No Hadlee has batting so it's more interesting.

But I went with McWarne due to Warnes captaincy.

Picking Warne/McGrath.

I literally have a hair’s breadth Murali over Warne. I have a bit more than a hair’s breadth McGrath over Hadlee. Plus you know, I’m always slightly inclined towards a duo that actually played together.

What about Hadlees batting?

Eh.. based on the lead in discussion (my comparison there was only in reference to bowling) I was presuming it was only bowling.

I wouldn't consider him an elite slip fielder. Very good, yes. But all of these players were good fielders.

I rate Warne a hair above Murali, but McGrath clearly above Hadlee.

The fact that playing together they're easily one of the great phenomenons of the game, just adds to it.

Not close to elite. At best above average to good.

He looked worse given the others who were around him.

Hadlee better as a fielder.

Hadlee better as a fielder.

McGrath takes him out.

Valid point.

But Hayden also showed that he was much better, the year Warne was suspended.
