Best ODI bowling performances

The ones that was talked about are Vass 8/16, McGrath 7/15, Bichel 7/20 and Murali 7/30.

But the two I think greatest is Austrailia's Gary Gimour's 6/14 against England at WC and India's Anil Kumble's 6/12 against West Indies at Hero Cup.

What do you think???

Ganguly's 5/16 was a really amazing one. Unexpected by a bowler like him. I forgot against which team it was though. Nehra's 6/23 against Engand in the World Cup 2003 was a good one too. I tink Kapil Dev also got something like 9 for 40 odd runs, but I'm not sure if its ODI or Tests. I don't even know if its true.

He never did that. It was against England. 5/45 in 10 overs and 5/31 against some team. I think against England. Even that was in 10 overs.

Come on Dravid Fan don't be biaased,I mean Ganguly & Nehra's efforts where terrific but they don't come close to Bichel's 7/20 or Gar Gimour's 6/14.But it's your opinion after all.

By the way what's the second best figues by a spinner against IND in ODI's (best is Murali 7/30)?

Gareth Batty against West Indies A for Worcestershire 3-16 from 10 overs

You might have dreamed about it. Once I dreamed about this match where Harbhajan made a century in the 2007 World Cup and then I suddenly woke up. It took me a minute to realise that the World Cup was a half a year away.

Sachin Tendulkar's best bowling performance is 5/32. I accidently found this.

Did you notice that Sanath Jayasuriya 3 times got five wickets or more? Did any spinner do better than this?

6/29 - Against England in 1993
5/17 - Against Pak in Lahore 2004/5
5/58 - Against WI in Port of Spain in 1997

Murali is the only spinner to take more five fors (5) than Jaysuriya in ODIs?

How's that for an all rounder?

Of what mate??

Manchester United is a football team not a cricket team. Even I can take 8/11 against football teams.

Saj Mahmood bowled well for Eng in ODI's

muhahha how untrue.

Aqib Javed got a hatrick on  docile sharjah batting paradise he finshed with 7 wickts, he had Ravi Shastri, Tendulkar and azharuddin all LBW!

here is an article about it...

Aqib Javed 7-37 Pakistan v India, Sharjah, 1991-92 (202.25)

Officially at least, Aqib Javed was only 19 years old when he took to the field in this final at Sharjah. But in a white-hot clash with Pakistan's old rivals India, the boy came of age. He took 7 for 37 - at the time the best one-day bowling figures - to fell India in their pursuit of 262 for 8, including a hat-trick of lbws in his third over. And this wasn't just any old hat-trick: Aqib nailed Ravi Shastri, Mohammad Azharuddin and Sachin Tendulkar, who between them share over 750 one-day caps and over 23,000 runs. This on a day when Imran, Waqar and Wasim managed 0 for 73 between them.
