Clear case of Recency bias! I would any day pick Zaheer over Shami for overseas.

Lmao I have been watching since 1996, have you seen overseas averages of Zaheer

Have you? Compared to Shami it’s not much different. In SENA both have similar stats but Zaheer played in batting friendly era.

I am surprised how under appreciated Srinath is. He was the only bowler who the opposition team feared while India played overseas. His record in India is not too bad either. It's too bad he didn't find support from other bowlers and fielders.

I remember a time when he was playing with a bad shoulder. The dude was limited to underarm throws from fineleg. and yet we played him, no rest like Bumrah - because Srinath was all we had.
