Which team bosts of the best bowling attack in ODIs? It has to be effective on all conditions.
Austrailia - very disciplined and lethal pace attack, who can rip apart any side. lacks a good spinner (get Brad Hogg in boys) Bangladesh - promising seam attack of Shadat Hossain and Mashrafe Mortaza. The three pron left arm spin is capable of strangling any side. But they lack performances in death overs England - Looks a good attack on paper (with addition of panesar), but taken to the cleaners if the pitch does not offer help. India - Apart for Kumble and Zahir Khan and Harbhajan on a slow wicket others are useless. New Zealand - promising fast attack, speraheaded by Bond and good spin support by Vettori and Patel, once again tends to be taken apart in relatively flat pitches. Pakistan - Threatening seam attack with seamers, swinger and express pacers, probably the best fast attack after SA, but lacks a wicket taking spinner in the ranks like Saqlain. Sri Lanka - Most complete ODI bowling attack, swing bowler, seam bowler, fast bowler, slinger, offie and a left armer as front liners. South Africa - Best sean attack is here which can send best of batting lines tottering. But lacks a spinner and liable for serious caning on slow wickets. West Indies - Taylor and Bravo promising, but overrated. Bradshaw is magnificient. Needs lot of improvement. My money is on Austrailia or Pakistan (and Sri Lanka if the pitch is marginally slow) |

Oh god, who ever rated them high??? Over rated my foot! Anyways, my answer is none other than the Mighty Aussies!!! McGrath, Bracken, Lee, - Also Johnson and Clark to back up!

I went for Sri Lanka because of their depth and options. Vaas. LFM Malinga. RF Fernando. RFM Murali. OS Jayasuriya. SLA Mahroof. RFM So many options and are all potential match winners. ------------- [ |

Pakistan has best bowling attack now so far such as Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Asif and Umar Gul - Dont forget the Shabbir Ahmed who is coming back after long time -- Pakistan is the second team to have best attack after Austrailia Then after Pakistan , it s South Africa and New Zealand |

It has to be Australia.
With the retirement of Warne and McGrath the test team will slightly suffer but with the upper coming talent of the Aussies ODI squad they still hold the best bowling attack in the world.
You dont get to top of the world by just batting, lucky for the aussies they are amazing on all areas of the one day game! ------------- Italian cricket captain of the future!! |

Sri Lanka have a very balanced bowling attack, left and right hand combinations, off spinners, fast bowlers and part time bowlers. Australia would be next but they need to improve Cameron White. I've seen him bowl he usually bowls very well, he just needs a few international scalps to get his cofidence up.
New Zealand are a bowling team, the've found good fast men and have Vettori and Petel to take wickets when needed. ------------- |

Dilshan a dangerous bowler?? You must be thinking of someone else. ------------- [ |

He said useful not dangerous.
I also agree about Australia - however they bowled fairly poorly yesterday in the Commonwealth VB series against New Zealand. Overall they've been bowling brilliantly of late. ------------- County Sim on extended break until I've got less work and more free time. When I have a specific date, I'll post it in the thread. |

wht u guys talking abt -- Pakistan is currently playing without Gul , Shabbir Ahmed and Shoaib Akhtar ---- that s why Pakistan looks weak without them --- wait for them in WC -- Meanwhile Pakistan is just trying to use new bowlers like Sami and Rana to experiement -- Beside Pakistan is playing with one bowler is Asif - u cant expect to have better attack without Shoaib Akhtar and the rest of them --- Dont forget it was flat track -- watch out for next match against SA -- Hopefully, it will be bouncy track  -- Not sure if pakistan may win but it s gonna be tough |

Pakistan has held on of the most potent attacks for the last two decades but has wone very few mportant games so therefore their attack cannot be seen as dangerous because as soon as the pressure valve is applied they roll over. ------------- Judge the player not by their stats, but by their opposition. |

| Inspite of Pakistan playing without full strength like Akhtar and Gul, but Pakistan still won the match against SA in 2nd ODI -- just imagine if Pakistan have full strength in WC - the result would be different and definitely, the result will go favor for Pakistan |

Oh boy, the Windies don't have the best bowling attack and still win matches. ODI is a funny game, the best in the business isn't really required to win but it would do real wonders if they are in the side. ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

Pakistan has got match winning individuals, only thing that is needed to make this team win is to keep them jointed and to form them like a gel team. If they could get the form of gel, no one can beat them in this world cup. From: Lion Heart |

| This constant dribbling about how much talent Pakistan has and they can beat any team in the world is total crap and needs to stop. Almost ANY team in the world can beat any other team on their day - just look through the history of the game. |

Pakistan have definately got an extremly strong bowling attack or even the best bowling attack if all the bowlers are present.

| Well there main two bowlers were missing, i mean lets say flintoff and panesar or harmison and hoggard were missing our bowling attack would be more horrendous than it already is. personally i believe they have the best bowling attack if everyone is fit thats just my opninon, i cant really see a better attack since som eof the austrialians have retired. |

It has to be Sri Lanka, well Aussies have the edge too. I wud say the two teams are far apart from the rest of the world when it comes to bowling attack. SL has an edge over Aussies coz I still dont understand what is Wtson doing in that line up, and I dont think Tait is agood gamble. ------------- Your Fear in a snake is your faith in the snake's ability to bite you. |

He can be a better bowler than Watson, to me in fact he is, just needs to work on his ru-up, coz pace and line are there. ------------- Your Fear in a snake is your faith in the snake's ability to bite you. |

the two best attacks in the world currently are either Australia or Sri Lanka. But i would lean on the sri lankan side. This can be justified through their two huge strike weapons - Lasith malinga and Murali. Two world class bowlers. Also Vaas is world class, the other bowlers arent so good but i spose still hold their own. ------------- Warriors!! |

Congradulations on 200 posts samhache, I agree although Australia might be on the wane seeing as without McGrath's preformances Lee and Tait will have to become more consistant. ------------- |
