Ranking the Bowlers

[silentstriker]

Exactly. I voted for him here as well, but in retrospect it's very hard to choose from McGrath, Hadlee and Ambrose. All three have phenomenal records. Then you still have the likes of Warne and old-timers like Barnes in the picture.

I hate you. I hate anyone who doesn't rank McGrath. I hate you.


OK, my PMS is over, but still...it bugs me a little bit when people don't rank him as high just because he doesn't bowl fast like the others, thats all . Being a metronome is not ***y, but it works.

I rate McGrath and I hate you too.

Are you complaining that people underrate McGrath due to his lack of pace or contending that McGrath has absolutely no competition for the #3 spot?
If it's the former, I can tell you that most knowledgable fans rate McGrath quite highly regardless of his pace. Stop whining.
If it's the latter, that is straight up ridiculous. Ambrose and Hadlee were both arguably as successful as McGrath. They did it everywhere and against everyone as well.
IMO, McGrath only just beats out the other two because he continued to excel in batsman-friendly conditions - it's by no means a "no contest" sort of thing.

Yes, I am complaining that people underrate him because of his lack of pace and I'm saying that though he might have competition at the #1 spot, I don't think he has all that much competition at #3.

Ambrose

 

[adharcric]

McGrath 9, Warne 5, Ambrose 4 as of now ... 12 hours to go

 

[PhoenixFire]

Wilfred Rhodes > Any other bowler in history.

But I'll go with Warne because no one else seems to rate Rhodes.

 

[silentstriker]

Are you serious? Courtney Walsh would have hit him for sixes on a seaming pitch in Perth.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Yes, I'm being serious, and I hope you weren't.

 

[adharcric]

McGrath tops his teammate. SS, may the celebrations begin?
