Who is the second best SLA bowler playing right now?

[cnerd123]

also congratulations on including a cricketer who doesn't exist

Nah Ainsley Ndlovu is a real cricketer

I rate Embuldeniya very highly and think he'll do better than Herath.

 

[Migara]

Shakib on career and Embuldeniya on the form. If Embula matures properly and learns all tricks in the trade, he is going to be a much daunting task to play than Jadeja, because of the height.

This thread really jinxed SLAs

Shakib and Axar went and got themselves injured
Taijul 4-170
Leach 0-85 (12)
Nadeem 2-167
Nauman 1-70

Only Maharaj 6-208 and Linde 5-68 did well

classic 'when you ignore the ones who took wickets, they didn't take many wickets'

So where does Axar Patel rank in this list. Got Root out twice - better than Embuldenya?

Is it just me or does he bowl a fair bit less roundarm in red ball cricket? Seems almost like a totally different action to me.

Looks similar to his bowling in the recent IPL

 

[morgieb]

I'm still saying Shakib. Not convinced Maharaj is all that flash ITBT.

Yeah that's true. Either he's changed his action since he was an LOI regular or I just remembered it a bit uncharitably.

Axar clearly trying to prove a point after being left out of this poll

Is he going to take the Motera pitch everywhere he goes to play?

He's doing it all wrong, performing far too well if he wants to win a poll for second best SLA

 

[Starfighter]

IIRC he bowled really dirty stuff when he came down here in 2015. Like, Darren Lehmann level of dirty at times. Looks a completely different bowler.

 

[TheJediBrah]

tbf even Darren Lehmann might have cleaned up with the ball on a wicket like that

 

[cnerd123]

Darren Lehman's action was a thing of beauty, how dare you disparage it.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bevan’s lefties were better than Lehman’s
