Picking your best Non-ATG Bowling Attack

[subshakerz]

Pick your bowling attack based on the following categories but the selections must strictly be non-ATGs. To make it easier, these are bowlers who you would not consider to be in the the top 20 or so of all time.

Conventional swing bowler for new ball
Conventional seam bowler for new ball
Third pacer with older ball
Wrist spinner
Finger spinner

 

[Johan]

Lol, no chance I'm picking two spinners, anyway

Alec Bedser
Harold Larwood
Keith Miller
Trevor Goddard (All Rounder)
Lance Gibbs

Anderson
Walsh
Miller
Grimmett
Ashwin

 

[Johan]

If Anderson and Walsh aren't ATGs ofcourse they open but my understanding is that majority rate them as ATGs

If they aren't allowed I'd go Bedser and Philander probably

too slow.

 

[Thala_0710]

too slow.

Miller's there for the pace

 

[Johan]

I like Bedser + Larwood, Slow In-Swing specialist from one end who can drop insane cutters at any moment + express outswing specialist with immense accuracy

 

[Thala_0710]

I don't mind my new ball bowlers bowling in the low 130s, when they're as skilled as Bedser and Philander

Is Anderson a seam or swing master?

I specified that one has to be swing and the other seam.

He's a mix tbh. Started as a swing specialist and later developed the wobble seam. But I think he can still qualify as the swing specialist.

Philander doesn't count as a seam bowler?

 

[subshakerz]

Philander doesn't count as a seam bowler?

He does but isn't Bedser also seam?

 

[Thala_0710]

Bedser was an inswing specialist right? Afaik

 

[Johan]

Bedser bowled inswing and leg cutters as his average balls, depending on the state of the ball, and sometimes combined both.

Yeah exactly

 

[Johan]

Larwood could also both seam and swing it away from the right handed Batsman but he was definitely mainly a swing bowler, and once ball got old he relied on short pitched leg theory mostly.

How does Miller works as a specialist first change??
