There's nothing like seeing Dale Steyn steam in and bowl a ramp shot.

 

[Samuels]

The one that get a bowler a wicket. No real favorites.

I think beamer can even take out players from the play.

The backward delivery. For reference play AC 13.

The yorkers are the best.. It's simple in action but quality yorkers like Lasith Malinga's yorkers are POISONOUS...

Ravi Jadeja's Armball is pretty effective too!!

My favorite is, left arm pacer swinging into the right handed batsman. It was treat to watch especially if it turns out to LBW!

I don't know if I am the only one who notices but when a bowler bowls a yorker some batsmen advance down to turn it into a low full toss. So I think that is getting cracked. It was a tough one between Wrong 'un and Reverse In Swinger but at the end for me it will be the reverse in swinger.

Obviously, the best ball is the length ball just outside off stump. It's the ball that most bowlers are trying to bowl most of the time, regardless of skill and indeed, without too much influence from style. Many deliveries possess surprises for the batsman, but a crucial element of cricket, probably the majority element, is making decisions. A good length is decided by the point at which it is most difficult to decide whether to play forward or back and the ideal line is the one that probably won't hit the stumps if it goes straight on, but probably would if it comes back off the pitch.

Creating indecision is vital to beating an opponent. A trained batsman can play swing and spin virtually by muscle memory. At the top level, batsmen are trained to pick up a delivery out of the hand, observing the grip and the action. They are very good at predicting the delivery from that point, allowing them to make an early decision to play or leave. A bowler's job is to push batsmen to make their decisions late, or extract a penalty for making a hasty choice.

I think that leggi is the most dangerous and wicket-taking bowler. Shane Warne and Anil Kumble were best bowlers of the world.

The one that get a bowler a wicket. No real favorites.

Well exactly.

Sometimes it can be a set up, a series of deliveries that gets the batsman out, but some prefer the snorter or the Jaffa of a delivery that does for a batsman all ends up.

Personally I just prefer a good contest between bat and ball, the one mode of dismissal I don't like is the one England batsmen get out to too often and that is the stupid shot.

Even though it's not my favourite, clearly Pizza wins. The option to get an extra large and finish it off over the course of the days play probably elevates it.

 

[sifter132]

Hard to beat a bouncer, my favourite delivery to see bowled.

Although yes as Angry rightly points out, good length in the corridor of uncertainty is the 'best' ball to bowl.

Ravi Jadeja's Armball is pretty effective too!!

Of course Nikhil, but there are many top spinners like: Ajmal's off spin and Narine's off beak.

yorker is the best one. It is very difficult to bat in yorker especially Malinga's.
