Pretty much this.Steyn I'd say. Both better as test bowlers though.
Let's say it would hover around 5I wonder what Garner's economy rate would be in today's game. He was almost impossible to thrash because of the variable bounce but bigger bats mean edges and mistimed shots going for boundaries.
Starc is 4.9. I'd imagine Garner would be closer to 4 than 5.Let's say it would hover around 5
Gavaskar almost sameIt's pretty weird that the bloke considered the best test bowler ever doesn't even qualify as an ATG in ODIs
Marshall's Econ is considerably better, but he bowled during a time when scores were 50 to 70 less. Taking that into account, I would say Steyn is slightly ahead.Who is the better ODI bowler?

Apart from being far from the best Test batsman you mean?Gavaskar almost same
Agreed, I think Steyn in ODIs is overrated, though he was excellent in the 2011 WC and brilliant in that format in 2013. Apart from that, he's been sporadic and I'd take Morkel over him.For all Steyn's undisputed quality, he could go a bit wrong in ODIs from time to time. Take the 2015 WC semi final for example, a lot is made of selecting an undercooked Philander over the fit and firing Kyle Abbott, but Steyn having a real off day was probably a greater contributing factor to their loss. Personally if anything I would rate Morne Morkel equal or almost slightly ahead as a 50 over bowler
