What are the greatest bowling performances of the following bowlers?
- Thread starter subshakerz
- Start date
Northerner
School Boy/Girl Captain
For Broad it has to be 8-15 against the Aussies, taking 8 against any team is a great achievement but to do it against Australia is extra special,

State Captain
Dont know about others but for wasim rate his series vs new Zealand in 94 as his peak imo. Lost captaincy but bowled like a tiger. Also rate vs wi in 2000
Cummins - his best match is ten for vs Pakistan @g where he singlehandedly won the game but best he bowled was 20/21 bgt unplayble imo

Cummins is hard to say says he has consistently bowled throughout his career. He was pretty terrific in SA in 2018.without a key spell though.

Lillee's Centenary Test was mental. Was easily MOTM. Randall got it for making a game of it but Lillee deserved it.
His 7 fer against the Windies in 81/82 when he bowled Viv off the last ball and went past the record was right up there too. That was an underated series tbh - Aus led it 1-0 going into the last test at Adelaide, where WI chased 240 odd five down to win it.

Yeah that would be my vote too given the quality of opposition.

I think for Wasim it's hard for me to go past his Sydney test in 1990. But he also had a killer spell late career in WI in 2000.

Broad may not be rated as highly as the ATGs mentioned in the OP but, as Northerner pointed out, his 8-15 was something special.

Wasim's best spell was definitely that game in WI in the 2000 series where Jimmy Adams got WI home by 1 wicket. Some of the highest quality fast bowling I've ever seen in both innings.
