Vaas...oh wait you said fast bowler

 

[Arjun]

How does it stack up when you include fast bowlers from non-Asian teams?

 

[Matt79]

Doing that would kind of defeat the obvious purpose of the thread...

Where are the Windies quicks, McGrath, even guys like Kasprowicz who were very good there?

 

[Flem274*]

Dennis Lillee.

 

[_Ed_]

Not the best by any means, but IIRC Dion Nash had a surprisingly good record in India.

 

[Precambrian]

List of fast bowlers with more than 20 wickets in India, SL and Pakistan combined

Surprised by the first name on the list.

 

[_Ed_]

Dayle! WAG.

 

[Cricket_God]

this thread was meant for subcontinent fastbowlers as they have played more tests here compared to fast bowlers from other countries which leads to lower average of foreign players unless they have played 15 tests in subcontinent they do not count

Ok.

Here's the revised list then

 

[Athlai]

CA Walsh played 17
MD Marshall played 19
RGD Willis played 15
SM Pollock played 15
GD McGrath played 17

And Hadlee had 13 and was a gun.

 

[Goughy]

Ok.

Here's the revised list then

Also, matting wickets should not be considered true sub-continental conditions. Only games played on grass/rolled earth (natural surface) should count.

i am really amazed by imran khan stats ,allthough kapildev comes close to him
but wasim akram and waqar younis have wickets against weaker sides-zim,wi,nz
and struggled against top sides ,vaas is pretty much the same.so last spot in top three is between wasim and srinath

 

[Athlai]

Okay here's 15+ matches in sub-continent conditions with at least 20 wickets.

I also excluded matches played against Zimbabwe or Bangladesh.

So did the 80s now not exist?

I remember that 2004 tour of India

Gillispie and Kasper were heaps good.
