Best bowler of 1990s

[FRAZ]

Fleming was a swing bowler Fraz

Jono there is a difference b/w Akram , Younis and Mcgrath 's swing and Fleming's . Check his footages and you will see that "yes" he could swing the ball in to the batsman but the thing is that he wasn't a great great swinger and the thing which really attracted me was his length , And mind ya swinging into the batsman isn't a great thing for a bowler as even I could swing the ball if I was gonna get a decent back spin on the ball at the time of release having a right seam position but intelligent out swinger is what makes me think that "yes" the bowler is a true swinger !!!

Fleming was an outswinger.

Fleming was an outswinger.

Prove it !

Warne easily. Warne was at his peak during the 90s - those wonder years of '93 and '94 were truly special. Never as good in the noughties. Cricket in the 90s was defined by one man: Warne.

When not injured, Fleming's looping outswing, delivered from a smooth, high action, perfectly complemented the pacier breakbacks of Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie.

Nope, Warne was good for 93-97, but after that his form and fitness went downhill. Wasim and Ambrose were consistently excellent throughout the 90s. I felt Ambrose was more destructive, but Wasim was more skillful and capable of getting any batsman, even if they were set.

He had a great action and had a funny run up .. Just watch a footage of him bowling ! His feet were never straight and were always spread apart at a 180 degree angle while he came to bowl. He had a great line and length and was a master at maintaining a same length but didn't really swung the ball ... Anyways was kinda my fav bowler in those days but not the top most favorite at all .
I guess that Shoaib Akhtar's 1999 performances should have earned him a place there in the poll list ! anyways !!!

that was the only year he was good... he was fit and he was bowling fast. he hasn't been the same since then.

Yes, doland and Vass are not as good as him

You can't even spell their names right and Damien whatsisname is better?

 

[Glacier]

Oops I thought this was ODIs only. Would have voted for Ambrose or Wasim otherwise.

 

[BhupinderSingh]

No Donald on the poll?

I apologise to all the members for Donald omitting to be included in the poll.He's one of the greatest bowlers ever & I must've been drunk while posting this poll that I forgot to include him.

I must've been drunk while posting this poll that I forgot to include him.

Thought you were a Muslim?

 

[nightprowler10]

Ultimately, I'd say Wasim Akram.

AWTA. Followed by Ambrose.

 

[BhupinderSingh]

Thought you were a Muslim?

I've never drunk in my life but when you make such silly mistakes you must not be in your senses.Although alcohol is prohibited,there's a very small percentage of muslims who drink & its easily available.

This one?

 

[TheLad]

Prove it !

Will you take my word on it If I say I saw him play plenty of cricket, both on the box and live at the ground in Aus for international cricket and domestic matches. He was an outswing bowler with an off cutter who could from time to time reverse it in to the batsman.

Regardless my top 5 bowlers of the 90s

Warne
Akram
Ambrose
Donald
McGrath (Who exploits into the next decade would lift him up)

Your posts put me in high doubts about you !!!
