Good to see Allan Donald in a lot of peoples list. My favorite bowler ever even though he isn't in my top 5.

wasim akram
waqar younis
imran khan
shane warne
shoaib akhtar

the reason why I included shoaib was many times he took out the best players in the opposition team when he wanted to and the other team players couldn't see the pace of the ball. No player (batsmen) could make contact with even when they tried. The pace was just phenonmenal. But the problem is that he is sometimes not trying and so I could consider bringing him down from the top five. Becuz in that rating you have to be the best in every aspect of bowling.

You have to be best all the time!!!! which akhatr has not proven so I am little shaky!!!!!!

check this out shoaib is back to form and he is going to be unstopable, in the twenty20 match he received 5 wickets against one of the best teams. Everyone knows he could carry the pakistan team if he really tries. I think they should certainly consider him for the west indies tour. However, he has a real bad attitute so inzamam chose to leave him out; he claims that the entire team could beat the opposition with out shoaib akhtar.

Guy, you mind checking this out, it is really informative indeed:

My top 5

1. Sir Richard Hadlee: first bowler to 400 wkts, and if NZL played more tests during the late 70's, 80's and early 90's. He would no doubt have gotten to 600plus. Only bowler apart from Shane Warne that was take wickets on any type of surface.

2. Shane Warne: Love him or hate him, he is no doubt the best leg spinner ever, still got a few years left in him so no doubt will add more wkt's to his tally.

3. Kapil Dev: Don't know much about him but he was a part of the era of the all rounders in the 80's (dev, hadlee, botham, khan) finally beat hadlee's record of wkt's took him a lot longer to do so.

4: Ian Botham: A great all rounder, can win test matches on his own with either the bat or the ball.

5: Imran Khan: Don't know much about him, but again able to both bat and bowl, claims the world cup was his, not pakistans.

Might not be inline with other peoples views, but I can't see why Sir Richard Hadlee isn;'t in the top 5, considering that he was good to watch, so smooth, classic run up, and able to as i said take wickets on any surface. He had no need to bowl real fast as he was able to make that ball swing, nor short pitch bowling.

wht are you talking about !! in the twenty20 match he received 5 wickets against one of the best teams He has taken tht 5 wickets against the quetta bears tht was first time appearing in a domestic tournament i guess & guess wht they were the weakest team in tht tournament no big name in their side & by looking at the team there were no gud players in tht side : Bangladesh cud have played better than tht & u said one of the best teams in the twenty20 cup : inzimam havent said wrong there by looking at Shoaibs attitude he shud have understand why he said tht :
