Walsh vs Anderson - who was the better test bowler?

[_00_deathscar]

Walsh for me, still. Whether it's peak (definitely) or career (slightly), he was still better.

I'll wait until Jasprit Bumrah Anderson has retired before deciding. @SillyCowCorner1

Potential for a great meme

I'll pick Jimmy here since he was left out of the Oval.

Walsh > Anderson > Roberts

All in the same tier

I understate Walsh more than most and I also have him over Anderson, so fairly definitive

I thought it would be close, but Walsh seemed more threatening in his peak.

Close? Walsh passes all your tests no? Outstanding in Asia, impactful series, including one vs atg Australia. His overall record is great not atg but given that he started off doing 'donkey' work for the WI, Walsh ended up getting better and better.

Walsh would have broken Murali's record if he had the opportunities Anderson had.

We've had this exact comparison periodically ever since Jimmy hit 500 wickets. There have been times when it's been 60/40 in favour of Walsh but he always comes ahead.
