Best bowler to average over 30 ?

[TheJediBrah]

Shakib could be in the 1st list

Not that good a bowler

 

[reyrey]

Hmmm.... I would go:
Nathan Lyon
Erapalli Prasanna
Abdul Qadir
Ted McDonald
Alf Valentine
Stuart MacGill
Harbhajan Singh
Keshav Maharaj
Vinoo Mankad
Sarfaraz Nawaz

I think if you reduce it 29; many more great bowlers will qualify; I would go:
Anil Kumble
Lance Gibbs
Kapil Dev
B S Chandrashekhar
Chamunda Vaas
Subhash Gupte
Saqlain Mushtaq
Tim Southee
Garth McKenzie
Graeme Swann

Only Lyon will make into this list.

MacGill averaged 29

MacGill averaged 29

Oh sucks. Thanks. Then the 10th bowler would be Ewen Chatfield.

 

[subshakerz]

Abdul Qadir.

 

[Starfighter]

Abdul Qadir.

No

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

I'd take Brett Lee ..

You could teach him a better strategy in Tests but you can't teach express pace

 

[subshakerz]

No

Then Lyon

 

[reyrey]

Best bowler with the worst average (37.62) award goes to Craig White. An great bowler in tough conditions, but not backed up by the numbers.

If you go by the opinions of writers from the 70s, Sobers would be up there.

 

[mr_mister]

Surely Freddie.

 

[Owzat]

may as well start a best batsman to average mid 20s

find these kind of topics a little "loaded" ie someone has an idea who they want to big up so set parameters so their 'shout' has a good chance of being nominated.

 

[Owzat]

someone want to start a thread, best spinner all-rounder with 50+ caps to average mid 20s with bat and mid to late 30s with ball

I think Valentine and Constantine are clear of the others....

I love how these threads always devolve into a list of players that clearly aren't the answer to the thread, but someone just felt like mentioning
