Bumrah's slower ball yorker to Marsh should be in there imo, never really seen that take a wicket in Tests apart from maybe Akhtar?
Merv Hughes got Chris Broad with a beauty in the 1989 Ashes.

English batsmen will feature in many of these - Harris, Johnson, Cummins and Warne all with notable balls to remove English batsmen this century.

And some essential viewing (6:50 is the closest cricket comes to visual perfection):

At this point Cummins/Root (7 dismissals from 10 matches) is shaping up to be the new McGrath/Atherton (19 from 17).

Cummins is so ridiculously good. Never expected him to be the incredibly accurate machine he is today.

He's also patient and intelligent, which is why he's so lethal (but also why he doesn't have huge numbers of big hauls).

What is weird is how good he is without ever really swinging it. Pretty much just bowls straight up and down most of the time. But still takes wickets more than Jimmy Anderson who hoops it around corners.
