Greatest bowling combination ever

[twctopcat]

Plenty to choose from e.g Mcgrath and Warne, Ambrose and Walsh, Waqar and Wasim, Trueman and Statham, the list goes on, anyone have any particular favourites?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I can't look past Waqar and Wasim for sheer devastating potential. After them I'd slot the ying-yang of Walsh and Ambrose.

 

[Sanz]

Bedi/Prasanna, Gough/Caddick and Pollock/Donald, still dont beat the duo of Wasim & Waqar. Lethal man.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Has to be Warne and McGrath. The heart of the bowling lineup in the most successful team of all time, with almost 1000 test wickets between them in a decade of bowling side by side.

 

[Shounak]

Thommo n Lillee

 

[Langeveldt]

Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock.. Possibly the best marriage of control and agression ever..

 

[Hit4Six]

wasim and waqar 5*

 

[The Baconator]

Wasim and Waqar no question but Mcgrath and Warne best seamer/spinner by a country mile

 

[twctopcat]

In terms of a test match warne and mcgrath are the perfect pair but wasim and waqar on their day could bowl bradman out for a duck.

 

[Slow Love™]

Presuming we're not restricted to just two bowlers (are we?), I don't think you can go past the late 70's/early 80's combination of Holding, Roberts, Garner and Croft.

 

[Tony Blade]

Well, the person who started the topic only mentioned duos..

 

[twctopcat]

Technically duo's because there are quite a few famous pairings, more so than foursomes etc. Although your four aren't bad .

another vote for Wasim and Waqar

 

[Richard]

Streak and Johnson.
My personal favourite, Caddick-Cork aside, was Allott and Nash in WC99.
Wasim and Waqar were surely one of the most devestating; Marshall and Holding must have been pretty close; but there are many who are for-all-intents-and-purposes equal.
It mostly comes down to personal favourites - for le it might be Lock and Laker, Lindwall and Miller, Larwood and Voce, or even Lockwood and Rhodes... nah, actually, I can't be bothered with this "le is 140-years-old" jibing.

 

[Smudge]

Kyle Mills and Chris Martin.

End of discussion.

Unless we go back to Richard De Groen and Michael Owens.

 

[marc71178]

Never going to happen, but I'd love to see Murali and Warne in tandom.

 

[PAKMAN]

The Two Ww's For Me

 

[SJS]

Miller and Lindwall

Trueman and Statham

Holding and Roberts

Wasim and Waqar

best bowling combo:

Malcolm Marshall and Michael Holding.

They are the Pele and Garrincha combo of cricket- peerless.

Then i would rate Lillee-Thommo, then Lindwall-Miller, then Ambrose-Walsh and then Wasim Waqar.

Thats my top 5.
