Wait, do you seriously think Courtney Walsh and Md Asif were better bowlers than Dennis Lillee? Holy **** this is a genuinely terrible take.

Walsh is definitely the most borderline name there, I agree. But his body of work was fantastic and he was incredible in the subcontinent. I stand by it. And I didn't say he was better than Lillee. Just his equal.

Asif was fantastic. I only meant to say he might have ended up as good had he had a full career (didn't word that well in the first post).

tbf he didn't say they were better. Just in the same league.

Poor dear Lily's record in Asia and Windies is not an extrapolation. It's a fact.

ok, miss

I think it’s a bit tough to count the WI record against him given he was bowling with stress fractures there,

Seriously starting to doubt this now. Come out with it, it was a broken fingernail wasn’t it?

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Oh my. Watch this solipsist flex.

Doubt you know what that means. Good to see, though, a crippling lack of self-examination can't hold you back.

Lillee played one Test in the West Indies and then spent nearly two months with his entire upper torso in a plaster cast. Of course it’s entirely subjective whether such an injury affected his bowling......

Bowling is done by hand not torso duh

None ?? of ?? them ?? is ?? a ?? Wasteman!


Take this argument to the ATG discussion thread ?

 

[h_hurricane]

Or maybe playing in Asia wasn't as important, especially in the 70s, as people here make it out to be now.

One could create a new category for the matches Lillee missed or was injured in Asia/WI named as lol (Lillee On Leave)

Sharma is better bowler than Lillie end of discussion

You'd expect him to be given Lillee hasn't played a test in 38 years.

Rohit's not done much bowling lately either tbf.

 

[Daemon]

Would back Lillee to do better now than Karn did in his only test

The man is going to be a famous youtuber within a few months, what do Australian cricket fans think about his outstanding channel.

 

[Burgey]

With a name like that, it sounds like he should have a column with the NY Times or something.

He's Polish?
