Best Pacer

[Agent Nationaux]

We have all seen how good the spinners have been in this tournament, but what about the pacers who have to work the hardest in the whole team and make sure that they take key wickets for their captains at the right time, go for the least amount of runs in the power play overs and are always dependable.

I have chosen the 3 pacers from the top teams who have already qualified or are in the running of qualifying (I have only selected 2 from Bangladesh). Please select as many as you want.

His 3 point ability on that game was outstanding.

Him and Smits dominating... then him, Smits and McKey in NBA Jam Tournament Edition.

Can only assume the Indian members went for Zaheer as they haven't been watching any other country's games. Been about seven better pace bowlers than Zaheer this tournament imo.

EDIT: Not that he shouldn't be up there, he has bowled well this tournament, but to have him currently in first is pretty disapponting and one-eyed for mine.

Why so many votes for Zaheer? Been good but not that good, surely. Gul the pick of them for me thus far.

Probably had something to do with him being bowled out before the assault began.

Maybe.

[KiWiNiNjA]

His stats are up there with the best.. also bowled on the wickets with the least assistance for fast bowlers IMO.

The lack of Southee love is pretty laughable, imo.

15th best average as it stands atm. Spare.
