Glenn Mcgrath vs Wasim Akram

malcolm marshall was better than Mcgrath' date=' Akram, Donald combined.[/quote'] Left out Ambrose :nervous: Agreed Marshall was better than Mcgrath. But Richard Hadlee was better than Marshall

Kumble took 24 wickets in 3 test in OZ in 2004. Best performance by any bowler in last 2 decade against OZ in OZ.. And Kumble average is high because he took 200 Wkts more than Akram and bowled on graveyard of Pak in 2006

Yeh I suppose Wasim has never bowled on any graveyards in Pak.

malcolm marshall was better than Mcgrath' date=' Akram, Donald combined.[/quote'] Wrong to say that. All of them were great in their own areas - Akram - Best swing bowler in history McGrath - Can anyone even remotely come close to his accuracy? Donald - When he bowled in his prime, he was virtually 'jet fast'. Having said that, I do agree that Malcolm Marshall comes out on top of those three.

Richard Hadlee was a green track bully :eyedance:

Nope, nowhere close. Marshall was in a league of his own. Hadlee didn't even come close. Hadlee was in the league of guys like Imran, Holding, Roberts, etc.

It's too early. Can be said maybe someday, but definitely not now.

Don't compare a druggie to Mcgrath :haha::hysterical:

Please check the scorecard of that series. Most boring test series ever.

[Lord]

Asif

no way.even Pollock was more accurate than Asif

You really need to behave respectfully. They are our guests, mind you. And if Asif was a druggie, then what exactly is Warne who is regarded among the top 4 cricketers of all time?

Boring has got nothing to do with performance.

[Serani]

Ambrose maybe more accurate than Mcgrath, to be fair though accuracy is overrated, I mean you get literally tons of trundlers in county cricket who are really accurate.

[Serani]

Id say Ambrose was even more destructive than Wasim too, no total was easy to get with Ambrose and Walsh bowling and they would pretty much bowl all day until the job was done.
