7 wickets an inning and 15 fifers and 5 tenfers in 75 innings

**** the Bradman

Barnes would've ran havoc, His far, far inferiors in Fazal and Bedser did extremely well.
