Though Waqar had a great yorker, I would put down Garner instead in that category. Same with Garner and awkward height.

I think there has to be a category for best pace for which it has to be someone like Shaun Tait or Shoaib Akhtar or possibly Thommo.

Not seen anything really of Thomson, but Shoaib is the only one I've ever seen blow batting lineups apart with sheer pace.

It really annoys me seeing fast bowlers use the tactic of bowl as fast as you can and hope for the best. Usually if they are the 140kph to 150kph types like Ian Butler they get the smashing they deserve but if they have extreme pace like Shoiab and Tait then at times they get away with it which is infuriating. I regard the bowlers with some accuracy much higher than these annoyances. Bowling is meant to be accurate!!!!

Particularly agree with these.

Slow Ball - Ray Lindwall
Sheer Pace - Jeff Thomson

Suggest these. Ian Harvey belongs nowhere near this list.

Some here may argue otherwise, but you're right: Harvey is not a fast bowler (although his slower ball is one of the best that I've ever seen). In his stead, I'd give Spofforth the title.
