Bowlers who would have been better if they just pitched the darn ball up

[subshakerz]

As the title suggests. Who got stuck at back of a length, looking pretty beating the bat yet toothless.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Anderson and Broad with the kookaburra

 

[ma1978]

Ishant Sharma is the poster boy of this

Morne Morkel is his apprentice

Morkel really wasted himself, could have been a real menace.

Mohamad shami and jasprit bumrah in england both shami(in 18&21) and bumrah (21&25) beat the bat so many times that had pitches bit fuller would have had plenty of wickets

 

[govinda indian fan]

Reading the tittle name that came on my mind is javagal srinath. Srinath bowled too short esp overseas. Had he bowled bit fuller at stumps with his pace would got 100 more wickets and averaged 4-5 point lower

Alzarri Joseph

 

[Ali TT]

Flintoff the classic for this? Harmison a bit as well, although he had as much trouble with line as length later in his career.

 

[Johan]

Awkward to mention him but Shami, was a very good bowler but would've been even better if he pitched it up more consistently.

Ambrose post surgery.

 

[andruid]

Weirdly enough, I remember there was a lot of fuss about Harbajan Singh not giving the ball enough flight and drift in test cricket

 

[Abhay423]

Chris Martin

 

[manoftommorow]

I think Ishant Sharma.

 

[kevinw]

Definitely Morkel.

 

[Randomfan]

Morkel

Always bowling short and it frustrated me so much.

 

[Gob]

Morkel by far

Notable mentions Siddle and Hilfenhaus (their short **** bowling machine tripe in 10/11 is still traumatic). Flintoff is also a good call

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I love when spinners give the ball air. It is such a great weapon to bamboozle the batsman.
Man, I miss real cricket.

 

[Coronis]

Wasim Akram

 

[the big bambino]

Could Morkel actually move the ball much? His height and pace made him a natural hard length bowler.
