Top 10 ODI fast bowlers of all time

[Nate]

...Wasim is the first name on the list.

 

[MendisNuffSaid]

Mortaza + Streak > Maharoof

I think bandwagoners like you shouldn't be supporting SL tbh. Maharoof has 117 wickets in 80 odd ODIs, he has been a great bowler for us. He is actually in the top 5 SL bowlers for the most number of wickets in ODIs. These days, he is used as a third change seamer but Kula, Vaas and even Thushara have been doing the job.

Akram
Garner
W.Younis
Muralitharan
McGrath

Ambrose
Bracken
Donald
Lee

 

[Nate]

That's 11.

I'm amazed seeing none except Athlai put Hadlee in their list...Hadlee was a damn good ODI bowler, and he is a must in top 10 ODI bowlers...

 

[Beleg]

...Wasim is the first name on the list.

Oops, got confused for a moment after watching the 4th name in pup11's list...

This. Would be pretty much my first pick with a ODI average of 21.6 and economy of 3.3... who in that list of players has better stats? Joel Garner and Shane Bond is about it.

Ian Austin would be stiff to miss out

 

[Nutter]

Geoff Allott for NZ!

 

[GGG]

Geoff Allott for NZ!

And Chris Pringle

 

[PS-devilliers]

Devilliers, etc.

 

[superkingdave]

And Chris Pringle

I'll raise you a Derek(even though he was crap)...always thought when I was a kid that Derek was responsible for those jumpers with the diamond pattern on them. He also had a great warmup routine

 

[Athlai]

People got to take the records of guys from the 70s and 80s with a grain of salt. It is to all intents a different game for bowlers today. Having a 3.** E/R when you played up until 85 doesn't equate to you being a brilliant bowler.

Bracken is a def inclusion given his record: E/R < 4, average of 22, playing in the age of 20/20, boundary ropes, 20 overs of powerplays, and rocket bats. Plus he predominantly bowls when the field is in at the start or at the death. Have him second only to McGrath among Aussie ODI pacemen.
