lees and gillespies are good, they would screw you yup soo much cause you are expecting a heaps quick ball and then you get something completeley different

Fernando and Watson boh have very good slower balls

Brett Lee's slower ball is way too slow. It would be a surprise but once it came out of the hand you would have ages to react. I haven't seen any batsmen too bamboozled...

You sure you mean Dilhara and not Charitha "Buddika" Fernando - he's the one who struck with the slower one last summer against England.

Nope I wrote Dilhara and I mean Dilhara. He got Vaughan and Hussain out with it and troubled quite a few batsmen in the Natwest Series. That's why I picked him.

Yes he bowls a good one but bowling it with a scrambeld seam is a bad thing as thats what most slower balls use.

I thought Charitha got Vaughan and Hussain with it in the First Test...

Maybe but Dilhara does have a fine slower delivery. Nowhere near Walsh quality though!:D but then so few are...

i mean chris cairns doesnt bowl seam up half the time so the seam doesnt give away his slower ball
