Best Deliveries
I think we have had a similar thread before but I thought it would be interesting to have this conversation again.
So name the bowlers who were the best at a particular delivery. Outswinger - Anderson/Steyn Inswinger - Waqar Toe Crusher - Waqar/Akhtar/Malinga Bouncer - Big Bird Cutter - McGrath/Asif Doosra - Saqlain Leg Break - Warne

Good conversation topic. I'd change a few though....
Outswinger - Alderman, Lillee, Holding, Imran Inswinger - Waqar, Marshall, Wasim Toe Crusher/yorker - Waqar, Garner, Thomson Bouncer - Wasim, Roberts, McGrath Cutter - McGrath, Hadlee Doosra - Leg Break (and most variations of) - Warne (for control and accuracy) |

Personal preference then I guess. Warne wasn't the biggest turner of his leg spinner by any stretch of the imagination.

Chris Cairns had the best slower bouncer. The Malinga toe crusher is amazing, comes from a trajectory that just knocks people off their feet constantly.

I would include
1) Wasim's ability to curve the ball(in the air) into the batsman and after pitching(or in the air) take the ball away..Dravid and Croft can vouch for it..What a thing of beauty.. 2) Qadir's googly was a beauty as well..anything Qadir was beautiful to watch 3) Cutter or Legcutter -- Dennis Lillee.. 4) Outswinger -- Kapil Dev 5) Slower ball -- Steve Waugh 6) Bouncer -- Larwood 7) flipper -- Warne until his finger/shoulder operation 8) off spinner - Murali..man can turn a ball on glass |
