Malcolm Marshall vs Imran Khan

[PlayerComparisons]

Ignore captaincy

 

[trundler]

Don't think I will.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Marshall the better bowler,

IK the better AR.

IK wins

 

[Coronis]

Its clearly Imran. Just because Marshall is selected more often than him in ATG XIs doesn’t make him a better cricketer, its about the value of specialists and the team fit.

 

[Jumno]

Ik the better all rounder and captaincy

Marshall the better bowler however Imran was also atg fast bowler

Hard, however it's Imran

So why did you vote Marshall?

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Tend to have different opinion depending on the day about this comparison,so would rather not bother to vote.

Ignore captaincy

Even still I'm taking Imran as the greatest ever all-rounder. For greatest ever seam bowler, I'm putting McGrath as clear first, and then the pack including Hadlee, Marshall, Ambrose, and Steyn. So there's more competition for me, in that respect, whereas Imran is a bit more clearly the best all-rounder in my mind.

Take that back.

EbaGOAT is the greatest seam bowler ever!

Imran is the greatest test cricketer since Garry Sobers

 

[kyear2]

Didn't expect this to be even this close, and Imran will win in a canter, so basically a pointless poll.

Marshall for me is the greatest fast bowler ever, he was equally dominant in all conditions and against everyone. He had a combination of pace, swing, control, aggression, consistency and dominance not seen before or since. He was the the coup de grâce, the driving force behind one of the two greatest teams ever and the reason we maintained our dominance as long as we did even after the decline of Richards and Greenidge and the departure of Lloyd and Holding. He could think you out, swing you out or bounce you out, he was the complete fast bowler.
He was and is for me primus inter pares and a winner against all but Bradman, and no I don't expect anyone to share that opinion.

 

[Slifer]

Imran. Next.

 

[shortpitched713]

Take that back.

EbaGOAT is the greatest seam bowler ever!

[Fuller Pilch]
