top cricket bowlers of all time

A Sussex and England seamer who bowled with pace and heart. He was renowned for delivering long spells, and on the 1924 25 tour he broke Arthur Maileys record of 36 wickets in a Test series, taking 38 at 23.18. He also performed well in England in 1926, taking 13 at 29.84. He was more expensive in 1928 29 and 1930, but still ended with 83 Ashes wickets at 30.60.

Blond and menacingly quick, he made his first Test appearance against England in the 1978 79 series, taking advantage of the absence of his more well known compatriots at the World Series to take a stunning 41 wickets in the six Tests, including six for 74 on his Ashes debut. Did not shine in England in the 1981 series, but took 11 wickets in three Tests in 1982 83 as Australia regained the Ashes, leaving him with a very respectable 56 wickets at 17 apiece against England.

Harold Larwoods partner in crime in the Bodyline series, the Nottinghamshire left arm paceman was not as quick as his county team mate, but could produce steep, disconcerting bounce. He took 15 wickets in four Tests in that series, missing the fourth because of injury. On the 1936 37 trip, when captain Gubby Allen insisted Bodyline was not deployed, Voce took six for 41 and four for 16 in the first Test at Brisbane. In the next Test at Sydney his spell of three for one in four balls including the wicket of Don Bradman helped reduce Australia to 80 all out. He took four for 10 and three for 66 in the match. He took 41 Ashes wickets at 27.51 each in 11 Ashes Tests all in Australia.

Truemans foil, he took 69 wickets against Australia at 30.98 apiece. That record does not compare that well with his overall figures 252 wickets at 24.84, but there were several notable displays. In particular he liked bowling at Melbourne, where he took five for 60 in the first innings in 1954 in an England win, and seven for 57, again in Australias first knock, although Australia won that match.

Freddie was in devastating form with the ball in 2005, taking 24 wickets, 15 of whom were left handers. Adam Gilchrist is probably still having nightmares about it he had his least productive Ashes and was dismissed by him five times. Too much on his shoulders as captain in 2006 07, and he seems he is struggling for form and fitness this summer in his Test swansong.

While not the greatest Ashes performer, he certainly produced the greatest Ashes bowling performance. The Australian fast medium swing bowler took 16 for 137 on his Test debut at Lords. He went on to take seven more wickets in three Tests in that series, but then played only two more Tests, performing quite well in Pakistan, before he was dropped forever.

The broadcasting great was also a top Australian leg spinner, who took 83 Ashes wickets at 31.81. It took him until his 16th Ashes Test to make a massive impact, when he took nine for 177 at Sydney in 1959, and followed that up with nine for 171 at Adelaide.

A bustling, flame haired Queenslander who took 84 Ashes wickets at 26.30 including 30 in his debut six Test series in 1985. He then took 18 wickets in two Ashes Tests in 1991, including eight for 97 at Perth; and a terrific 32 wickets in 1994 95, including six for 38 at Perth in his final Ashes innings.

Australian left arm quick who took 84 Ashes wickets at 23.76. His Ashes career was slow to take off he failed to take more than two wickets in an innings in his first 10 Tests against England, but came good in the New Years Eve Test of 1958 at Melbourne when he recorded match figures of nine for 105.

He should be first. He is third best bowler in the world. But if anyone saw the records he has taken most wickets for India He is a really good spinner no doubt that he is far better than any other bowler in India he has a good economy rate and always is there for the team he can also bat. He knows which ball to bowl when and has a variety of balls.
