3. Wasim Akram- King of Swing
4. Rubel Hossain- His over vs england

Rubel Hossain - His over vs....

That can mean so many things. The best to the worst.

I will pick the same.

Marshall's run-up is crazy, like our very own Athar Ali Khan. Imran had similar angled/diagonal run-up as well. You don't see these type anymore. As a batsman, it's really hard to concentrate as you have to look at mid-off/extra-cover when you take your stance.

I protest. Starc can only be counted as 1. Not 3. The rules were set at the beginning. Otherwise I would have had Wesley for #1, #2, #3, ...#10.

Racist as in you didn't include any bangladeshi's

[Yankees]

1. Steven Smith
2. David Warner
3. Cameron Bancroft

because why would only batsmen plan to ball tamper? Ergo these guys must be the best fast bowlers I have ever seen.

Or at least, they know better about reverse swing.

[DinRaat.]

No Stuart Binny. His achievements were marvelous.

I love Aussies man, especially after meeting the most prettiest girl on Sydney harbour when I was 19 or smth. She gave me a free ice cream & more...

Did she take you around the harbor.

[Gowza]

Allan donald is extremely underrated, averaged in the low 22s, strike rate of 47 and had respectable averages in every country he played (worst is Pakistan averaging 32.28, then Australia 28.44 the rest all under 25).

[Gowza]

I hope rabada's injury doesn't hurt his career, hopefully they don't change his action which they often do with is sort of injury.

She was selling ice creams

We chatted for sometime while my parents were watching me from some distance. Some other story...

[One World]

Ambrose, McDermot, Anderson

[Antora]

1. Dale Steyn
2. Wasim Akram
3. Glenn McGrath

[Nocturnal]

In my cricket time:

1. Wasim Akram
2. Curtly Ambrose
3. Glenn McGrath

[Tigers_eye]

So basically it is between Wasim and Marshal.

[Rifat]

In recent memory, What Trent boult and Tim Southee did to England in 2015 world cup was the best I have ever seen.

Agree with this.

[Roey Haque]

Too many factors at play. Some of them not even dependent on the bowler himself.

I think these three pacers will bail you out with a spell if your life depended on it.

McGrath
Garner
Marshall

[Night_wolf]

khaled mahmud shujon aka gotidanob

Forhad Reza aka pant veja

abul hasan aka the allrounder

[R0ssei]

So far (exactly my pick):

1) Glenn McGrath (7 votes)
2) Malcom Marshall (6 votes)
3) Wasim Akram (5 votes)

4) Michael Holding (3 votes)
5) Joel Garner, Curtly Ambrose, Dale Steyn (2 votes)

Few more got only 1 vote.

[Shehwar]

From among the ones I’ve been lucky enough to see at their peak:

1. Wasim Akram ( the guy was a magician )

2. Waqar Younis ( the most devastating fast bowler in my eyes for running through a batting order )

3. Glen McGrath ( will bowl the perfect lengths day in and day out and will get you those wickets every match )

Make a point system. #3 gets 3 points. #2 gets 2. #1 gets 3. Boom.

#1 gets 3 while #2 & #3 gets 2 and 3 respectively?
