lol. sure. you old codgers carry on about how back in your day the women were prettier, the men were stronger and life was better

Well, I saw Thomson. I saw Shoaib. Only one of them could bowl, and from 1974-6 in particular he was a shedload faster than the fastest tripe Shoaib Akhtar ever tossed.

The rest of your straw man argument does not stack up. Women are just as attractive as they ever were, men are no different, and life goes on.

faster? maybe, maybe not. shedloads? almost impossible. fact? nope

out of all the bowlers who's speeds have been measured to some accuracy shoaib is the fastest. as for the rest you could say any of them were faster, but it will always just remain an opinion

what is really laughable is discounting today's bowlers purely based on your bias

Still Thommo, for mine.

He's only technically a "bowler ....today".

1. Steyn, 2. Johnson, 3 .....?

Starc might be up there now ... going on his Gilly efforts.

Moeen Ali, Hashim Amla, Mohammad Irfan, Shoaib Malik.

All fast
