Yk I always appreciate when someone posts the names of a bunch of cricketers I have never heard before

Central Districts, NZ

Surely you've heard of Blair Tickner.
Ajaz Patel should be in the list though.

Rabada
Roberts
Cummins
Benaud
Gibbs

Note: I’m not quite confident right now to proclaim Cummins and Rabada as ATG at this current moment. I’m generally reluctant to do so with current players.

I may have forgotten a wrist spinner.

Unless that's John Benaud, you haven't.

Chandra maybe if it's only bowling and you don't count Kumble here. And ofc Grum is behind Cummins for me.

Is Anderson a seam or swing master?

Watching some of his spells recently, feel he relied on swing a lot more early career but he started developing as a seam bowler around 2010 summer, when he became a great bowler, and by 2014/15 when he had his extended peak he was just as much a classical seamer as he was a swinger, if not a bit more honestly.

He learned the wobble ball from Asif and then used that against the Aussies.

Get Hazelwood in and count Anderson as ATG.

Hazelwood
Shoaib
Gillespie
Ashwin
Kumble

Cannot believe my eyes that I see James Anderson's name on this thread. Absolutely ridiculous. There are far better non atg bowlers

 

[howitzer]

I somewhat disagree with the premise of the op as that's typically not the way teams build a bowling attack. I also want to avoid selecting someone who falls short of ATG on primary discipline but imo is an ATG cricketer once you factor in secondary discipline/s. This means no Ashwin/Jadeja. Hence I will pick one Right arm opening bowler, one Left arm opening bowler, one old ball specialist, one specialist spinner and a batting all-rounder who can bowl both pace and spin but arguably falls short of ATG standard due to lowish longevity. Give me:
Josh Hazlewood
Mitchell Starc
Neil Wagner
Stuart MacGill
Tony Greig
That should go pretty well in a good variety of conditions.

 

[Red]

Get Hazelwood in and count Anderson as ATG.

Hazelwood
Shoaib
Gillespie
Ashwin
Kumble

But Haze is better than Anderson

 

[Majestic]

But Haze is better than Anderson

Not conclusive enough and injury prone as well.
