Watching him bowl now and recalling his great record against Sri Lanka....what stage or ranking would you put him against Gabriel, Cummins and Holder?

Certainly Roach is ahead of him as a strike bowler, but who else?

Did he learn to bowl line and length yet

In his last test he got 6 wickets in 1st inns and 1 wicket in second.

But what happen, why he was never selected after that.

Does any body recall.

How exactly is Roach "better"?

 
natty_forever 2018-02-06 06:56:16 

... his 29.42 Average says so.

Roach had to go become a different type of bowler and is still successful on the international stage. Both are pretty good

That also says you know nothing about bowling...

Stats show Roach and Gabriel definitely are your best bowlers in home conditions.

Cummins is on the up and he must show he is deserving of a place in the WI attack.

Roach, Gabriel, Fidel and Cummins your top four as of now.

 
analyst-kid 2018-02-06 10:52:17 

AGAINST Sri Lanka later, Fidel would rank heavily on my list if WI really want to win a test series.

Ok post how many fifers each has. After all that's how you really know a bowler is dominating.

.... even if is against Zim and Bang that accounted for most of those, Mr. Bowling expert???

 
WICFan 2018-02-06 13:54:54 

The problem with Edwards was he couldn't stay fit unsurprisingly with that action & pace he was bowling at.

ODI'S should have been his specialist format.

 
analyst-kid 2018-02-06 15:47:10 

Roach has 7 5fers Fidel has 12: 2 against India,Bang,Eng and NZ, 1 against Aus Pak,SL and Zim

Read and learn and stop talking skunt!!!

After the greats Fidel is the best quick we had since then. Yuh better believe it!!!

Not taking anything away from Roach, but Fidel is better as a wicket taker. He didn't get to 160 plus test wickets by accident!!!
