The Falcon Strike
Hall of Famer
In your opinion.
I do not rate him in best three I seen but his stats look better.
For mine, Lillee, Hadlee, Wasim Akram and Warne clearly better and I'd rather Holding and Imran Khan too.
I rate Ambrose and McGrath on a par as very very good tall bowlers and very accurate with annoying length but I rate all these others bowlers better.
Just on this - we often hear that batting is easier now. Roped fields, better bats in particular, flatter wickets etc etc
If batting is easier and easier, ergo bowling becomes harder and harder.
Someone like McGrath may not have had the obvious weapons as Lillee, Akram, Marshall et al
But bowling is about taking wickets and conceding few runs.
McGrath in a time of easier batting, has a superior record - he is well in the conversation and claiming others as clearly better I believe is wrong.
