CW's Ranking of Pace Bowlers (Tests)

[Xix2565]

Let's re do this again and get Cummo in to top 10

Just take out the oldies and push him up along with Rabada and Bumrah.

Like them both but they aren't close to his level.

Shhh, no one in the future will care if it happens.

Nah. Cummins only looks good because he bowls himself when wickets are ripe for the taking. He's the new Wasim.

Cos Smith keeps dropping them in the slips?

 

[Line and Length]

I've commandeered the ATG All-Rounder and Spinner threads as @gftw hadn't updated for a while. He updated this list 5 days ago so I will wait for him to take control in the next few days before I do an update on his behalf.

 

[Line and Length]

No update for a week so, as with the spinner and all-rounder threads, I'm 'highjacking' the thread. The voting for the 36th position:
Wagner 4
Pollock 6
Morkel 1
Pollock now has the 36th spot. I believe there is enough talent to continue this to a Top Forty.

The List
1. Malcolm Marshall
2. Glenn Mcgrath
3. Richard Hadlee
4. Curtly Ambrose
5. Dale Steyn
6. Imran Khan
7. Dennis Lillee
