Best test bowler who average >=30

[Migara]

The idea came up after seeing the thread titled "Best Test batsman having average < 40"

Bowlers who average >30 and has taken >150 wickets

He will never get in here ?

I'll opt for Fred Titmus who had an astounding economy rate.

Freddie Flintoff.

Ishant has averaged 19 in his last 20 tests. If he can replicate the same for the next 20, he will be out of this list

And who would be thinking that when he was averaging like 38 after his first 6 seasons

Qadir

Flintoff is a good shout. Harbhajan and Yasir too.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Brett Lee, don't really rate him but he was better than the rest of this list

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Eddo Brandes

Eddo Brandes

definitely averaged >30 chickens a day

Is a 30 bowling average analogous to a 40 batting average? Is it the same with 25 bowling and 50 batting? Wonder what th distributions for each threshold look like.

Flintoff a lock

Always thought Flintoff was overrated as a Test bowler tbh. But when he was on, boy was he on.

Harmison during his brief peaks was close to being the best in this list. Can't imagine too many of them would've ever been ranked #1 like he was in 2004. Of course the downside to this was that outside 2004-05 he bowled complete garbage for the entirety of his career. Weird bowler.

Looking at his bowling action it's not hard at all to imagine why he lost his radar so much

More like biscuits.

Harbhajan would have given a run for his money with that 2001 series performance.
