Ian healy for sure.... wow what a wicket keeper... :happy

 

[evertonfan]

Mark down Healy for me too. Again, i'm no expert on the older player (Victor in this case) but I just think Healy's stats speak for themselves.

 

[BigCrickNan]

Trumper... dude he was almost as good as Bradman. His average would be a lot more today he had to play on stupidly bad tracks a lot of the time.

Also how can you compare a keeper from the 1990's to a batsman from 1900?!?!

You could also say the same about Hobbs, Sutcliffe & Hammond but unfornately we can only judge by stats and those 3 names are a fair bit better then what Trumper's is and quite frankly Bradman's record is twice as impressive as all of them.

[langerrox]

haha not a macgilla fan? i love the aggorant man

 

[surendar]

for me, Stuart MacGill becos i feel he has to be given more chances and good bowler too!

I normally keep my opinions out of these battles, but did you two actually look at the stats of Mr. Border? Its not the battle of whom do you like more, its a battle of whom do you think is/was a better cricketer.

 

[langerrox]

of course the stats lean in AB's favour but I do believe that Stuart Macgill is a better cricketer!

i felt, MacGill performed well inspite of being given low chances! So perfrming well whenever there is opportunity given sounds definitely bettr than a regular player in my opinion!

Also other bowler of this kind is MS Kasprowicz of Aus!
he has bowling average of 18 in ODIS and just played 40 matches! So these players perform their level best whenever given opportunities! So that made me to vote for Stuart MacGill than border( though he is dominating player)!
