Who is the best bowler from amongst the following?

Question

Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting, Andrew Strauss, Stephen Fleming, Inzamam ul Haq, Mohammad Yousuf, Rahul Dravid, Marvan Atapattu, Habibul Bashar, Herschelle Gibbs, Boeta Dippenaar, AB de Villiers, Brian Lara, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Murray Goodwin.

(I have checked, and all of these players have bowled in either ODIs or Tests, so there should not be any "He never bowled in international cricket" objections)

Answer 1

Ponting for president

Answer 2

2 Players

Shiv Chanderpaul & Ricky Ponting

Did you know that Chanderpaul was first picked for the West Indies side because he could bowl some tidy leg-breaks as well as being a compact and neat batsmen. The stats show the Chanderpaul could be a handy bowler when called upon if a bit wayward at times.

Shane Warne once said that Ricky Ponting's bowling was one of the most useful weapons a captain could have. Ponting's bowling is slightly underrated, he can actually move the ball of the seam, he often bowled 10 over spells (in ODI's) in the 90's and one moment that will haunt me forever is when he dismissed Michael Vaughan in the 2005 Ashes.

Answer 3

Murray Goodwin

Answer 4

Ponting.. hes take i think 4 wickets in a test match... and make little collapse of against team

Answer 5

I agree it is Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

Answer 6

I'd pick Brian Lara.

Hope that answers your question

Answer 7

If they bowl means,there will be best bowlers among them...this is stupid...

Answer 8

ponting

Answer 9

My friend, it has got to be Shivnarine Chanderpaul.  

Answer 10

I can bowl, even at my age but that doesn't make me a "bowler".

So the answer to ANY question as to the best bowler must remain Sidney Barnes.

As you obviously give these things much thought, do you disagree?

Answer 11

Ricky Pointing. He takes good care of the ball so he can be trusted with the ball.
