Didn't make much sense

A poll is not needed.

I'd say Bond. When both were in their prime though, they were equally lethal and both very fast. Over their career, it's Bond by a country mile. But that is because he played during his peak. Over their peak form periods, it's pretty neck and neck IMO.

It's definitely Brett Lee IMO. Not to mention Lee has more committment to the game rather than being someone who doesn't like the gym.

Exactly the point I'm trying to make.

My vote for Brett Lee. Because of his performance in tests .Bond didn't play so many tests

It's a stupid comparison considering Bond hasn't played international cricket for over a year.

Having said that, there's no way Bond would be bowling as badly as Lee has been over the last year or so.
