Battle of the Best Bowling Action

[wellAlbidarned]

ugh who nominated these?

Morrison
Siders
Akram
Mendis

as much of a genius Akram was, I dislike his action. Too shuffly and cramped.

 

[Himannv]

How the hell did these guys get nominated?

 

[smash84]

wasim's action is pretty cool

 

[L Trumper]

wasim's action is pretty cool

WTF? It is awkward and cramped. His bowling is genius, but action is rubbish.

 

[smash84]

not sure about that....I am probably biased but so many kids (myself included) would want to emulate that whippy action of his

You're not a kid

I loved Wasim's action, and (very, very badly) modelled my own on it.

Happy with this order.

Wasim's action wasn't pretty but it was magical all the same

Kapil Dev, Bishan Bedi are the ones that come immediately to mind when one thinks of lovely bowling actions

Morrison's action was the most replicated among NZ kids of my vintage. We didn't really understand that NZ sucked at the time. In those days I used to think that Morrison was quick as well.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Voting on aesthetics I'd actually have Sidearse ahead of Wasim. The great man had one of those actions that worked for him but which one wouldn't necessarily coach kids to follow.

Bit of Gus Fraser about Morrison, IMHO. Which is a good thing.

Assuming Mendis was a troll nom?

Morrison
Sidearse
Wasim
