England's Jimmy Anderson should be in any top ten list ...... he's taken more Test Match wickets than any other fast bowler in history and he's still playing for England at age 40
My guess is that they considered what these bowlers achieved in the amount of time they played maybe. For example, Muralidaran took 300 wickets in 58 tests the 3rd fastest. Haddle 4th with 61 tests. Steyn and Warne 63 tests Mcgrath 64 tests. Anderson 81 tests the 29th fastest. Yes he is 40 but that would come down to modern techniques of looking after the body than compared to what was known years ago. But as I said that just my guess. There is no denying that Anderson is a fantastic bowler but after watching cricket for just over 3 decades I myself would not have him as a top 10.
Still Jimmy is not among the greatest of cricket ...avgs 27 ...strike rate 60+ ... There are atleast 20 bowlers better than Jimmy in the history of cricket
Pakistan 🇵🇰 have always had very powerful, Strong and very dangerous bowlers . Even in the current situation, Pakistan 🇵🇰 has such dangerous bowlers. Which has been a nightmare for very good batsmen. ~ My heartfelt greetings to both of you from Pakistan 🇵🇰🥰
Anil Kumble is a very under rated bowler. He is the highest wicket taker for India. He was overshadowed by Shane warne and Muralitharane in the same era.
Well said "They dont make them like they used to", definetely true. Pakistan is known to have produced best bowlers from decades, they say you shake a tree and a great fast bowler comes down there. Only nation to have 3 fast boelwers in Top 10 including #1 Wasim Akram.
Pakistan is known as the land of pace bowlers. Our Batting has been always a problem, but our bowling was always on top, Even right now we had the best bowling attack. that is the reason you have seen a lot of Pakistani bowlers in this video.
As an Indian I say this, the batting was not a major problem just sometimes with the talent Pakistan had, they couldn't do justice to bringing victories as a team or sometimes luck wasn't in their favour. The team always were world beaters & Wasim & Waqar were deadly as far was bowling was concerned.
@@A.R.V_02 nothing wrong in what I said, I'm saying because I saw how dangerous Pakistan were in the 90s, we didn't win many matches at all. Even after Shoaib Akhtar, Afridi came by late 90s, Pakistan looked even tougher, sad part was seeing Salim Malik getting banned, as he was a very dangerous player. Saeed Anwar absolutely destroyed us in 1997. Waqar & Wasim always made the sweat drop in our bodies. It was unfortunate Pakistan didn't make it bigger, they came till the final in 99 but that match was unfortunate & Aussies deserved to win. Pakistan were very good till 2007, till Inzamam was the captain of Pakistan & he retired. After that is where Pakistan kinda declined.
@@Sachin_C10 I agree And after 2007 India's been untouchable aswell We are slightly makin a return especially in ICC events in these recent years Just been very unlucky in the finals
@@A.R.V_02 well Pakistan now is very strong in bowling, it's just very exciting, they just need more support from fans, I'm just excited coz next time it's Ind vs pak it's gonna be very exciting.
I'm 60ish (1 more day to go), and have seen all of these players. How Dennis Lillee didn't get a mention is beyond me. A tearaway fast bowler in the late 60s, had a major back injury and came back slower but smarter and was the defining bowler from the mid 70s on. His stint with World Series Cricket, when he was at his peak, didn't help his figures
Belated Happy Birthday to you, and yes I was stumped too about Dennis Lillee, I haven't seen him bowl, but the stories and the sheer admiration of his has left me wanting to see him in his heyday. You are absolutely right. Dennis Lillee should have been in here.
Steyn in his prime was something else imagine being no 1 in icc ranking for straight 5 years if he was not injured he could be no 1 in this list surely
Dale Steyn is such a nice bloke too. He and Mitchell Johnson had this dual personality thing where they were both ultra likeable, quietly spoken, thoughtful, kind, and sometimes even funny off the field but give them a cricket ball and both were stone cold killers. Both were virtually unplayable at their peaks, especially on a lively pitch. Steyn especially had the potential to be the greatest ever but express pace bowling takes a heavy toll on the body eventually and Steyn was no different.
Waseem is the best bowler and most humble person too , The legend was known as the swing of Sultan because no one ever survived his reverse swing because it's unreadable
I am biased, I think Warne was the best bowler of all time, but in addition he and Glenn McGrath played in the same team so took wickets from each other. The pressure they could put on batsmen when bowling in tandem was incredible, so I guess they were able to generate more chances. Warne got over 700 wickets and McGrath over 500 but why I rate Warne higher than Murali is what he brought to the game, he got the people into the ground, he popularised Test Cricket again, you were on the edge of your seat every delivery. I'm sure I'll get some heat from people disagreeing with me but that is my opinion. Murali, no doubt, was a great bowler, he took advantage of a birth defect where he couldn't straighten his arm and I believe he could generate extra spin through that action. He was controversial and rules had to be changed to allow him to bowl a legal delivery. But, being able to turn a ball a lot doesn't mean anything unless you have accuracy and he was deadly accurate, as are all the bowlers on this list and I guess that's what makes the big difference. You have faster bowlers, bowlers with more swing and more spin but only the greats had more accuracy and more consistency. Jimmy Anderson probably should be in there but maybe the list only included past players, he will certainly be on there after he eventually retires.
I am Australian, Wasim Akram, the best left armed bowler who lived. Curtly Ambrose the most imitation, Warney the best wrist spinner, Muli the best finger spinner.
How is Dennis Lillee not here, he is considered the greatest by so many people. It's like having a greatest guitarists of all-time and leaving Hendrix out!
Muttiah Muralitharan who own the world leading wicket taker title they nominate as second. There is no mention of Lasith Malinga who was the world amazing bowler.
I love your enthusiasm to learn the game! We love test cricket best. I don’t agree with this list but all the bowlers would be in the top 25, I think it needs to be the top 25, thanks again.😊
I'm very surprised to not to see - COURTNEY WALSH, ANIL KUMBLE, JAMES ANDERSON, JIM LAKER, JAVAGAL SRINATH, BRETT LEE, Malcolm Marshall, SAQLAIN MUSHTAQ, HARBHAJAN. AT least no Walsh this is unbelievable. Special mention Henry Olonga 😂😎 for making my 90s more exciting.
some legends in there. while akram was the best swing bowler ive ever seen, whether hes the best, is another matter. theres all types of bowlers, different eras, and whether its by stats. you could add bowlers like fred trueman, ray lindwall, bob willis, joel garner, bishen bedi, the list goes on. two they def missed out, were jeff thomson, and dennis lillee, who absolutely terrorised batsmen in the 70's.
A few honourable mentions who didn't make the list: Andy Roberts, Dennis Lillee, Joel Garner, Jimmy Anderson, Ian Botham, Brett Lee, Fred Truman, Michael Holding, Ray Lindwall
I saw Malcom Marshal in a test match against England. He was the fastest bowler I have ever seen. He ran up, his arm went over and the first time you saw the ball was when the fielder picked it up. He was bowling at over 90mph. I never saw the ball.
I m happy Dale steyen made the list ... to me steyen gun was poetry in motion his deliveries I mean also sad to see Alan Donald didn't make the list ..
I remember going to see Australia v West Indies in a world cup one year, I remember seeing McGrath throw a ball from the boundary, and although he only moved his hands a few inches, the ball flew from his hand like a rocket! I was amazed at how little effort it took him to throw it such a distance!
Reverse swing refers to the bowlers ability to make the ball swing slightly out then back in mid flight. As a bowler in my youth, I managed it a few times, but never consistantly.
Also surprised Shaun Pollock didn't make the list, he was one of the most economical bowlers in history, and holds the record for the most maiden overs in ODI history (313). Very similar to Glen McGrath in the way that he kept such a consistent line and length that frustrated batsmen to such an extent that they were forced to make stupid plays
If steyn would not have been injured he would be the greatest test bowler of all time AFAIK he remained no.1 bowler in tests for like six years Correct me if I am wrong
Wasim Akram was really the best. He can deliver an over with 6 different varieties and tactics... He read the mind of the batsman & delivered his over where batsman never thought off. Legend Wasim Akram...❤
I think the list has been made with stats, these were the best of the best, current bowlers have a lot to chase to catch up with these legends of the game.
No Dennis Lillee.. you have to be joking and don't forget the ICC changed the rule relating to throwing to accommodate Mulali thereby calling into question the validity of all his wicket taken before the change. Most people, except those on the sub continent, rate Warne as the greatest spin bowler of all time.
I mostly agree with the list.....but there were so many legendary bowlers left out like Jimmy Anderson, Brett Lee, Shoaib Akhtar, Zahir Khan, Irfan Pathan, Anil Kumble, Bumrah, Lasith Malinga and many more
Bret lee, James Anderson, M.Starc, L.Malinga, and of course like Imran Khan and Wasim Akram, there are many other Pakistani bowlers as Pakistan is called land of pace and swing..
Hi Pakistani cricketers are always on the top in the bowling There is long list of world top bowlers from Pakistan Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Saeed ajmal, Mohammad Amir ,Mohammad Asif ,saqlain Mushtaq ,Umar Gul ,Junaid Khan, Imran Khan, and many many more,
4:25 'steyn might not have been the fastest bowler'. Wtf watch mojo has no idea about cricket. Steyn is one of fastest bowler in the cricket history, he's known for his pace which scared every batsman
@Robert Duhaime Just to shed some light on bowlers: they don't "throw" the ball when the ball is bowled. This is why bowlers in cricket have a "run up" so they can generate momentum and utilise that speed when they land and let go of the ball at the crease. It's all to do with the biomechanics of the bowling action. That's what makes it unique and so incredible. They bowl with speeds of upward of 150kms/hr...that would be 90+ miles p/h. Whereas because baseball pitchers throw the ball, it's a lot easier to generate that speed. That's the difference but they don't throw it like you mentioned haha
It's very difficult to phase fast bowler.. You can't imagine because you don't about that... When you try to understand this game you will like this game.. Such a gentl game is this
Great reaction guys love it so wasim akram world's No.1 Bowler he is renowned as king of swing so watch n react Tribute to wasim akram King of swing or called swing ka sultan n sultan means king 👑 please react on this video thanks ali from pakistan....
There are so many greats in the past years of cricket, the current generation have a very tough job living up to them but there are players who will be remembered as all time greats in the current generation including Australia's Pat Cummins in both his bowling and his captaincy. He is a remarkable consistent wicket taker with a knack of getting the key wicket at the right time but he is also an incredibly wise captain as well who leads from the front. There is Jasprit Bumrah who is actually starting to surpass Cummins as a bowler with an incredible average, His figures will put him amongst the all time greats. Kagiso Rabada from South Africa can not be denied as being on a level with those 2 though maybe lacking a little bit of consistency in comparison but has incredible skill and pace. As far as batting is concerned in the recent past AB devilliers will be amongst SA greatest ever cricketers in all formats but Currently Steve Smith and Virat Kohli are the 2 biggest names in batting with the most enviable record though now at the twilight of their careers.
This list was very correct and unbiased for every one. No one recect these legendary outstanding performance in the game of cricket. Basically there only three teams who have the best fast bowling atttack Pakistan, W. Indies and Australia.
@@garethmorgan9374 I was about to say South Africa too. Allan Donald, Dale Steyn, Shaun Pollock. I guess, because of the apartheid ban from 1970 to 1991 a lot of players missed out. I would loved to have seen more of Mike Proctor and Peter Pollock, although Pollock was more to the end of his career in 1970. But prior to the 70s and World series Cricket and one day cricket there was a lot less cricket played and South Africa missed all that.
Also,Modern Day bowlers can not reach such great heights because nowadays lesser test matches are being played. And many grounds have shorter boundaries nowadays.
Sadly we have no footage of the great SF Barnes as he played before WW1, but he still holds many important bowling records. His bowling style was unique landline
There are definitely greats at the moment, but for most of them, they still have a long way to go before they pass most on this list. But here is a list of currently playing bowlers that could definitely end up on or close to a top 10 list. Jimmy Anderson (England) - (Arguably should be on this list, he is as good an exponent of swing as anyone and still going at 40) Jofra Archer (England) - (Incredible talent, but hasn't played a lot of cricket in nearly two years due to injury. But he is still young, and has the pace and skill to be one of England's greatest if he can get back on the field and start playing again) Pat Cummins (Australia) - (Current Australian captain, and arguably the best fast bowler at the moment, his skills are outstanding, but he still has many years to go in his career, but probably when he finishes he will be very close to top 10) Jasprit Bumrah (India) - (Outstandingly talented, but injuries have probably stopped him from achieving his best in recent years, but he still has a long way to go before he passes many of the names on that list) Shaheen Shah Afridi (Pakistan) - (Still very young, but he is an incredible talent, he is very good pace, and swing bowler) Trent Boult (New Zealand) - (Probably the best new ball bowler in the modern era, excellent swing bowler with the pace to back it up) Kagiso Rabada (South Africa) - (Definitely the best bowler in South Africa at the moment, fast, accurate) Josh Hazlewood (Australia) - (Absolutely deadly in all conditions, his control of length is as good as anyone, a little like Glenn McGrath, but faster) Mohammad Shami (India) - (Incredible swing bowler, and on his day easily a top 10 of current bowlers) Ravi Ashwin (India) - (Probably the best spin bowler of the modern era, his record speaks for itself, although I don't think he is quite on the same level as a Warne or Murali) Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) - (Probably the best ODI and T20 bowler in world cricket at the moment, unfortunately being from Afghanistan has meant he has had very limited opportunities at Test cricket, truly an exceptional bowler and still very young. It is very possible that by the time he retires, he will make that list) I would also note that the list presented includes bowlers only from the late 1970s onward and there are several names that older fans of the sport will point to as deserving a place in the top 10. Kind of hard to do a top 10 without video footage though. For the historians of the game, names like Dennis Lillie (Australia), Jim Laker (England), Bill O'Reilly (Australia), Harold Larwood (England), Frank Tyson (England), Fred Trueman (Australia), Wes Hall (West Indies), Alan Davidson (Australia), Kapil Dev (India) these are all worth reading about. I would also argue that Dennis Lillie should probably be on that list though, he was universally renowned as the best fast bowler of the 1970s, and by a significant margin. The combination of Denis Lillie and Jeff Thompson terrified batters of that era. Of note as well, while he is certainly not regarded as being on the level of some bowlers on this list, Jeff Thompson was probably the fastest bowler to ever play the game. Unfortunately, the technology to track speed accurately just didn't exist at the time. Anyway, enjoy the content guys, keep it up.
Brett Lee should get an honourable mention. He actually broke his back after bowling as he would bowl chest facing but legs sideways which wore away a disk in his spine. After an operation he came back and was faster than ever!
React on australia vs south africa highest total match in odi format. Australia made record total and south africa broke that record same day chasing the score and defeating aus.. it was amazing and historical match. Also react of champions trophy 2017 final pak vs india it was amazing match.
An official ICC all time ranking list does exist. On it in the top 10 are only 4 of the bowlers on this list,which ,like the batting one is very modern centric (TV exposure). These are Murali,Khan,McGrath and Curt the Hurt Ambrose. Number one on the ICC list is Sidney Barnes,who played each side of 1900. He took 189 wickets at 16.43 in only 27 Tests. He is the fastest to 150 wickets and holds the record for most wickets in a series (49) ,where he only played in 4 of the 5 matches. He took 719 first class wicket at 17 but hardly played for the first class sides as they didn't pay as well as the League's.
List is just perfect but order might be changed for me Marshal should be in top 3. Notable mentioned outside top 10 should be Joel Garner, Dennis lillee, Holding, Allan Donald, Kapil dev, kumble, Anderson, rangna herath
Shane Warne while not being no1 in number of wickets taken was still by far the best test bowler history without even questioning. And anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't really understand the game properly
"...surviving Marshall's new ball burst.." clearly puzzled you. It referred to the period of play where the bowlers are using a new ball. It is rounder and harder than a used ball, and can be used with great effect by the fast bowlers. The stitched seam around the ball is much more raised and prominent when it's new. Some medium and fast bowlers specialise in landing the ball on the seam, causing it's path to suddenly deviate. This period of play can be more dangerous, physically, for the batsmen too.
You need to do a whole seperate video on Murali his genetic ability of being able to hyperextend his elbow allowed him to do some incredible things with the ball
Waqar Younis video name is yorkers from hell by waqar Younis. Yes 2 W's ( Waseem and waqar) was awesome my personal favourite and I think waqar Younis was more dangerous than Waseem but Waseem Akram got the title of sultan of swing and waqar Younis got toe crusher Yorkers from hell banana swing and double swing in one ball master
He took 700 in 172 test matches ... Yup , he's the CR7 of cricket in fitness but not in skill surely ... Even he's not among top 5 of present day bowlers ... He avgs 27 & strike rate of 61 ... Cummins , Bumrah , Rabada , Nortje , Boult , Jansen , Hazzlewood & Starc are much superior to him in skill
@@rohanchoudhury8043 You might be interested to examine his average and economy rate throughout his career. His stats in the latter third of his career are phenomenal and hence why a lot of people rate him so highly is not because he is still playing test cricket at 40 years old but that his best years have been since he turned 30! edited to add some figures. between 25-29 avg 28.47. between 30- 34 he averaged 25.45. between 35-40 he averaged 21.39. Since turning 31 he has taken over 300 wickets at an average of just over 22. That, I propose, puts a different light on Anderson as it shows how he has grown his skill amd was still improving at ages where most other seam bowlers have retired.
@@hammerhiem75 ...26.75 is roughly equal to 27 ...Cummins have 21.3 , Rabada 22.5 , Bumrah 23 , Shaheen 24 , Nortje 23 , Jansen 22 , Hasan 24 ....So 7-8 bowlers presently have much better avgs than Jimmy ... Historically there are another 2 dozens ... I haven't lied 2-3 yrs back his avg was 27 & strike rate 60+ may be it has improved
@@noelplum99 ..I didn't knew that , thanks for the info ...If he improves for another 2 yrs he may bring down his avg below 25 & strike rate around 50 ...!
Statistics don't lie. Ultimately in cricket, only two stats matter for bowlers. The number of runs they concede for each wicket taken; and the number of deliveries they must make for each wicket taken. The second is less important, but because it doesn't matter how many wickets you take if you don't bowl the opposing team out twice in the allotted time for play, it remains important. With that in mind, and giving the economy rate twice the weighting of the strike rate; the top ten bowlers in Test Cricket, at least, are: 1) Curtly Ambrose; 2) Glenn McGrath; 3) Shaun Pollock; 4) Muttiah Muralitharan; 5) Fred Truman; 6) Imran Kahn; 7) Malcolm Marshal; 8) Richard Hadlee; 9) Lance Gibbs; and 10) Courtney Walsh. That's 4 West Indians, and 1 each from Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, England, Pakistan and New Zealand. The next five on the list (in order) were Wasim Akram (Pakistan), Allen Donald (South Africa), Shane Warne (Australia), Denis Lilley (Australia), and Ravichandran Ashwin (India).
Lasith Malingas another monster. Has so many streaks and unique records as well. Freak with his slinga
He didn't become a great test match bowler, which is essential for me.

A few honourable mentions who didn't make the list: Andy Roberts, Dennis Lillee, Joel Garner, Jimmy Anderson, Ian Botham, Brett Lee, Fred Truman, Michael Holding, Ray Lindwall
Allan Donald and Sean Pollock too
I saw Malcom Marshal in a test match against England. He was the fastest bowler I have ever seen. He ran up, his arm went over and the first time you saw the ball was when the fielder picked it up. He was bowling at over 90mph. I never saw the ball.
I m happy Dale steyen made the list ... to me steyen gun was poetry in motion his deliveries I mean also sad to see Alan Donald didn't make the list ..
Wasim Akram must react. He is legend.
The chucker at number 2. Turn it up.
I remember going to see Australia v West Indies in a world cup one year, I remember seeing McGrath throw a ball from the boundary, and although he only moved his hands a few inches, the ball flew from his hand like a rocket!
I was amazed at how little effort it took him to throw it such a distance!
Look into "Sultan of Swing" next
Reverse swing refers to the bowlers ability to make the ball swing slightly out then back in mid flight. As a bowler in my youth, I managed it a few times, but never consistantly.
As always anyone more than forty years ago is forgotten. Wes Hall and Charlie Griffith and then Jeff Thompson and Dennis Lille and etc etc….
Never heard these names.guess why?
@@galaxray8700 can't think why not if you are a cricket fan.
Murali ❤️
Murali is a Chucka who had the rules changed so he could play fact
He was checked by ICC and nothing was wrong . Sad to see some people(most of them are australians) try to blame him because of his greatness
@@tharushamahakumara8205 The ICC changed the rules to allow him to bowl

Mashalla Muttaiya muralidaran Srilankan Best Bowler 🇱🇰 congrats
Warne is number one full stop, my top 10, 1, Warne 2,Murali 3, McGrath 4, Akram 5, Stein 6, Ambrose 7, Lillee 8, Hadlee 9, Marshall 10, Imran
WoW,Pak ex-PM on number 10.
Btw,My favorite is Dale Steyn.
Also surprised Shaun Pollock didn't make the list, he was one of the most economical bowlers in history, and holds the record for the most maiden overs in ODI history (313). Very similar to Glen McGrath in the way that he kept such a consistent line and length that frustrated batsmen to such an extent that they were forced to make stupid plays
If steyn would not have been injured he would be the greatest test bowler of all time AFAIK he remained no.1 bowler in tests for like six years
Correct me if I am wrong
Wasim Akram was really the best. He can deliver an over with 6 different varieties and tactics...
He read the mind of the batsman & delivered his over where batsman never thought off. Legend Wasim Akram...❤
I think the list has been made with stats, these were the best of the best, current bowlers have a lot to chase to catch up with these legends of the game.
No Dennis Lillee.. you have to be joking and don't forget the ICC changed the rule relating to throwing to accommodate Mulali thereby calling into question the validity of all his wicket taken before the change. Most people, except those on the sub continent, rate Warne as the greatest spin bowler of all time.
I mostly agree with the list.....but there were so many legendary bowlers left out like Jimmy Anderson, Brett Lee, Shoaib Akhtar, Zahir Khan, Irfan Pathan, Anil Kumble, Bumrah, Lasith Malinga and many more
Bruh Bumrah just started. Malinga didn’t have a long test career. Zaheer and Irfan in the top 10 of all time? Come on
Zahir khan, irfan pathan, Bumrah WTF 😂😂 these are even not closer to our Umar Gul or Wahab Riaz
Shohaib Akhtar should be there.
No one could play him.
This guy would dismiss Sachin Tendulkar on duck wow!
You are absolutely right
There are no current cricketers like them anywhere
U know who taught Shane warned the Googly.
Abdul qadir one of best spinners of Pakistan
Qadir was one of a kind.Most exciting spin bowler.
Bret lee, James Anderson, M.Starc, L.Malinga, and of course like Imran Khan and Wasim Akram, there are many other Pakistani bowlers as Pakistan is called land of pace and swing..
Hi
Pakistani cricketers are always on the top in the bowling
There is long list of world top bowlers from Pakistan
Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Saeed ajmal, Mohammad Amir ,Mohammad Asif ,saqlain Mushtaq ,Umar Gul ,Junaid Khan, Imran Khan, and many many more,
4:25 'steyn might not have been the fastest bowler'.
Wtf watch mojo has no idea about cricket. Steyn is one of fastest bowler in the cricket history, he's known for his pace which scared every batsman
React To Tribute To Babar Azam it is Heart touching struggle
You should react on wasiam akram greatest bowler of all time
Joel Garner and Dennis Lillee were good too
@Robert Duhaime Just to shed some light on bowlers: they don't "throw" the ball when the ball is bowled. This is why bowlers in cricket have a "run up" so they can generate momentum and utilise that speed when they land and let go of the ball at the crease. It's all to do with the biomechanics of the bowling action. That's what makes it unique and so incredible. They bowl with speeds of upward of 150kms/hr...that would be 90+ miles p/h. Whereas because baseball pitchers throw the ball, it's a lot easier to generate that speed. That's the difference but they don't throw it like you mentioned haha
It's very difficult to phase fast bowler.. You can't imagine because you don't about that... When you try to understand this game you will like this game.. Such a gentl game is this
There are several kinds of bowling, primarily divided between pace and spin bowling. Pacers go fast and spinners try to turn the ball.
Lasith Malinga also. Best modern day bowler.
Great reaction guys love it so wasim akram world's No.1 Bowler he is renowned as king of swing so watch n react Tribute to wasim akram King of swing or called swing ka sultan n sultan means king 👑 please react on this video thanks ali from pakistan....
The list is pretty accurate!
There are so many greats in the past years of cricket, the current generation have a very tough job living up to them but there are players who will be remembered as all time greats in the current generation including Australia's Pat Cummins in both his bowling and his captaincy. He is a remarkable consistent wicket taker with a knack of getting the key wicket at the right time but he is also an incredibly wise captain as well who leads from the front. There is Jasprit Bumrah who is actually starting to surpass Cummins as a bowler with an incredible average, His figures will put him amongst the all time greats. Kagiso Rabada from South Africa can not be denied as being on a level with those 2 though maybe lacking a little bit of consistency in comparison but has incredible skill and pace. As far as batting is concerned in the recent past AB devilliers will be amongst SA greatest ever cricketers in all formats but Currently Steve Smith and Virat Kohli are the 2 biggest names in batting with the most enviable record though now at the twilight of their careers.
This list was very correct and unbiased for every one. No one recect these legendary outstanding performance in the game of cricket. Basically there only three teams who have the best fast bowling atttack Pakistan, W. Indies and Australia.
Uh.. no. South Africa is 100% in that list.
@@garethmorgan9374 I was about to say South Africa too. Allan Donald, Dale Steyn, Shaun Pollock. I guess, because of the apartheid ban from 1970 to 1991 a lot of players missed out. I would loved to have seen more of Mike Proctor and Peter Pollock, although Pollock was more to the end of his career in 1970. But prior to the 70s and World series Cricket and one day cricket there was a lot less cricket played and South Africa missed all that.
Waseem magra were great but my personal favourite was dale stan..... I grew up in his era..... And he was for sure a comlete fast bowler...
Mine too .....Dale Steyn is so menacing.i love his bowling and whole aura.
Mine is Shane bond unfortunately he didn't play enough due to his injuries
Jimmy Anderson, Lasith Malinga, Brett lee, Zaheer Khan
Also,Modern Day bowlers can not reach such great heights because nowadays lesser test matches are being played.
And many grounds have shorter boundaries nowadays.
Sadly we have no footage of the great SF Barnes as he played before WW1, but he still holds many important bowling records. His bowling style was unique landline
& sports historians still argue what his style was? Best guess seems to a strange mishmash of medium pace and spin.
React on magical over of waseem akram plz reaction on that video
There are definitely greats at the moment, but for most of them, they still have a long way to go before they pass most on this list. But here is a list of currently playing bowlers that could definitely end up on or close to a top 10 list.
Jimmy Anderson (England) - (Arguably should be on this list, he is as good an exponent of swing as anyone and still going at 40)
Jofra Archer (England) - (Incredible talent, but hasn't played a lot of cricket in nearly two years due to injury. But he is still young, and has the pace and skill to be one of England's greatest if he can get back on the field and start playing again)
Pat Cummins (Australia) - (Current Australian captain, and arguably the best fast bowler at the moment, his skills are outstanding, but he still has many years to go in his career, but probably when he finishes he will be very close to top 10)
Jasprit Bumrah (India) - (Outstandingly talented, but injuries have probably stopped him from achieving his best in recent years, but he still has a long way to go before he passes many of the names on that list)
Shaheen Shah Afridi (Pakistan) - (Still very young, but he is an incredible talent, he is very good pace, and swing bowler)
Trent Boult (New Zealand) - (Probably the best new ball bowler in the modern era, excellent swing bowler with the pace to back it up)
Kagiso Rabada (South Africa) - (Definitely the best bowler in South Africa at the moment, fast, accurate)
Josh Hazlewood (Australia) - (Absolutely deadly in all conditions, his control of length is as good as anyone, a little like Glenn McGrath, but faster)
Mohammad Shami (India) - (Incredible swing bowler, and on his day easily a top 10 of current bowlers)
Ravi Ashwin (India) - (Probably the best spin bowler of the modern era, his record speaks for itself, although I don't think he is quite on the same level as a Warne or Murali)
Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) - (Probably the best ODI and T20 bowler in world cricket at the moment, unfortunately being from Afghanistan has meant he has had very limited opportunities at Test cricket, truly an exceptional bowler and still very young. It is very possible that by the time he retires, he will make that list)
I would also note that the list presented includes bowlers only from the late 1970s onward and there are several names that older fans of the sport will point to as deserving a place in the top 10. Kind of hard to do a top 10 without video footage though. For the historians of the game, names like Dennis Lillie (Australia), Jim Laker (England), Bill O'Reilly (Australia), Harold Larwood (England), Frank Tyson (England), Fred Trueman (Australia), Wes Hall (West Indies), Alan Davidson (Australia), Kapil Dev (India) these are all worth reading about.
I would also argue that Dennis Lillie should probably be on that list though, he was universally renowned as the best fast bowler of the 1970s, and by a significant margin. The combination of Denis Lillie and Jeff Thompson terrified batters of that era. Of note as well, while he is certainly not regarded as being on the level of some bowlers on this list, Jeff Thompson was probably the fastest bowler to ever play the game. Unfortunately, the technology to track speed accurately just didn't exist at the time.
Anyway, enjoy the content guys, keep it up.
Brett Lee should get an honourable mention.
He actually broke his back after bowling as he would bowl chest facing but legs sideways which wore away a disk in his spine.
After an operation he came back and was faster than ever!
Jimmy Anderson takes 900* wickets in his career. He is very very talented bowler.
Dream😂
@@filaff3298 700 wickets ho gai hn or abhi wo khel raha hy

Mohd asif from Pakistan is somone you should watch...also michael holding from WI
Dale steyn was a beast
Great Dale Steyn ❤️
Pakistan has the fastest and most dangerous bowlers in all of world and still has world beaters in the team
Waqar wasim duo was just from different world
number 2 is once a chucker & always a chucker aka thrower
White lighting, Allan Donald of south Africa.... He is also one of the greatest bowlers of all times. My favourite..
2:00 he is ex prime minister of Pakistan 😍
What makes those players different is that they could singlehandedly turn a game or win a game for their team.
Muhammad Asif should be in this list. And also Brett Lee.
You should make a video on Shoaib akhter's bowling..... Deadliest bowler ever
React on australia vs south africa highest total match in odi format. Australia made record total and south africa broke that record same day chasing the score and defeating aus.. it was amazing and historical match. Also react of champions trophy 2017 final pak vs india it was amazing match.
An official ICC all time ranking list does exist. On it in the top 10 are only 4 of the bowlers on this list,which ,like the batting one is very modern centric (TV exposure). These are Murali,Khan,McGrath and Curt the Hurt Ambrose.
Number one on the ICC list is Sidney Barnes,who played each side of 1900. He took 189 wickets at 16.43 in only 27 Tests. He is the fastest to 150 wickets and holds the record for most wickets in a series (49) ,where he only played in 4 of the 5 matches. He took 719 first class wicket at 17 but hardly played for the first class sides as they didn't pay as well as the League's.
shoaib akhtar, brett lee, jeff thomson are missing. these guys could dmolish anyone due to sheer pace
List is just perfect but order might be changed for me Marshal should be in top 3.
Notable mentioned outside top 10 should be Joel Garner, Dennis lillee, Holding, Allan Donald, Kapil dev, kumble, Anderson, rangna herath
Glenn McGrath slightly better than Wasim Akram and the all time best 🔥
I love your enthusiasm for cricket
Best commentator Kerry O'Keefe for when he said "that ball was a Rock Hudson, if you don't get it ask your Mum"
Looked straight.
Check out James Anderson, 40 and still one of the best in the world. Pat Cummins, Jasprit Bumrah is one to watch.
And if you want fast bowlers Mark Wood and Jofra Archer are good. Top teams in the world have some all time great bowlers current playing
Yeahhhhhhh Jimmy Anderson is one of the greatest of all time. But people underestimate him.
Bumraah is injured for so long.....R.I.P Indian bowling🥲he's gonna miss border- gavaskar series too
WTF you're comparing bumrah with these beasts. Bumrah is even not closer to hazlewood or umar gul
Shane Warne while not being no1 in number of wickets taken was still by far the best test bowler history without even questioning. And anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't really understand the game properly
You guys missing real legends videos. Make a separate video for Murali and Wasim Akram.
Wasim Akram is known as KING OF SWING 😍
that's why he is one the best bowler in the world
Waqar Younis
Test and ODI type best wicket taker and most 5 wicket and most 10 wickrts taker is muttaiah muralidharan ❤
Yes, this list is pretty much correct
Great video
"...surviving Marshall's new ball burst.." clearly puzzled you. It referred to the period of play where the bowlers are using a new ball. It is rounder and harder than a used ball, and can be used with great effect by the fast bowlers. The stitched seam around the ball is much more raised and prominent when it's new. Some medium and fast bowlers specialise in landing the ball on the seam, causing it's path to suddenly deviate. This period of play can be more dangerous, physically, for the batsmen too.
Whatever I have seen in cricket, Dale Steyn was real nightmare to the batsmen ❤️
You need to do a whole seperate video on Murali his genetic ability of being able to hyperextend his elbow allowed him to do some incredible things with the ball
Waqar Younis video name is yorkers from hell by waqar Younis. Yes 2 W's ( Waseem and waqar) was awesome my personal favourite and I think waqar Younis was more dangerous than Waseem but Waseem Akram got the title of sultan of swing and waqar Younis got toe crusher Yorkers from hell banana swing and double swing in one ball master
Jimmy Anderson is missing on this list ,he took 700 wickets in test cricket
He took 700 in 172 test matches ...
Yup , he's the CR7 of cricket in fitness but not in skill surely ...
Even he's not among top 5 of present day bowlers ...
He avgs 27 & strike rate of 61 ...
Cummins , Bumrah , Rabada , Nortje , Boult , Jansen , Hazzlewood & Starc are much superior to him in skill
@@rohanchoudhury8043
You might be interested to examine his average and economy rate throughout his career. His stats in the latter third of his career are phenomenal and hence why a lot of people rate him so highly is not because he is still playing test cricket at 40 years old but that his best years have been since he turned 30!
edited to add some figures. between 25-29 avg 28.47. between 30- 34 he averaged 25.45. between 35-40 he averaged 21.39. Since turning 31 he has taken over 300 wickets at an average of just over 22.
That, I propose, puts a different light on Anderson as it shows how he has grown his skill amd was still improving at ages where most other seam bowlers have retired.
@@rohanchoudhury8043 That's twice you've lied about his stats.

Great legend
Statistics don't lie. Ultimately in cricket, only two stats matter for bowlers. The number of runs they concede for each wicket taken; and the number of deliveries they must make for each wicket taken. The second is less important, but because it doesn't matter how many wickets you take if you don't bowl the opposing team out twice in the allotted time for play, it remains important. With that in mind, and giving the economy rate twice the weighting of the strike rate; the top ten bowlers in Test Cricket, at least, are:
1) Curtly Ambrose; 2) Glenn McGrath; 3) Shaun Pollock; 4) Muttiah Muralitharan; 5) Fred Truman; 6) Imran Kahn; 7) Malcolm Marshal; 8) Richard Hadlee; 9) Lance Gibbs; and 10) Courtney Walsh.
That's 4 West Indians, and 1 each from Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, England, Pakistan and New Zealand. The next five on the list (in order) were Wasim Akram (Pakistan), Allen Donald (South Africa), Shane Warne (Australia), Denis Lilley (Australia), and Ravichandran Ashwin (India).
