The best leg spinner is Shane Warne, without a doubt. Off spinner is Muttiah Muralitharan.
Pace bowlers are probably Glenn McGrath, and maybe Shaun Pollock.

Harmison(Over all Fantastic,Bounce,Length) , Shoaib Akhtar(fearsome,Unpredictable Change of Pace, And just amazing ) , Glenn Mcgrath (two words Line and Length)

hahah it's so funny i remember last time i saw harmison in austrlia he was so bad he bowled 8 wides in a row one time. it's going to be good to see him actually performing now

Slats trust me , Harmison bowled at a speed of 96 MPH against Srilanka and his length was spot on and his landing was absolutely remarkable . I admire gillespie too but gillespie has problems now .During ICC bravo impressed me along with Rana Naveed Ul Hassan . But Harmison along with Shoaib Akhtar are the men of the tournament for me ...

I would not say length was one of Harmison's strengths - he often bowls short.
its called exploiting height and pace...he does it brilliantly at the moment
 

FRAZ

International Captain
^ yup right . He has become my favourite bowler and I wanna see a battle between Inzi and Harmison + shoaib vs flintoff

In Tests he very often tries to pin people on the back foot then get them with the fuller delivery, he does tend to over-pitch the fuller one tho and it becomes full enough to play even on the back foot, he's not very consistent with his yorker either tho when he gets it right it's often curtains for the batsman.

That must weigh heavily on Damien Martyn's shoulders - getting out to such a duffer three times.

That was in a meaningless 12-a-side game.
Far more significant was the 3 games in the 2nd half of the VB Series, where he got hammered for about 7-an-over and bowled about 15 wides.
And he doesn't spear anywhere near as many balls down leg now as he used to, no.

I don't think he bowled wide deliberately due to the status of the match, but yes he has improved considerably.
