  1. The best bowling figures can be found here

    ..http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/curr...

    Laker has the best economy rate compared to Kumble (1.03 to 2.79) both taking 10 wickets in an innings. Kumble gave away 73 runs Laker only 53!

    Laker also took 19 wickets in the same match at 1.32 runs per over whilst bowling 68 overs.

    If you were to specify most wickets, then Muralitharan wins.


  2. the one & only kumble....

  3. No people it is NOT Anil Kumble, you'll find its former english off spinner Jim Laker!! taking 10/53 (therefore beating Kumble by conceding 21 less runs) vs Aus in 1956 after having taken 9/37 in the first innings!! yet strangley enough did not dismiss every opposing batsman in the match, i cant remember who it was, but i do know there was only 1 he didnt get in either innings

    Also, for the sake of getting it right, Kumbles figures were 10-74! not 73, but thats me being pedantic, and sometimes it would help some of you to remember that cricket is a world game, not just what happens involving India, or are some of you getting as bad as the USA!

  4. The best bowling figures are as follows:

        a) J C Laker                 10 for 53

        b) Anil Kumble             10 for 74

        c) G A Lohmann           9 for 28.

              Goes On..

              Thank You.

    muttiah-2 wkts in 29 runs
