Ray Lindwall vs Allan Donald

[Johan]

better Bowler?

I’ve been thinking and I might find it silly to say “not even close” in most ATG comparisons outside Bradman. Though there may be a case such as say McGrath/Anderson that would contradict that line of thinking. Obviously not here though.

there are quite a few matches between ATGs where I'd reckon saying not even close is fine.

Yeah no I think so too kinda. But almost seems like, counter intuitive in my head you know?

Hm, kind of true considering the gap in practicality won't be that big.

For most of these guys, if you are going to put them in a team together, the one we see as clearly and indisputably better will probably be performing better in a match 55% of the time, and the worse one 45%.

I do make an exception for the top tier ARs though, who might be performing better in secondary 80%++ of the time in relation to a specialist. Those comparisons are seldom close for me.

I'd say -it's not even close
Wherever Waqar Younis gets compared with other ATGs .

I'd also say "it's not even close"
when Viv gets conpared to top ten candidates, like Steven Smith

I think Viv is better than Smith, strike rate is also important,
High strike rate means very high impact.

Close can easily mean that it's a discussion in your mind and you struggle to name a winner of the comparison.

Not close simply means that it's an easy decision in your mind and you don't struggle to name a decisive winner.

I think Lindwall is pretty underrated here honestly.
