Which bowling attack do you think is the best?

[DrWolverine]

Better quartert just for fun

P. S : I would have missed some other combination so please stick to these six combos for now

 

[kyear2]

Think Marshall, Garner, Holding & Walsh is very likely the greatest attack ever.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Marshall + Garner + Holding + Walsh looks the best on paper

 

[morgieb]

Walsh was better than Roberts, but he did take a while to peak. Think that the 80’s version of Roberts than the 80’s version of Walsh. Close though.

 

[morgieb]

Had Bishop stayed fit though the answer would’ve been Marshall/Ambrose/Walsh/Bishop though.

Definitely

 

[Johan]

The ones with Garner, for his batting.
