Greatest Indian Bowler 1.1

[Days of Grace]

Voted for Kumble. No other bowler has won more games for India.

Harbhajan Singh must be a bit stiff not getting on the poll having taken over 200 wickets at an average very comparable to the others on the poll (on you could argue flatter decks).

Yeah I reckon because Harbhajan is such a douchebag he gets underrated on this forum. No all-time-great but his record is very good. Definitely deserves a mention.

Would agree with this tbh.

Although would have to say Kapil and Kumble the two obvious contenders of those I've seen. Kapil in particular was a real stand out pace-bowling wise for India, though Kumble's efforts here in 03-04 in particular were Herculean, I thought.

Just watching the video on Kapil on Cricinfo. Really awesome. Would love to see more videos of him.

YouTube - Aus vs Ind, 3rd Test, Melbourne 1981 - Aus 2nd innings

Kapil in Melbourne Test (Same test where Gavaskar threw his toys) Indian won the test match.

Note the article says best fast bowler India has ever produced.

Voted Gupte, considering he's consensus among most experts as the best spin bowler India has ever produced (if not ever). Everything about him screams most talented Indian bowler ever. It's a shame he missed out on his prime (and subsequently, the rest of his career) because of a minor incident.

Can't believe ppl voting Zaheer and Agarkar over Kapil.......................

First of all, For agarkar to be in that list is a great achievement; so, why not vote for him

 

[Anil]

think kumble has done enough to pass kapil as india's greatest bowler...but it is pretty close between the two of them...

Kapil. To average under 30 in India for a quick is a damn awesome effort.

Kapil. To average under 30 in India for a quick is a damn awesome effort.

Particularly in an era when there were so many draws.
