Bro, you and kyear need to get a room.

I tried to make one as a public service, for you guys to "debate" in, but I'd just as soon expect you all to use it for hot, steamy hatesex.

Why have you not allowed the poll results to be seen, showing who voted for which player?

That's where the real fun happens though.

As a sidenote, I always liked Greig’s pronunciation of his name.

I found it funny. He tortured Murali's name so bad.

I was up for the debate he wasn't.

Murali over a career, maybe Ambrose if comparing peaks

Wow

Anyway, probably Ambrose.

Murali went missing in Australia and ATG pacemen are just fundamentally more impactful than ATG spinners due to far greater impact on day 1/2 and more impact against the top order.

I would agree but only for those top pacers who are accomplished across conditions.

Ambrose basically is just Aus and Eng where he proved himself. Murali is successful in Eng, NZ, SA, Pak, WI. At home, Ambrose struggles to take even 4WPM while Murali is arguably the most successful home bowler ever.

There are question marks how Ambrose would do in the SC especially if after 94. We can't apply the same standards for Steyn as we would for Ambrose as assume they can win games everywhere.

I agree though that Muralis lack of success in Aus and problems in India make this closer but on the whole Murali was simply a more effective wicket taking machine across conditions.

Ok

Ok

I think if your criteria is having a consistent bowler who never gets dominated, then Ambrose would be your pick. As far as pure wickettaker across conditions, I would opt for Murali.
