It is crazy to think he is 6-8 which is entry level for the NBA and Wemby is almost another foot taller.
Meh Wembyana has trouble walking into a gentle breeze. Feel like Garner robbed me while I was watching him on TV

Wemby has great skill and athleticism for his size. Garner is amongst the best fast bowlers of all time though. I’d have him top 5.

Garner was great, but he wouldn't be in my top 5. From the bowlers I've seen, my top 5 would be;

Ambrose
Akram
Steyne
Holding
Marshall

No McGrath because I considered only blokes bowling 140kmh+

Great list but I think I have garner ahead of Steyn and holding. All those are worthy as f**k though.
i think Alan Donald is one I feel hard to place. Maybe also Waqar younis.

Yeah I just feel like in all conditions, Steyne and Holding had terrifying pace to compensate, Garner wasn't near as quick (from memory) as those blokes. When the ball is doing nothing in the air or off the deck, outright speed is the difference...

In saying that, being able to launch the ball at delivery stride from what I can only imagine was something like 9 foot in the air gave Garner steepling bounce off a good length delivery, much like Curtly who is top 2 all time so yeah, definitely a case for Joel...

Didn't see the Aussies bowl but his figures seem impressive.

I am going tomorrow so hopefully he get build on it.

it was a typical road prepared for ODI cricket but his movement in the air together with his pace and bounce was extremely impressive

feathers, with all his pace, never troubled the batsmen to any degree

Morris is a Bog average slinger, might offer more on a quicker deck but he didn’t impress me at all. Bartlett’s seam position is the best in the country.

This is the big difference between these two bowlers. Feathers was not at full pace and seemed to just amble in and the efforst comes in the last sride or two and with his slinging actions he just seems to lose the seam, so even if he bowls at say 147, he is not going to bother too many world class batsmen

Bartlett's seem presentation with his high arm, over the top ation is why he does that litle bit in the air and always hits the seam. I'd take that over Feather's pace any day.
