Heath knows.
Those toe-crushing yorkers that appeared to swing a country mile were things of deadly beauty. Good luck with those...
I'll throw a nod to the late, great MD Marshall too. Could do it all, swung it both ways, moved it off the seam and had a nasty, slippery bouncer too. Vale. Gone way too soon.
The great man in his cups here, thought he was very restrained in his reaction to Dujon shelling an absolute dolly at about 1.07 mins:

Ambrose and McGrath were the kings of getting wickets by ruthlessly bowling 100 very good balls in a row rather than bowling jaffas regularly imo.

S.F Barnes probably with The Barnes ball.
Among those I saw,have to say Steyn.

Heaps of MacGill's most unplayable balls didn't actually take wickets, not sure if that still counts or not.

I think Waqar really is the best answer here. I don't think even Akram was as reliant on simply blasting the batsmen out with an unplayable ball as he was.

What are you talking about.
Waqar was pretty much the inswinging Yorker only.
Wasim was so skilled you could almost expect a jaffa a match.
