International Coach
Jeff Thomson, Ian Botham, Heath Streak, Darren Gough, Jason Gillespie.

Ignore the batting/fielding/captaincy. Rank them purely as bowlers :-O

International Coach
Voted for Thomson. Aggressive and a far more potent wicket taker compared to the others in that list.

Thomson(haven't seen much of him though)
Gillespie
Gough
Streak


But man getting his in balls >>>> All.:ph34r:
 
1) Heath Streak
2) Jeff Thomson
3) Ian Botham
4) Darren Gough
5) Jason Gillespie

If Streak had ever got someone good to support him on the other end,his record would've been much better.And my ranking is based on overall career,not just peaks or something.

I don't know how you could have Gillespie as the worst bowler of the group. He is a better bowler then Gough, Streak and arguably Thomson and had better careers then those three aswell.

It's either Botham or Gillespie for mine. I voted for Gillespie because he is awsome.

IMO,They were bowlers of same class & there was only a little difference among them all.But I rate Streak as better than others so he has to be at the top.It isn't like being at the bottom makes him a poor bowler or something.
