fineleg Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Which captain had the greatest all time bowling attack? Would you agree it is Clive Lloyd? He had the most fearsome (and really great) bowling attack in Test matches? PS: No AAG jokes in this. They are cra.p attack.

Macj Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 F Worrell - Griffith and Hall and on paper (results) Jardine - Larwood.
punjabi_khota Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Depends on the pitches. The spin quartet of India was a handful too in subcontinent.
fineleg Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 mcgrath + warne dominated for 10+ yr i think batsmen were more nervous facing up to Lloyd's men rather than these two. (and for good reason)
jf1gp_1 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 i think batsmen were more nervous facing up to Lloyd's men rather than these two. (and for good reason) maybe but has any other bowler dominated any team the way warne dominated english
fineleg Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 maybe but has any other bowler dominated any team the way warne dominated english but against India he could not do much. England are poor against spin. But WI dominated so many teams - thats why I rate their overall attack higher.
DomainK Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Gotta be Clive Lloyd's attack. That was brutal and merciless.
Laaloo Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 2 Overs of Akhtar + 88 overs of Danice Warneria , Umer Fool , Sohail Tanvir
jf1gp_1 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 but against India he could not do much. England are poor against spin. But WI dominated so many teams - thats why I rate their overall attack higher. by the time i started following cricket WI domination was almost over, so whtever cricket i have seen aussie attack lead by mcgrath and warne is probabily the best i saw, no 2 would be SA lead by donald they were very good in 90s. i never really saw much of pak but akaram, waqar would have been good,
graphic23 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I'd probably go with the pace quartet. Holding's over to Boycott is named the most hostile of them all [well, apart from the Larwood and Voce to Australians in the '32-33 Ashes]. But Sunny played them really well. Australia's Thompson and Llllee were also ridiculously fast.
