You got to be kidding? Anyhow, Ambrose and McGrath for me. Ambrose was real hard to play with his bounce and he rarely bowled a ball down leg side or half volley. McGrath and his nagging accuracy was just too much for the batsmen. Probably the only bowler who I can remember keeping down Lara so often.
In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

There's a thread similar to this somewhere that I've seen, but anyhow, there's a few I'd name - Ambrose, McGrath, Donald, Wasim, Waqar, Bond, Pollock, Vaas, Walsh and Gillespie for me. 
Good one Graham!

Bond?? Maybe you didn't see the "90's".

Courtney Walsh was very good, no doubt but his best buddy Ambrose was just better.

in what way?

He may have been better, but your implication that to think Walsh the best bowler of the 90s is absurd, is clearly wrong.

Not really wrong because it's his opinion, most will agree with him though, Walsh was a good dependable bowler, not in the league of some of the others mentioned though.
Monkey see, Monkey do.
