It’s either Bumrah, Ambrose or Hadlee.

Hadlee for the insane WPM (basically a big carryjob) overall + arguably the greatest bowling series of all time

If Bumrah has another ATG tour the next time, I'll probably go him. But Hadlee for now
Johan
International Coach
Hmmm I'd go
1. Ambrose
2. Hadlee
3. Barnes
4. Bumrah
Ambrose dismantled greater batting lineups imo, Bumrah had the spiciest wickets followed by Hadlee/Ambrose with Barnes having the slowest and least spicy wickets in Australia (imo) while Bumrah also had maybe the best series, Barnes and Hadlee have transcendent WPMs but think Ambrose just bowled to the best lineups.

Hadlee. Yes he had that poor early tour, but he had the greatest series ever and two great series aside from that against strongish sides.

What is this match factor?
Thala_0710
International Regular
Match factor = (Total avg of all bowlers in matches including player X)/(Avg of bowler X)

Will have to write code for that, I'm not doing all that manually

@sayon basak why Barnes?

Ambrose no contest for me. Personal bias and he faced tough lineups each and every time and bossed them.
