Average/Good players who were better than everybody else in "one" skill/area.

The drift on Nathan Hauritz' deliveries, simply beautiful, I haven't seen anyone get more drift.

Venkatesh Prasad's leg cutters, I think they were extremely deceptive and he didn't play in an era where bowlers were creative enough to find different ways to overcome their weaknesses.

Jonty Rhodes and Derek Randall were both middling batsmen but world class ground fielders.

 

[Blenkinsop]

David Boon had a strong liver.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Franklyn Stephenson had the best slower ball ever for a while. I don't know if the footage is out there anywhere, but he bowled Brian Hardie with it in a One Day Final. The batsman always looks rather sheepish after ducking a slow full toss that hits the base of the stumps.

Nathan Hauritz was a really good talent very poorly managed.

Umar Gul was a quality seamer, but mainly due to being very good with yorkers

Jeffrey Boycott had a really fit grandmother.

Hugh Morris made exceedingly good toast, I believe.

Pretty sure Serbie said that only to draw you out.

Waqar Younis - ball tampering

Nah man, come on... no point stooping to ymaxx levels.


Waqar Younis till 1997 - Toe crushing reverse swining yorkers. Nobody made batsmen fall down playing full length deliveries like Waqar did. Its one thing to fell batsmen with the bouncer, he did it with his yorkers.

Andrew Symonds, exceptional sixth bowler in ODIs

 

[Daemon]

James Anderson, one of the best bowlers of all time under clouds with a Duke and incredible longevity for a fast bowler

At first I thought there was something to the comment that the Lords' sight screen isn't that tall so he might've been losing the ball altogether, but Gooch seemed to have no problem picking it up.
