A great bowler or a great batsman?

[Pak_Fan_4_Eva]

Batsmen make a game whereas bowlers change it. :winky:

[Lord]

a great bowler anyday.in a great spell by a great bowler to great batsmen,the batsmen needs luck along with ability to survive

[maniac]

For tests-Bowler For ODI's-Batsman For T20's-Bowler

[vandokkum]

A great bowler, no doubt. Allan Donald was the main reason South Africa was such a strong team in the 90's. A 100 does very little towards winning a match, but if a bowler can take 5 for 50 in 20 overs then you will most likely win the match.

Bowler.

Cricket is a team Game U need Both good batsman and bowlers .

Ask ur self whom would u love to have given choice fab four or west indies famous quartet.

[Ultimate_Game]

Discussed plenty of times already... great bowler trumps a great batsman every time.

with one condition take those famous quartet with mediocre batsmen

India has always been a competitive ODI team for a reason and struggled in the other 2 formats for a reason... In T20 you need good bowlers...just imagine 4 overs of pressure by a great bowler who can go all out in a 20 over format no matter how many runs to defend or what the conditions are. In tests obviously no matter how many runs you pile up,youi have to take 20 wickets But obviously the equation changes in ODI..50 overs is a decent enough time to negate 1 bowler and plan the innings to win the game from any position,so I would go with a great batsman in ODI

You would still have won more matches than if you picked great batsmen with mediocre bowlers.

How ?

[Clarke]

How about 'matchwinners' ? I'm told they're supposed to win you matches. For instance Inzamam is inherently a matchwinner, which means his team doesn't need quality bowlers to win matches since he goes the extra yard. WTF am I typing, its hard to be logical & P*** at the same time.

[SLICKR392]

wheres WK?

I wasn't really building a line up there.

[Vilander]

Test - bowler, batmans worth is low odi - Batsman, batsman's worth is right at the normal curves top in this format t20 - either, bowler probably just edges batsman out.

[Laaloo]

Simple !! a great bowler ' date=' pakistan has produced greater bowlers than India , hence their win loss ratio is greater than India against most teams in all forms of the game .bowlers win you matches . its well known, especially test matches . .[/quote'] I agree 101%
