Current Aus attack easily.
SA late 90s slightly
will decide later
current India, since Waqar had lost his peak by 90s. inside SC you have Ash/Jaddu. Ans outside Bumrah, Siraj and Co
SL early 2000s. Murali, Vaas and co.

Australia current attack without a doubt
SA late 90s barely as Marshall was past his prime
NZ 2010, though when Hadlee had decent support....
Current India, better variety and deadly in all conditions (though still barely)
SL. Never a good idea to play with 4 spinners in SENA.

Aus 2010s
SA late 90s
NZ 80s. 3 good bowlers not enough to take them above Hadlee, who is miles ahead as a bowler and bowled a huge proportion of the overs for his team, raising the overall level of the attack a lot. Chatfield was also decent.
Current India
SL easily

Australia by a long way.

SA.

NZ 2010s. Obviously would be a much bigger gap when Jamieson debuted. Apart from Hadlee none of our other 80s bowlers are in our top dozen bowlers.

Mid 90s or early 90s? Peak Waqar is up with young Warne for the most exciting bowler I've ever seen. Mid 90s - India just. Early 90s - Pakistan by a long way

SL. Vaas is the difference.

Early 90s Pak had peak but mid 90s had Saqlain and Mushtaq Ahmed.

I think people are underrating mid 2000s Eng quartet and overrating the current Aus attack that didn't really excel last year in Eng and Ind.

England's mid 2000s pace "quartet" wasn't really a thing imo.

Assuming we're referring to the 2005 Ashes lineup, didn't it only play together like a handful of times outside of that series? So many other series from the mid 2000s predominantly featured the likes of Saggers, Kirtley, Bicknell, Kabir Ali, Richard Johnson, and of course the absolutely awful Saj Mahmood, amongst others.

In any case, once you remove Flintoff and Jones from it (which is essentially exactly what happened irl) it becomes much less threatening as a unit. No disrespect to Hoggard (some disrespect to Harmison).
