I am yet to see bond in action, but IMO Lee is far far better than both Akhtar and Ntini, he has a lovely action and swings the ball at pace, Ntini is a very good bowler who is basically a bundle of energy and can be as quick as Gillespie. Akhtar's FAST inswinging yorker is probably the most lethal delivery in ODI at the moment....of coourse when e gets it right.

Lee has an attractive action no doubt, but its his spraying the ball a bit thats let him down. Akhtar had the same problem when he first came in. At their pace although margin of error is more than any, it still matters a lot. I think Akhtar has a slight edge over Lee now.

Yeah, Akhtar has an edge right now.

At this point they could be ranked:

Akhtar
Lee
Bond
Ntini

Try not to be too shocked but it was Steve Waugh. ANd no, I'm not kidding.

You heard it here first. :D
Could we unsettle Australia before the World Cup by plastering this all over the place?

Isn't a delivery when it's legal?
There was a problem with Akhtar's fast bouncer; never with his yorker (which was what Powell mentioned).

BTW, even that fast bouncer seemed to be a problem only from certain angles- that could well be more about optical illusion than illegal action. But that's a debate for another day.
