Battle of the Best Bowling Action

I like Trueman a lot but he never struck me as having the best action. He always seemed like a massive tangle of arms and legs with a mop of wavy hair and a ferocious scowl. Also I felt his action was a bit too hurried and not poetry in motion like a few others. Actually would rate Astle and Dillon higher than him.

Okay, this is a close round, currently Ambrose on 27 points, and Cairns and Powar tied up on 25 points. Will leave it open for a bit as I don't want to cast the deciding vote quite yet.

He has the most gorgeous action for any off-spinner in the last 15-20 years, so yeah... dead serious
I just can't see it, I swear I'm not just being biased because he's not an international either.

Tbf finger-spinners in general don't get my juices flowing.
