      Disagree about Ponting's commentary. Too much ego in his commentary for starters. He commentates like he's still captain. Warney was the best commentator. No ego in his commentary. He was pro Oz all the way but he gave kudos to the opposition all the time. His technical knowledge was fantastic. Would often predict wickets before they happened and his stories were second to none when the cricket was going nowhere. Great on and off the pitch! RIP Warney.

      @@arnab6154 Lee was a good ODI bowler, but he wasn't anywhere near the standard of McGrath, Warne and Gillespie at Test level. He was pretty much a two-length shock bowler with a mix of bouncers and yorkers and always bowled the odd bad ball to let the pressure off. If batsmen could see off his initial pace, he wasn't really that threatening.

      I think West Indies were better. They didn't lose a test series for 15 years.
      The only 2 test series they lost in 19 years, 1 test match by 1 wicket v New Zealand. The New Zealand umpiring was poor and Viv didn't play this series. They lost 1 test match v India, in 1978. Kallicharran, Sylvester Clarke and, Marshall's first test series, played this series. The other West Indian regular players were playing Packer cricket.
      Marshall, Holding, Roberts, Garner, Croft, Ambrose, Walsh, Bishop, Patterson, Daniel, Clarke for West Indies. There are others like Tony Gray, Ezra Moseley.
      McGrath, Lee, Gillespie, Fleming, Kasprowicz, and Reiffel for Australia.
      Greenidge, Fredericks, Haynes, Viv, Rowe, Lloyd, Richardson, and Kallicharran in batting.
      Hayden, Langer, Ponting, Steve Waugh, Mark Waugh, Martyn, and Michael Clarke for Australia.
      The batting is similar.
      Dujon was a better wicketkeeper than Gilchrist. Gilchrist was a better wicketkeeper batsman.
      Warne is one of the best legspinners of all-time.
      West Indies have the best fast bowling of all-time. 6:36

  • @unicminds2537
    @unicminds2537 2 місяці тому

    Glenn McGrath along with Wasim Akram were the two greatest fast bowlers I've watched in the last 25 years. There are others like Walsh, Ambrose, Donald, Pollock, Anderson, Akhtar, Steyn, Broad, Zaheer Khan, Cummins, Morkel, Rabada, Bumrah, and many. But, McGrath had exceptional control and Akram had exceptional skill with the ball. The most passionate I watched were Donald, Akhtar, and Steyn. The most calm and effective were Pollock, Morkel, and Anderson. The most skillful with the ball were Akram, Zaheer, and Anderson.
    In all honesty, I really think that Australia 2003 team is the greatest team in test cricket in the last 25 years. Additionally, I also think with T20 coming up, test batsmenship has actually taken a nose dive. There are no Dravids, Silvas, Pontings, and Mahelas anymore. The quality of test cricket has reduced. One thing that McGrath didn't face much which the modern bowlers faced is that the batsmen were not very aggressive in their shots but they were aggressive in their mindset. 280 on a day was a very good score. Nowadays, teams are scoring over 350 consistently in a day and even 400 if the tail goes aggressive. I prefer the old times, but such is life - everything needs to change.
    The other good thing back in the old times was - Sri Lanka was a really good team, Zimbabwe was a decent team, and WI was a good team. Nowadays, it is just England, India, and Australia to be honest again. Quality has reduced, number of good teams has reduced.
    The other problem now is: India doesn't play Pakistan, Australia, WI, and England don't play Afghanistan, and that's half the teams that play test cricket. I think ICC should come together and solve these issues to make test cricket exciting.

      Damn straight. His numbers against the greats and best bastman of opponents team is stunning. Plus in ODI 3 world cups win and each 18 plus wickets and all time odi World Cup record. most probably the greatest match winning bowler.

    Rare to see modern day bowlers with such a low bowling average. McGrath averaging 21 and being as effective in India, England etc as he was back home here in Australia. Champion bowler.
