Top five asian bowlers

Thala_0710

International Captain
Imran
Murali
Wasim
Bumrah
Fazal
Fazal is a good shout too, he's actually the third best ever pacer from Pak on discount factor, behind only Asif and Imran. But it's much better at home than away. Don't think I can have him (or to a less degree Asif) over Waqar based on that

I give a bit of an extra credence to guys like Fazal and Headley who put ATG or ATVG performance while being part of minnow units.

Fair point, but Fazal's away record reads:
21 mat 74 wkts @30.47, and 10 of these matches are in India against a poor batting line up vs pace. Can't have him that high imo

Fazal won Pak a match in England (6m, 25@29.8) and one in WI (5m, 20@38). Should count for something imo. His India record in good but not extraordinary in a way that it effects his stats, and India were weak to pacers, Mahmood was very much a medio.

That's good but isn't enough to get you over guys like Waqar, Ashwin etc imo

Murali
Imran
Bumrah

Waqar

Kumble, Asif, Ashwin, Kapil, Shoaib, Bedi and Chandra would be next

mostly messed up by his final two tests, he averaged 20 in his first tour to England and took 4 an innings. His WI tour was weird, uber flat pitches, absurd batting lineup of Weekes, Walcott, Kanhai, Hunte, Worrell (I think) and Sobers, did win a game for them though, was thoroughly taken apart during the Sobers 365.

dsirespectful ass mf, didn't even mention Fazal in 12 names.
Was thinking more of playing on SC turf wickets, excluding mattings. The reason didn't look at Subash Gupte too. too much unknowns.

Basically limited to last 50 -60 years.
