They all seem pretty even for me, so I want CW to rate them.
(Not counting injuries so include your Steyns, Edwards, Taylors and Bonds)

A fully fit Australia I say.
SA, Pak and England are all pretty close. NZL in the first test at Dunedin was as good as any attack can be especially considering O'Brien brilliant form of late however with him retiring and Bond's injury woes that would peg them back a bit. Indian seamers are underrated in swinging conditions I feel though the full impact of Kumble's retirement is still to be seen.
Roach,Taylor,Edwards sounds tasty too
Without O'Brien I think NZ will fall away from the top tier even with Bond in the attack. West Indies with all their fast men will be one to watch in years to come.
I think its all very interesting atm.
Aamre,Parnell,Morkel,Roach,Ishant,Southee all look good prospect but they are all umproven currently.Next couple of years will be interesting.
Aus and SAF are good. But put them on a turner, and that attack is docile. Pakistan potentially has the best all ound bowling attack. With Aamer, Asif, Gul, Rana, Ajmal, Kaneria and Afridi to pick from. That attack can prosper on any surface. So my vote is on Pakistan.
Supporting players: Dinesh Chandimal, Roshen Silva, Kusal Janith, Nuwan Pradeep, Kasun Rajitha, Lahiru Kumara, Akila Dhananjaya, Dhananjaya de Silva
Oh I did not see there are three votes. I would put SAF and AUS as well. But if everything goes well and bowlers manage to be injury free, SL will be up there soon with Thushara, Malinga, Prasad, Fernando, Kulasekara, Welagedara, Mathews, Herath and Mendis to pick from.
An attack of Johnson, Bollinger, McKay and Hauritz shouldn't be in the top 3 in the world.
Currently I'd say it's the SAffies.
Tough. Not too many attacks I truly rate as top quality at the moment, really. Pakistan don't have a fifth bowler and Aamer hasn't actually done anything yet, while South Africa are having problems finding their second and third seamers. I'm actually really tempted to be controversial and pick England in my three.. I certainly would have done so before Flintoff retired but it does look a little bit thin without him.
In short, I have absolutely no idea as it stands so I'll hold off on my vote.
