Freddie Flintoff :p
Not Brett Lee, he doesn't have the accuracy. I was amused to see in the latest LG rankings that Matthew Hoggard is ranked as England's top bowler above Jones, Flintoff and Harmison!!!

Best in what sense?? since the above bowlers has been asked for so the question should have been something like "Best Amongst Fastest?" as there r many better than all the mentioned. Anyway i have categorized each bowlers strength and weakness in following order:

Fastest:
1. Shoaib Akhter
2. Brett Lee (Second by slight margin to Akhter)
3. Shane Bond

Fitness:
All the mentioned bowlers are frequent subjected to injuries. imo Lee is fittest among them followed by Akhter & Bond.

1. Brett Lee
2. Shoaib Akhter
3. Shane Bond

Skill & Control
1. Shane Bond
2. Brett Lee
3. Shoaib Akhter

Gotta be Bond. Swings the ball as well as cuts it off the pitch. Fast and the nicest action of the three as well.

What do you mean actually? If you mean the fastest of 'em all than its Akhtar most definitely. But if you are talking about skill and control, then its gotta be Bond (Although he has lost some pace). BTW, include Harmison and Ntini aswell.

Yea, why no Flintoff, Jones or Harmisson? All 3 can reach 90 mph? I would have to go for Flintoff.

Ok langerrox, if bowling 95 mph isnt genuine fast I dont know what is :p

But yes I follow you, these 3 will, well actually shoaib doesnt much anymore. He has lost a lot of pace.
