England v India - Third Test, 10/07
- Thread starter TheRey
- Start date
Not bad but lillee and Thompson with the likes of Marshall, Mikey, Garner would be added in my list and a few othersYou could, easily. Wouldn’t be the greatest though, cos that’s Jimmy
FWIW
My top however many in order of personal preference:
Jimmy
Walsh
Waqar
Flintoff
Simon Jones
Gough
McGrath
Hoggard
Lee
Ambrose
Harmison
Pollock
Donald
Steyn
Rabada
Just my personal favourite as stated, so don’t come at me.
It’s horrendous
Before my time but absolutely yes fair enough mate.
The over rate is a farce. It’s both sides and fines won’t work. Only way to solve it is force them to play 90. Going off at 6.30 in perfect conditions is ridiculous.

Two sessions of 21 or so overs
England will get docked points but will india ?
I’m sure there was a new law that captains got a warning over slow over rates and a second one, would bring a 1 game ban
It appears that’s been forgotten
Said it earlier , we will walk off at 630 with at least 15 overs shy in perfect playing conditions

I've tidied your list a bit for you.We haven't even talked about the quicks from the 60's and 70's. Loads of all timers from that era too.

We're not all ancient. You'd have to be over the age of 80 to have seen them play.

Tbf he’s only in for 05 Ashes tbh same as Jones and Harmison, but he was underrated. Took loads of wickets, important ones too and was a crucial member of that 4 man attack.Hoggard?

Wasim is a good addition and I considered putting him in but I’m biased against left arm seamers. Dont know why.

Angus Fraser? Ha'way, one of the best ever?
May as well chuck in Andy Caddick and Alan Mullally then.Not saying he’s the best ever , just a player who was steady and consistent, a good honest bowlerAngus Fraser? Ha'way, one of the best ever?

That he was!
For poetry in motion has to be Mikey Holding and Dennis Lillee.
Second slip
Subs Bench
I remember he carried the attack through one West Indies tour , 1998 I think the abandoned test at Sabina Park series. What didn’t help Angus though was he always looked like he was blowing out of his backside half way through his second over

We have no carried the same threat level with the ball. More accurate in this innings

Didn't they call Holding Whispering Death? The batters couldn't hear him pound in.
Both a bit before my time but agreed, from old footage. They had beautiful actions.
Anyone who can have play stopped by ladybirds has never played on a brassic cold day at Dawdon
Agreed. So smooth and elegant and delivering lethal balls
There was an Aussie called iirc Gary Gilmore who tore England apart in a test at lords in the 70s

I always liked Chaminda Vaas. Not an all timer but probably Sri Lanka's best seamer. Malinga doesn't get a look in with me either, not with his slingy action.

Not too bad. I'd swap Hoggard out for Reddy though. And Bumsy gotta be in.You could, easily. Wouldn’t be the greatest though, cos that’s Jimmy
