Yeah Southee v Hoggard is harder to split but both are definitely better than Lillee.

True

McGrath is most definitely in the GOAT conversation......Lillee wouldn't be in the top 10.

From the mouth of babes...that have no clue ?

Mad Aussie Tragic noises

You said it, not me.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

You are covering 46 years of cricket with Botham, Flintoff and Stokes. Aus have had their share with Greg Matthews (averages over 40 with bat), Shane Watson and Andrew Symonds while Adam Gilchrist could be considered one of the best all-rounders ever. Then there is Green who has the potential to be better then them all ?

Steve Waugh was an allrounder for a while, and Reiffel was a bowling allrounder of sorts.

He also claimed to live in Asia ?

Looks like @Qlder a good addition to the forum, he really knows his ****
TBF though none of the players he mentioned are in the class of Chris Harris.

Holding the phone on this one at least for now.

Setting 50 runs and 5 wickets in a match as the criteria for an all round performance is insanely lopsided anyway. The batting equivalent of that would be a ton and 2 wickets.

Lol gtfo....mate if you are seriously arguing this point then you've definitely tagged yourself in the to be ignored category in cricket discussion.

I'm mean this is just such an insane opinion to hold, I've literally never seen anyone rate Dennis this high. Great bowler and crowd pleaser.....I'd certainly pay to watch him over McGrath. But better?.......not in any way shape or form. Just never ffs.

I don’t agree with it but plenty rank him number 1

Just so sad. McGrath would have been a step up from Max Walker in 75 vs the best Windies line up but to be stike bowler over Lillee N Thommo is just lol

 

[trundler]

Cricinfo picked him as the best pacer in both its top 25 countdown and all time XI. It's a popular boomer opinion but popular nonetheless.

Pretty sure we've only had one person* on CW really argue it since McGrath's retirement.

*number of accounts that person has created is unclear

This post boomer'd so hard it depleted the ozone layer again.

Well despite this ridiculous nonsense im pretty chuffed. 51 years old and it's been a hell of long time since anyone has uttered the phrase "from the mouths of babes" in my direction lol

Australia v West Indies 1975/76 Test cricket series was obviously the peak of human existence.

McGrath doesn't even drink from the hose

It was. Look it up Viv Richards became a thing as did Lillee and Thommo against the best batsmen in the World...

 

[ataraxia]

Yeah Southee v Hoggard is harder to split but both are definitely better than Lillee.

Oh **** off.

Southee is clearly superior to Hoggard.

Harold Larwood became a "thing" against the best batsmen ever.......does that throw him into the GOAT bowler Convo?
