A bowling lineup of part time bowlers.

[karan316]

If you are to select a bowling lineup of 5 bowlers, who are all part timers(but can be effective), whom would you pick?

My bowling lineup would be

Steve Waugh,

Sourav Ganguly,

Ravi Bopara,

Mohammad Hafeez,

Yuvraj Singh.

Try and make a good combination of pace bowlers and spinners.

Clever idea for a thread!

My 5

Bill Edrich Right arm fast
Mudassar Nazar Right arm medium
Asif Iqbal Right arm medium
Denis Compton Left arm wrist spin
Alan Border Orthodox slow left arm

 

[Howe_zat]

Jacques Kallis?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

How can anyone miss out Ponting and his amazing Swinging deliveries.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Watson

Johnson

Siddle

Lyon

Hilfenhaus


That should just about do it.

 

[Shri]

M Waugh
S Waugh
V Sehwag

 

[Neil Pickup]

Watson

Johnson

Siddle

Lyon

Hilfenhaus


That should just about do it.

They're supposed to be effective.

 

[JBMAC]

Ken Mackay

Doug Walters

Frank Worrell

Tom Graveney

Basil D'Olivera

And now most of you are heading for the stats because ther is a few there you have not heard of.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

JBMAC, how was Bradman as a bowler?

 

[Athlai]

JBMAC, how was Bradman as a bowler?

He was no Steve Tikolo.

 

[keeper]

Mohammad Amir
Mohammad Asif
Shane Bond
Steve Harmison
The next Australian spinner

 

[NasserFan207]

Shane Bond

Zaheer Khan

Shoaib Ahktar

Simon Jones

 

[Flametree]

Cronje
Coney
Walters
Mo. Hafeez
Bevan

 

[Noble One]

Greg Blewett
Steve Waugh
Mark Waugh (to bowl seam-up)
Michael Bevan
Simon Katich

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Graham Gooch
Mark Butcher (open with these two for double swing)
Graeme Hick

And when you're really struggling, turn to Ian Salisbury or Derek Pringle.

 

[ankitj]

Michael Clarke should be in it.

 

[karan316]

Can't understand why there aren't many left arm part time medium pacers.

 

[Migara]

Derek Randall of SAF IIRC was a left arm medium pacer.

 

[Howe_zat]

Can't understand why there aren't many left arm part time medium pacers.

Just aren't that many left arm pacers in general, relatively speaking.

Can only think of Brendan Nash in recent years. A quick Cricinfo search also digs up Graham Yallop, Neil Fairbrother, Bill Lawry and Lawrence Rowe.

My 5

Bill Edrich Right arm fast
Mudassar Nazar Right arm medium
Asif Iqbal Right arm medium
Denis Compton Left arm wrist spin
Alan Border Orthodox slow left arm

Mudassar Nazar was a touch more than a part-timer wasn't he? Didn't he open on ocassions?
