What is the best ball to take a wicket from a non regular bowler?

[Migara]

We have various Anderson Jaffas, Magic balls from Wasim, Warne to Gatting, Murali to Ramesh etc. but those were regular bowlers.

Now who has produced the balls of the century from part timers?

I name Michael Vaughn to Tendulkar one, but I may have missed a lot of cricket in between.

What is your pick?

Ryan Harris to Cook

Probably dozens of part-time spinners bowled unplayable balls on dustbowl pitches in Asia

as far as non-spinners go ponting bowled some jaffas in his time

Mark Waugh too, when he used to bowl seam up

Waugh qualifies as a regular bowler imo - I'm interpreting this thread as genuine "**** it, let's give him a go" options

If Mark Waugh the seamer counts then I reckon Kyle Mayers counts and wins the thread. Bowls (slow) jaffas all the time.

But yeah I don't think they count.

If M Waugh and Mayers count ...... than that reverse swing yorker by Greg Blewett in one of Rebelinda's videos.

Mark Taylor

You mean Michael Clark?

 

[loterry1994]

Cooks leg side delivery to Ishant

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Ryan Harris to Cook

How does Ryan Harris not qualify as a non-regular bowler? He bowled extremely irregularly.

well he was regularly **** until he was about 32

 

[Victor Ian]

The thread has ended. The double bouncer is probably the hardest ball to bowl for a regular bowler, let alone a part timer.

 

[Jumno]

Tendulkar to moin 2004 test series

 

[TheJediBrah]

You mean Michael Clark?

Yeah Clarke and Root were the first ones to spring to mind

 

[Jumno]

Atherton got a wicket

 

[BoyBrumby]

Atherton got a wicket

He got two, actually.

Speaking of bowlers with two test wickets, I give you Damien Martyn at the WACA bowling a well set Bob Key through the gate with a little pearler of an inswinger:

 

[TheJediBrah]

Damien Martyn was a good looking bloke wasn't he

or maybe it's just because he was standing next to Rob Key

Atherton got a wicket

Atherton was actually quite a regular bowler in County cricket in his early days

Martin's wicket was pretty impressive.

Atherton got wickets of virtual non spinners. Nothing spectacular about them.

Allan Border down the line must have taken some impressive scalps.
