Waqar the better bowler. Lot closer as a cricketer and Ashwin is perhaps slightly ahead.

Agree that Waqar is the better bowler. Cricketer? It's closer, would still take Waqar.

Was opponent strength taken into account?
And do think that maintaining such numbers for only 4 years is easier.
DrWolverine
International Vice-Captain
I don’t think so. Not sure.
Yes.
Consistency over decade(s) > Peak for a few years
At least in my opinion.

Conveniently weighted towards SR so that Waqar comes out on top.

Waqar had a Great peak no doubt, but even in his peak he played some really mid teams very often.

Imran Khan had a clearly better prime imo, even in this 27 match stress he slaps Waqar.

Waqar's peak isn't Top 5 imo.

No order:
Imran, Bumrah, Murali, Marshall, Steyn, Hadlee, Warne, Barnes, Ambrose, O'Reilly.

Top 10? Nah sir.
sayon basak
Cricketer Of The Year
First of all, no.
Second of all, even if it were that way, still wouldn't be top ten.

Bedser would be pretty close to Top 10. His those two Ashes were bonkers.
