Question

Acc. to you who is the current best bowler in the world ?

Answer 1

According to ICC ratings Murali & Bracken(test & ODI) but as KooKee says, Mendis is way up there and can be considered as the form bowler oat the moment

Answer 2

NATHAN BRCKEN (AUSTRALIA)

Answer 3

Ajantha Mendis

Yeah i do reliaze that he is a young bowler, and he has only played in one Test match series, but his record in such a short space of time is remarkable. He has out-bowled his team mate Muttiah Muralitharan, and he has won 2 or 3 matches for Sri Lanka already. Can anyone stop Ajantha Mendis in the future.

Mendis's record this year

3 test matches- 26 wickets, at an average of 18

13 ODI matches- 33 wickets at an average of 10.81

Brett Lee and Andrew Flintoff are terrific bowlers too

Answer 4

Brett Lee is too good

Answer 5

I think Brett Lee.

Answer 6

well its ajanta mendis, he has bamboozled the indian batsmen except sehwag and dhoni but strictly going by figures and performances he is the current best bowler in world cricket, but maybe in the long run the strike rate may not be this good  

Answer 7

ofcourse it's brett lee he is the only world greate fast baller.

Answer 8

I believe Daniel Vettori is the best despite the ICC rankings may not agree with me. He keeps his mind on bowling and at the same time captains the black caps like an old hand. If I had to pick a quick bowler as well, Bracken would be the one

Answer 9

Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka

Answer 10

IT'S BRETT LEE

Answer 11

Brett lee and Brett lee and Brett lee  

Answer 12

Flintoff. Brett lee before that. Don't go beyond these two.  

Answer 13

Bret lee, Murali and Freddie are the current best bowlers...

Some say Mendis... But I don't accept it because he has not come to that level... Because, he did not exposed to international cricket that much.... He is a good bowler, I don't refuse it...

To became a best bowler he have to perform consistently for some more years......

Answer 14

Walter Ray Williams, Jr.  

Answer 15

I Think Mendis is.

For a debuting spinner to play against india, who are notiriously referred to as the best players of spin and have players who have absolutely murdered some of the greatest spin bowlers, like Warne, mushtaq, Saqlain, Murali ect... and yet they coudnt handle a debuting spinner.

Moreover he took something like 26 wickets, even though the idians sort of sorted him out in the final test, but overall he was unplayable with murali in tandem.

He run through argubly the finest and best middle order there has been, and made out soem of them to be club cricketers.

take a look a laxman, he got him out 5 times, This is the man along with sachin, who destroyed Warne, and yet succumbed to a newbe.

And Dravid got out to him 4 times aswell, Dravid is known as the wall, and is probaly the second best player in terms of run making and consistency of this decade, and yet Mendis broke dravids wall and succumbed it into a broken fence.

Mendis is an outstanding bowler, and i wonder how other people fair against him. Sri Lankan cricket is once again going to be exciting again

Answer 16

It cannot be a bowler   it has to be more than 1......

i think murli and fredy and a emerging talent is mendis..........

  

Answer 17

The best bowler in this present world is  shoaib akhtar.

even if he is banned for indiscipline..... to play his pace is just very difficult....... he is still a tough competitor........

even murali and brett  are great ....... i don't want to rate mendis too high as he is very very new to the game.......

But my all time favourites are

1) kapil dev

2) wasim akram

3) waqar younis

Answer 18

Champion bowler Ajantha mendis with 10 per wickeaveragege,.. almost unbelievable~

Answer 19

lee

Answer 20

Jerome Taylor of West Indies

Hope that answers.
