Shane Bond vs Frank Tyson

[Blenkinsop]

Both, at their time, the fastest in world cricket and, at their peak, among the most unplayable bowlers ever. Both had careers cut cruelly short by injury.

Bond: 18 Tests, 87 wickets at 22.09, strike rate 38.70.
Tyson: 17 Tests, 76 wickets at 18.56, strike rate 45.40.

Who would you pick?

 

[Flem274*]

Bond, because he was world class for a decade

 

[mr_mister]

Typhoon for that obscene bowling average

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Normally Bond because he is a Kiwi, but I'd say Tyson because I picked him the latest draft.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Nothing to do with anything much, but one of the worst sights I've seen on cricket field was during a charity match when a totally unfit mid 50's Frank Tyson was being smashed all over the place by an early 40's Ian Redpath.
