Best Bowling Pair Currently

[Howsie]

Please take some time to see how he has improved in bowling match by match.

Yea I noticed that 0-73 of eight overs is an improvement over 0-36 of ten.

Howsie added 0 Minutes and 57 Seconds later...

Whatever makes you happy.

Please stay on topic RDF.

You can't really expect the bowlers to be economist in every match even the BEST bowlers. I said he is improving match by match. I didn't said he is taking more wickets and being economist match by match.
Yet he is best middle over bowler. He gets expensive in slog overs but he is very well in middle overs that's why I said he is best middle overs bowlers.

Ok Howsie. I won't reply to off-topic comments.

Talking about the topic, what are your picks? I reckon Bond & Dan will be on your list.

No, but I expect the best "bowlers" in the world to be averaging less then 45 with the ball.

:laugh not bad

Id say (6 different bowlers 4 pace 2 spin)

Opening= Bond, Dale Steyn
Middle= Vettori, Harbhajan
Death= Johnson, Malinga

Basically just 6 good bowlers

Slingers seem to perform really well in the death, maybe the lower order batsmen aren't so used to their ball trajectory.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

The trajectory of slingers makes it real difficult to get under the ball. They get awkward skiddy bounce too, so it isn't easy to go over the top when they're bowling, which is usually the first instinct in the slog overs.

Test

Opening:Muhammad Asif and Mitchell Johnson
Middle:Danish Kaneria and Murlitharan

ODI

Opening:Muhammad Asif and Muhammad Aamer or Styen or Mitchell
Middle:Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal
Death:Umer Gull and Malinga

T20

Opening:Muhammad Aamer and Malinga
Middle:Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal
Death:Umer Gull + nobody

 

[Fatal Shot]

Why do so many people rate Johnson higher than Steyn? Johnson has had two good series's and has been utter rubbish since then, while Steyn has performed well, for quite a long time, and has a better record in that span as well.

good post there
i would also pick similar lineup

 

[ali_ed2001]

in ODI's and T20's Afridi is probably one of the best middle overs bowler...runs through his overs quickly and keeps the run rate down while getting few wickets.

 

[irottev]

Any thread with best in the title is sure to be a disaster.

Give me Vettori and Afridi in the middle overs.

 

[King Pietersen]

I'm going to continue the trend of not being biased and go with:

Openers: Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad
Middle Overs: Graeme Swann and Paul Collingwood
Death: Andrew Flintoff and Tim Bresnan
