Most Versatile Fast Bowler in History

Great fast bowlers have always dominated the cricket with Carrabian having most of big names to its credit. This forum is meant to find out the fast bowler (existing or retired) having the greatest variety in his bowling. No names are suggested from my side, but your prestigeous comments would be of great help for me in finding it out............So what are you waiting for please go ahead.

Which one of them did have the greatest variety in bowling? My question is not limited to Carribean only.

okay then probably west indies then australia second if you said spin that would obviously be india and a legend from that team still plays look at my username thats right anil kumble and harbarjn singh when he retires he will take 700 test wickets

do you think any current bowler will be as good as him i reckon irfan khan pathan is going to be the next wasim akram

okey dokey then i shall be lookin forward to more success for the indian team

naved ul-hasan has got a bit of reverse swing happening in the vb series he came in as a sub for aktar and troubled the jamacans and aussies with is in swinging reverse swinging yorkers

Irfan is certainly a far improved bowler, but i do not think he will become Wasim Akram. He lacks Wasim's pace, variety and attack. Pathan is a very good bowler, no doubt, but Wasim is a legend.

Yea, a pretty late entry into cricket.

Rana will never be like Wasim. Wasim could do any kind of swing at will. He could bowl awesome reverse swinging yorkers, or 'toe-crushers'. He had good control over line and length and he had good pace.

Wasim Akram, Has been one of the kind, the bowler with most variety, highest wickets agregate and excellent bowler for both forms of cricket, you may have accurate bowlers , you may have aggressive bowlers, swing, seem, reverse swing, good slow ball bowlers, but he was one COMPLETE BOWLER.

I think Imran khan was the best bowler, because he named the reverse swing bowling though sarfraz nawaz first did the reverse swing but imran give the right exploitation to it.

There have been great bowlers, but only complete bowler is Wasim, most versitile, most reliable on any sort of wickets, only one of his class these days is fredie!

Rana Naved Ul-Hasan i feel bowls too slow, only military medium pace. So at his pace he should be getting good control or he'll be kicked off team. Wasim is in a class of his own when it comes to Paki quik bowlers. Wasim is brilliant, Bouncers, yorkers, reverse swing, some convential swing, sharp pace, plus the variety of being left handed. Also a handy batsman too, few 100's, incl. 257* aginst Zim (not a gr8 op-postion, but still.) Clean hitter of the ball, Sixes were someting he could do.

Malcolm Marshall was the most adaptable bowler I have ever seen. Although he was express pace when he wanted to be he was a master at summing up the wicket and conditions and bowling appropriately, including bowling medium paced cutters to great effect on the subcontinent.

Windies speedsters are normally know for their extra heights. They deliver the ball from a greater height and its really hard for the batsmen to play the ball coming on the rise from good length. But i just dont understand, how Malcom was able to terrify the batsmen despite having a medium (rather small) height. He was terrific. I remember that during Windies tour to Pakistan, he just caused severe injuries to half of the Pakistani team. with his sheer pace. He was so cool to watch.

Malcom Marshal was a great bowler, accurate, speedy, actually he was the second bowler after thomson who could rise a ball pitched at a batsmen's feetoot,really really fast.
