Even if I do not rank them in my Top 10 bowlers, I would use the term “genius” for Akram & Warne

I mean, only one of them was skillful enough to outperform excellent bowlers half their age in their literal 50s.

Before some guys wonder who it is, let me tell who it is - Sydney Barnes & it apparently happened in 1920s

Wow

I am curious to know the results of this poll.

 

[DrWolverine]

Just curious.

Why is Bhuvaneshwar Kumar an option?

For Current era fan's
he is one of the most skilled t20 bowler.

At the age of 16, Len Hutton faced 62-year-old SF Barnes in the nets, and years later he declared that Barnes "was the best bowler I've faced".

Sir Leonard Hutton told me that the best bowler he ever faced was SF Barnes. Barnes was 62, Hutton a boy of 16, but on the Test stage, Hutton said, "the most dangerous bowler was undoubtedly Keith Miller"

The one who came up with these spellings is way more skillful than these mere mortals.

What are Bhuvi and Cummins doing here

Why is Hadlee not an option? Also who is Styne? So many questions

I mean, you'd wish those were the only questionable parts in this poll.

Charles Absolon played cricket till the age of 80, if he counts.

This may repair your heart.

I love hearing Geoffrey talk about Cricket, very passionate.

Overall swing: Marshall, but Bumrah is nearly there.

Reverse: Wasim in terms of what he was capable of, but Imran was more effective at it.

Seam: McGrath, but Asif to me was the best new ball bowler I have seen and generated more movement than McGrath. But not long enough career.
