But in reply to the rankings its interesting that you haven't posted the odi rankings <_< .I wonder why that is <_< .Anyway i think Bretts been out of it recently anyway.He needs a good firering up.

I just dont know where his form is at the moment.

Shoab is 21 :.But then brett is 29th in tests. .

I dont think shoab will stay there for long.I think Brett will fight back next summer in aus.

 

[Nirav85]

everybody agrees lee is the better bowler in odis but not by a great deal but in tests....that is a joke of question to compare lee with akthar in tests.....well atleast lee got a double ton :

Shoaibs avaerage in 2003 was 12.83 :mellow:

 

[sachin]

he'll be carted all over the park untill mcgrath comes back,they get frustrated with mcgrath so they have a go at brett and stuff it up.

 

[squiz]

no1 can complain that McGrath is the best Fast Bowler in the world :

 

[playjls]

Hes too boring.

B) calm down eveyone

brett lee is better then shoiab ,both in test and the odi

shoiab is no doubt faster the lee , but he has to improve his line and length

shoiab recently bowled very well against nzland , but u should also see that

pitches in nz r meant for fast bowlers ,where last year india and nz both were scoring only 100 runs .

where as lee is concerned ,he got a good bashing from the indians ,but u also have to see that the indians have the best batting line up in the world

there can only be one solution for this argument.


and that is the next series where india plays pakistan ,

that will be a perfect time for shoiab to prove himself to the world

and let me also say this ,looking at the six which sachin hit shoiab in the world cup ,i think it will be a very tuff job,good luck shoiab ,till then lee rules

i cant wait to see india play pakistan

and all pakistanis should welcome india with a good heart
cuz india has agreed to play in places like karachi where other cricketing nations refused ,just to promote cricket.

Do you actually watch the test matches or do you just make them up in your head?
Having watched the whole AUS-IND series and NZ-PAK, there isn't even a contest between Shoaib and Lee.
And you're wrong about the "bowler friendly" pitches in NZ this season, they are much better to bat on than last year against India when we had a very wet summer. That is why in the first test against Pakistan(without Akhtar) NZ scored 556.
Of course since we're obviously discussing matches played in your imagination so perhaps that isn't the case.
The only thing Lee is better at than Akhtar is he is slightly less injury prone.
But I'd take Shoaib over Lee any day.

B) i cant wait to see sachin thrashing akhtar all over pakistan. : : : : : :

 

[playjls]

Its hard to compare bowlers results as they were both on very different tracks and against different teams (With india being much better than pak andNZ).

You can only really compare thier stats from wc20003.Cos it was all on the same kinda tracks and they would have all played the same teams.im gonna go onto my site and try to find their stats.

 

[ricky123]

B) :bow: :bow: god forbid if laxman ,dravid ,or shewag ,are in form ,then it will be the biggest nightmare for akhtar.

god help akhtar give him the courage to face the indians :devilish:
