Wasim Akram vs Curtly Ambrose

Marshall's pretty clearly better than Kapil.

As a bowler? Or are you taking into account batting and fielding as well.

Either

Either

I think from bowling POV there's no debate.

But if you take batting+fielding into account, I'd definitely go with Kapil.

Yeah, I can't roll with that. An all-rounder who want great an anything can't be better than the greatest bowler ever.

People like to add together averages, but his impact can't be the same. But CW really over rates all rounders.

I am flattered but CW is more than just my opinions.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

This is similar to the Hadlee vs Marshall comparison but the better bowler and worse batsman is winning here

Garner 2nd Greatest ODI Bowler after Akram.
Kapil GOAT ODI Allrounder
Kapil > Garner

In tests
Ambrose > Garner

Viv is the Only WI cricketer better than Kapil in ODIs ( Sobers, Viv, Marshall and Lara in tests )
in fact Viv is the only Non subcontinent ODI Cricketer better than Kapil.
Akram > Sachin > Viv > Dhoni > Kapil

You are like chat gpt. You will respond to anything.

I consider Akram the better bowler but leaving that said, it’s wrong to say he’s worth nothing. Having a bowler who can average 20 something batting at 9 and can ocassionally turn a game around is hugely valuable. We seen too many collapse where 170/5 becomes 190 all out
