Who is the most durable pacer of all time?

Who is the most durable pacer of all time?
I don't know (probably Walsh, as many people have mentioned him name)

I can answer the opposite question -
I.e most injury prone Bowler of all time - Josh Hazlewood ( he's gonna miss another WTC Final )

Jofra Archer?

Jofra Archer?

Shane Bond.

Jofra Archer?

Yeah, however he only got injury for one time and never returned to test cricket,
But Hazlewood is keeps getting so many different types injuries very frequently,
If not for injuries, his test wickets tally would have close to 400.

Some other names worth mentioning… Reid, Mortaza

Jofra Archer?

Shoaib. Easily.

 

[Coronis]

Shoaib. Easily.

Meh. He didn’t really have any injuries til he was almost 30.

 

[subshakerz]

Meh. He didn’t really have any injuries til he was almost 30.

Don't think that's true.

 

[Coronis]

Don't think that's true.

iirc didn’t he have his first injury after the 03 wc? And even then people were speculating if it was genuine or poor commitment to the team?

Kapil Dev

At time of his retirement :
1. Most Test matches played
2. Most wickets in test cricket
3. Most balls bowled in test cricket
4. Most one day matches
5. Most wickets in one day cricket
6. Mostly balls bowled in one day cricket
7. Scored 5000+ Test runs
8. Scored 3700+ one day runs
9. Bowled an average of 210+ balls every Test
10. Never missed out a single match due to injury

At time of his retirement, Kapil bowled 27000+ balls in test cricket. The next best among fast bowlers was Hadlee with 21000+ balls.

At time of his retirement, Kapil bowled 11000+ balls in one day cricket. The next best among fast bowlers was Imran with 7000+ balls.

What makes this even more impressive is Kapil often bowled in the spin pitches of India and no other pacer in India took 100 test wickets.

Vaas bowled a hell of a lot too, more in ODI.

Almost sure he had niggles before that.

 

[Thala_0710]

Not number 1 but Hadlee worth a mention?

Some other names worth mentioning… Reid, Mortaza

Reid is always the one I think of, as a) I was around and watching when he was bowling brilliantly but simply couldn't stay fit, and b) am of the generation where The Twelfth Man's material is a part of my cultural identity.
