Is it just me or is the standard of bowling in world cricket quite poor at the moment
I mean in terms of all time great bowlers that are playing ATM I can only think of 3
McGrath, Warne and Murali...Apoligies if I have forgoten anyone blatently obvious.
Lots of batsman are averaging over and around 50 these days in test cricket which I don't think can be solely put down to the fact that test cricket is currently in an era where we have a plethera of outstanding batsman.
IMO after McGrath, Warne and Murali there is no one even close.. they are in a complete different league to all the other bowlers in test cricket.
I suppose after the retirement of the likes of Waqar, Wasim, Alan Donald etc there hasn't really been anyone else to come through and step up to that level of greatness.
I think it is sad that there seems to be such a dearth of all time great bowlers running round at the moment and the result is that the majourity of games these days are dominated by bat.. obviously there are other factors such as flat decks but great bowlers get wickets on any type of deck..
Thoughts?
