[OverratedSanity]

rate them as part time test match bowlers

carl hooper
chris gayle
mark waugh
virender sehwag
nathan astle

Sehwag
Hooper
Gayle
Waugh
Astle

Sehwag had serious ability as an off-spinner.

 

[ankitj]

OK, one from my side. Rate them as all-rounders:

Vinoo Mankad
Trevor Goddard
Tony Greig
Andrew Flintoff
Shakib al Hassan

 

[ImpatientLime]

greig
goddard
shakib
mankad
flintoff

flintoff i find so hard to rate. his ceiling was obviously very high and that period between 2003 and 2006 where he average 40 with the bat and 28 with the ball was great but he was still a massive under achiever who bowled too ****ing short.

Goddard
Greig
Shakib

Mankad

I'm a little conflicted on Greig. Has some great performances but his career was really short.

Would be interesting to see how people rate these ODI batsmen in order:

Roger Twose, Neil Fairbrother, Neil Johnson, Nick Knight and Darren Lehmann

 

[ankitj]

Tough because I haven't paid much attention to any of their careers. But based on impressions:

Neil Fairbrother
Neil Johnson
Nick Night
Darren Lehmann
Roger Towse

 

[Zinzan]

rate them as part time test match bowlers

carl hooper
chris gayle
mark waugh
virender sehwag
nathan astle

Hooper
Astle
Gayle
Waugh
Sehwag

Astle's bowling was underrated. Took Lara's wicket in tests a couple of times IIRC.

[ImpatientLime]

rate these 5 glenn mcgrath support acts

fleming
gillespie
lee
bichel
kasprowicz

 

[vic_orthdox]

Gillespie
Fleming
Kasprowicz
Lee
Bichel

 

[Prince EWS]

Gillespie
Fleming
Kasprowicz
Lee
Bichel

Yeah can't argue with that. I'd have Lee a spot or two higher but for the way the question was phrased; his best period came after McGrath retired.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yeah, that was my tie breaker between Kaspa and Lee - for the majority of time when Australia was at its best, it was with Kaspa in the team ahead of him.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah, that was my tie breaker between Kaspa and Lee - for the majority of time when Australia was at its best, it was with Kaspa in the team ahead of him.

Assuming purely Tests, Kaspa probably was marginally ahead of Binga.

 

[Bahseph]

Battle of the recent Windies all rounders. Bravo , Sammy, Holder , Russel & Pollard.

I'd go Holder, Bravo , Sammy, Russel then Pollard.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Bravo
Holder
Sammy
Russell
Pollard

Difference being that Bravo the only one that I could consider batting in the top six properly for a good Test team.

Bravo

[Daemon]

Bravo
Holder
Sammy
Pollard
Russell

Russell is pants. Very fun when he's slogging with the bat but he's a rubbish bowler. Neither him nor Pollard are taking any Test wickets and I'd back Pollard to bat better than him.
