Ravichandran Ashwin vs Alec Bedser

[Johan]

Longevity is based and peaks are cringe.

why not both?

is my Waqar opinion even controversial? all I said was Walsh was better, I think

Don't you rate Anderson higher as well? Or Bedser?? Where you rate Waqar again, it's been a while

Bedser comment was a joke, I think I have Waqar somewhere in the top 25 pacers

Isn’t Walsh better than Waqar?

 

[Johan]

Isn’t Walsh better than Waqar?

I do think so

 

[capt_Luffy]

Isn’t Walsh better than Waqar?

Imo yes, most would disagree

Waqar’s peak came at the first few years of his career
1990-1994 : 31 Tests. 184 wickets @ 18.5 & 19 5-Fer

Walsh’s peak came at the last 4 years of his career
1998-2001 : 36 Tests. 166 wickets @ 21.5 & 7 5-Fer

Outside of their peaks
Waqar : 54 Tests. 183 wickets @ 28.1 & 3 5-Fer
Walsh : 96 Tests. 353 wickets @ 25.7 & 15 5-Fer

Waqar greater peak. Walsh better career.

I like promoting players from the past that I believe are underrated. Eddie Paynter and Johnny Wardle are just two examples.
