I don't go by popular euphemism and what the cricket critics who have their agendas say. For me Waqar Younis and Malcolm Marshall are better than Wasim Akram. Akram though was more pleasing to the eye and charismatic and definitely a better all round player. Waqar was the most destructive bowler ever. Check his performances in South Africa. Pak scores 220. South Africa is 100 for none and then 200 for 4. Waqar comes back for second spell and finishes off the entire team.
@muaythairaja: fair enough, I respect your right to an opinion, although I doubt many English fans would agree that a bowler like Fred Trueman was either an amateur, or not nearly as good as the modern crop of pace bowlers. Arguably however that is merely an indication that England have not had any decent bowlers since 1964 ...
I agree with most of this video, but one player who is massivly underrated is Saqlain Mushtaq. He had the most variations, and invented the doosra. He changed the face of spin bowling, and for his innovation alone deserves to be in the top 10. I also don't think Donald deserves to be as high as he is.
Interesting choice, although I think the "of all time" description is not quite appropriate on account of the fact that this basically only comprises bowlers of the last forty years. It is difficult to compare these bowlers with, eg, Fred Trueman, Ray Lindwall, SF Barnes, Fazal Mahmood, or Palwankar Baloo, the famous slow left-armer from Poona before India began playing test cricket. I'd also put Marshall higher than Lillee as Marshall did well in tests all round the world, including in Asia
@AlanThomasson Maybe but the last 40 years have seen a huge improvement in skill, fitness and competitiveness due to the influx of big money. Players before that were largely amateurs and not nearly as good as modern players. So essentially an all time list only needs to consider modern players.
in indian cricket we didnt had a great bowlers... actually it depend on the genes... as most of the indian are vegeterians so we dont have that much energy to bowl in that pace... pakistan in 20 times smaller than our country but still produces quality bowlers 3 are ther in the top ten ever. In india only zaheer is the fastest bowler till date and irfan is the bowler who can swing... this shows that pathans and sikhs are more fit and energetic compare to any other sect... its fact...
how come Imran Khan and Malcolm Marshall are both No 8. My friend you got 11 bowlers up there. 10.Shaun Pollock 9. Glen Mcgrath 8 Imran Khan, Malcolm Marshall 7 Curtly Ambrose 6 Allan Donald 5 Muralitharan 4 Waqar 3 Shane Warne 2 Dennise Lillee 1 Wasim Akram
@BeaversBrah! yes joking because Wasim Akram is an Asian then he is Muslim and then he is Pakistani.. enough to make him lesser then McGrath??? wakeup
Come on, if youtube has taught us anything, it is that the current Indian test XI are the best eleven bowlers of all time, and that Tendulkar is the best bowler ever. Indeed anyone disagreeing with that is disrespecting every person on India, and is indeed a racist.
ambrose was the best bowler ive seen he could take wickets on flat tracks like adelaide oval his spell of 7 for 1 in perth against australia was awesome my top 10 ambrose akram lillie warne marshall hadlee mgrath waqar garner kapil dev
@kaker11 Without a doubt? Richard Hadlee has a better average, strike rate, economy rate more 5 fors and 10 fors even though he played less test. Hadlee, Lillie and Marshall are the top 3.
rating mcgrath above waqar nd akram is funny enough...:D
mcgrath truly was an outclass bowler..but he was more known for his leathal nd cruel line length with cutters..akram and waqar were the monsters of swing ....
@u2atherrr Personally I am a Murali and Wasim fan more than McGrath, but thats my personal likeness.. Same probably goes for u when it comes to Wasim... But i rate McGrath as one of the best ever.. McGrath has contributed to wins of his team more than any other bowler has ever done. He was the main reason why Australians were so-dominant once, both home and away. Just look into his record, he has done brilliantly in all conditions.. for you to call him outcast, are you in-sane...?
Akram has given more wins to pak than mcgrath with his outstanding bowling.In Ausies every win there will be equal contribution by Bowlers n Batsmens,where as Pakis depend more on Bowlers nd that too on Wasim.
Wasim is known for movement while mcgrath is known for deadly length.akram even leads mcgrath in terms of records
nd honestly i like mcgrath more especially after an aus/pak series in 2005 when mcgrath almost owned paki batsmens in whole series.
@u2atherrr Oh yea guess i read it wrong..My Apologies!!!... I am sure most of you would agree wid my top 10, maybe our personal preferences might change the order though and also with the remaining 20 odd players I have mentioned... its a shame we dont see any Ambroses, Wasims, Muralis, McGraths etc... Guess only Dale Steyn can have a crack at it from current cop of players..!
@u2atherrr By the way since you mentioned records: here are the numbers in Test cricket; Mcgrath has 563 wickets at Average of 21.64 and Wasim has 414 wickets at 23.62 (McGrath's away average is 20.81 while Wasim's away average is 24.44)... In ODIs Wasim has taken more wickets than McGrath (with 502 against 381), but McGrath has a better average... So when it comes to bowling record, McGrath is slightly ahead of Wasim... Both top bolwers though..!
Yes mcgrath has more wickets in tests coz of more tests played
same goes with oneday.akram taking a 502 nd mcgrath 308
mcgrath has payed with a much better and a worldclass team when compared to wasim.n that does count.mcgrath was more of a test bowler n has helped more in tests.
I rate Akram above mcgrath coz he has not 10,100 times stunned the batsmen n the whole world with such dileviries that truely til date r considered MAGICAL.he knew how to bowl 6 difrnt dileviries in an over
@mcdelive for me Imran Khan, Wasim Akram & Waqar Younis were better bowlers than Michale Holding, Deniss Lillie, Glenn Mcgrath & co (except Malcolm Marshall). because they bowled in flat wickets and still managed to have a better (averagin 22-23) record in test cricket, where as Lillie, Hadlee and co. bowled in so called "uncovered pitches" and still have similar records in test cricket!! do U really belive that Mcgrath would have averaging less than 25 if he'd played in subcontinent?LOL
@mcdelive or me Imran Khan, Wasim Akram & Waqar Younis were better bowlers than Michale Holding, Deniss Lillie, Glenn Mcgrath & co (except Malcolm Marshall). because they bowled in flat wickets and still managed to have a better (averagin 22-23) record in test cricket, where as Lillie, Hadlee and co. bowled in so called "uncovered pitches" and still have similar records in test cricket!! do U really belive that Mcgrath would have averaging less than 25 if he'd played in subcontinent?LOL
Courtney Walsh you forgot that he was the 1st fast bowler to get 500 test wickets??? also Sir Richard Hadlee was not mentioned? he got a statue and was knighted by the Queen!
You can add another spin bowler in Jim Laker who I sure a lot of the young ones do not know he destroyed us Aussies in the Ashes also has the record for best test Innings bowling at 10 for 53 runs (10/53).
Pollock was a great all-rounder. Never a great bowler. Should give credit to Rhodes, Gibbs and all the South African fielders, they made life tough for the batsmen to hit through the gaps. Kapil slogged on dead Indian pitches and was the only soul bowling his heart out during his days. The fielding side wasn't as great as the South Africans. I think unfair to leave him out at the cost of Pollock.....
Prepare two lists. One of the World's Top 10 Fast bowlers and another of World's Top 5 Spin bowlers. Replace Pollock with Kapil paaji and get in names like Fearsome Five of the West Indies. I think you've forgotten Walsh, do consider the names of Javagal Srinath, Aaqib Javed, C McDermott, Shane Bond, D Fleming
The person who did this has NO clue about cricket. Shaun Pollock in the top ten bowlers of all time? Curtley Ambrose out of the top 5? Waqur Younis in top 5. I would not even have Waqur n the top 25! Was Alan Donald a greater fast bowler than Malcolm Marshall? Look at the averages and strike rates bro. And all of you idiots who put up these opinionated polls need to do some research before you do so! Get the facts before posting BS like this!
Murali is a chucker and should have been baned. When you have the rules changed for you to compete, you are cheating! Get him out'a there. Bowl with a straight arm! That's what all youngsters are told, same for him.
Firstly, you should call this video the greatest bowlers of the modern era. Secondly, you forgot Richard Hadlee and Joel Garner. Shaun Pollock? Lol 1 Garner 2 Marshall 3 McGrath 4 Ambrose 5 Donald 6 Hadlee 7 Khan 8 Lillee 9 Murali/Warne (can't decide) 10 Holding Trueman misses out because I don't class him as modern era.
Good try: Here is my list: not in the order of ranking though: 1. Shane Warne 2. Curtly Ambrose 3. Muralidharan 4. Glen Mc grath 5. Malcom Marshal 6. Lille 7. Waqar Younis 8. Richard Hadlee 9. Wasim Akram 10. Imran Khan
Sydney Barnes was playing Cricket not in ther modern Era but I mus say the Englishman was special. Kapil Dev was also an inspiration. Ian Thompson,Lillee,Mc Grath,Warne, Flemiing -Australia, Malcom Marsh ,Ambrose-West indies , Imran Kham- Pakistan One of the Greatest!
Waqar younis was best because he generated and specialized REVERSE as well as LATE swing deliveries which were unplayable deliveries for all best batsman's of that time.
@uploader...you dont know anything about cricket.....you missed out the greatest bowler in the history of the game- SYDNEY BARNES.....if there is a bradman in bowling then it is he....check out and do some research....and the order of the list is so damn bad!
Washin Akrin in the Mid order, Murulithuran Still a thrower in My Books, Shane Warne Ahead of most of them. What about Richard Haddly from NZ. Ian Botham from England- Do some reasech and See the kings of the reverse and outswingers??
Waqar younis was best because he generated and specialized REVERSE as well as LATE swing deliveries which were unplayable deliveries for all best batsman's of that time.
The of Greatest bowlers contest is so high and includes only those bowlers who really contribute something special in the cricket that's why I consider Waqar Younis as best. Richard Hadley just one choice bowler for NZ, Kapil Dev was one choice bowler for India and Shane Warne was just one choice spinner for Australia. These three bowlers fall under the category of great bowlers but not greatest.
@dawkeye1 Times change mate, bowling in tests, one dayers, county and T20 is a lot more challenging than only the occassional test like in the old days.
no walsh ? no saqlain who invented doosra lol .,,. no qadir who invented googlie ..yeah and hedlee too ,, and joel garner was not that quick ,, and even holding was better then garner
I would have had Kapil dev at 10 instead of pollock becoz He toiled hard on dust bowls of india while pollock got most of his wicket in SA in helpful conditions also he had Fannie de vilers and later Ntini to build pressure from the other end while Kapil for most part of his career has Sunil Gaveskar or madan lal or a spinner sharing the new ball.... Also Curtly Ambrose should come in at least top 5 I would certainly have Richard Hadlee at 4 instead of Younis
I think Murali should get no 1, coz nobody will pass 800 test wickets and Odi for another 50 years. and kapil dev should get somewhere. Nearest one is Harbajan only 410, another 400 more to take, Murali has taken 10 wickets, 22 times and 5 wickets 67 times. Can u believe? greatest bowler ever seen.
akram and no 1 :O wtf? vicky(waqar) will come above him in any list. Top 3 Paki Bowlers will always be Imran, Fazal Mahmood and Waqar hence Wasim cant make any top 10
murali and pollock dont deserve any top 10.
what about the great Sir Richard Hadlee?. is the uploader nuts? How can he miss Hadlee. Imran with Hadlee can never come below 4 in any list. What about great Micheal Holding and Fred Trueman?? .
A much savant and better list would be:.. Contd.....
Wasim bhai is always no.1 but Courtney Walsh should have been the second. Surprised not to see Kumble in the list. 1> Wasim Akram Malcom Marshal Dennis Lillee Muthaiaah Murlidharan Courtney Walsh Shane Warne Imran Khan Glenn Mcgrath Anil Kumble Richard Hadlee These are my 10 favorites. + Mike Holding, Garner, Saqlain, Donald, Kapil, Chaminda, Mcdermot........................ Many......
who compiled this? Pakistani? No indian in this list. Indians are best in spin bowling. Not even single person in the list. There are few persons who turned away white ppl are - BS Bedi, Vengatraghavan, E Prasanna, and modern Kumble. Definitely above ppl (excluding kumble) are much better than Warne.
@tamilselvanpr why all this racist mentality? if u make a list of great batsmen,surely there will be few Indians!!!! but the truth is India never had any bowler,who can earn a place in top ten! n yeah,if u make a list of spinners,there will b lot of them,but the top would be ;
What a shocking list. Shaun Pollock....was he your boyfriend. Allan Donald !! no way. Don't get me wrong both great bowlers but amongst the top 10...I don't think so.
I have had the priviledge of fast ballers of 1975 to 2000 .In my book the credit for fast balling go to pair of Jeff Thompson and Dennis Lillee.These to brought to the world of west indies cricket the likes of first Mickel Holding and Andy Roberts, then Malcom Marshall and Joel Garner.West indies dominated the cricket world as undisputed king of cricket in the 80's.
In my book the greatest baller was Malcom Marshall. I met few captains of world cricketing nations in the past .
aww cmon lets not forget Joel Garner possibly the best bowler to this date..In 98 odi matches he took 146 wickets. He is one of only two players with more than 100 ODI wickets to average under 20, while his economy rate of just over 3 runs per over, and average of less than 20 runs per wicket are also the best ever for any bowler who took more than 100 wickets. this guy was a god
@luqman255 ........idiot ....d highest wicket taker in test cricket 4 a long period of time was kapil dev....now dat's lol....and now third highest wkt taker is kumble.....no pakistani no wendies no s.africanshave crossed 600.......taking abut gr8 bowling..only aus,sa,india and now eng have topped icc test team.how ...?we took wc-11 how???ur bowler helped us haaaaan?????/
@peterianstaker1 why u swearing at me? cunt head?lmfao among spinners in test yes.. but how come laker took 19 wickets in a single test? his test avg of 21 is better than the likes of others

Sydney Barnes was playing Cricket not in ther modern Era but I mus say the Englishman was special. Kapil Dev was also an inspiration. Ian Thompson,Lillee,Mc Grath,Warne, Flemiing -Australia, Malcom Marsh ,Ambrose-West indies , Imran Kham- Pakistan One of the Greatest!

Waqar younis was best because he generated and specialized REVERSE as well as LATE swing deliveries which were unplayable deliveries for all best batsman's of that time.

Shane Warne still a cheater of the game, not suites for the gentleman game. Other blokes are fine on the list.

@youbeauty25
The of Greatest bowlers contest is so high and includes only those bowlers who really contribute something special in the cricket that's why I consider Waqar Younis as best. Richard Hadley just one choice bowler for NZ, Kapil Dev was one choice bowler for India and Shane Warne was just one choice spinner for Australia. These three bowlers fall under the category of great bowlers but not greatest.

I would have had Kapil dev at 10 instead of pollock becoz He toiled hard on dust bowls of india while pollock got most of his wicket in SA in helpful conditions also he had Fannie de vilers and later Ntini to build pressure from the other end while Kapil for most part of his career has Sunil Gaveskar or madan lal or a spinner sharing the new ball.... Also Curtly Ambrose should come in at least top 5 I would certainly have Richard Hadlee at 4 instead of Younis

I think Murali should get no 1, coz nobody will pass 800 test wickets and Odi for another 50 years. and kapil dev should get somewhere. Nearest one is Harbajan only 410, another 400 more to take, Murali has taken 10 wickets, 22 times and 5 wickets 67 times. Can u believe? greatest bowler ever seen.

murali and pollock dont deserve any top 10.
what about the great Sir Richard Hadlee?. is the uploader nuts? How can he miss Hadlee. Imran with Hadlee can never come below 4 in any list. What about great Micheal Holding and Fred Trueman?? .

There are few persons who turned away white ppl are - BS Bedi, Vengatraghavan, E Prasanna, and modern Kumble. Definitely above ppl (excluding kumble) are much better than Warne.

I have had the priviledge of fast ballers of 1975 to 2000 .In my book the credit for fast balling go to pair of Jeff Thompson and Dennis Lillee.These to brought to the world of west indies cricket the likes of first Mickel Holding and Andy Roberts, then Malcom Marshall and Joel Garner.West indies dominated the cricket world as undisputed king of cricket in the 80's.
In my book the greatest baller was Malcom Marshall. I met few captains of world cricketing nations in the past .

Fairly handy group, most would say.
Not really an all time list but comparisons are hard enough from 1970 onwards.
Not a single englishman amounst them, however the next best 10 would have at least 3.
