2. Andy Roberts [yes, all four of the great West Indian pace bowlers of the 70s and 80s must be among top 25 - alongwith Ambrose; Hall too should be in contension]

1) AK Davidson
2) KR Miller

Davidson's record should really be enough to get him into the top 25; any bowler with nigh on 200 wickets at less than 21 apiece really needs no further recommendation, surely? Miller bowled less towards the end of his career (he was neary 37 and crippled with back problems when he took his final bow), but his all-round exploits shouldn't obscure the fact he had been a great bowler in his own right.

1) Allan Davidson
2) Shaun Pollock (could've picked Miller, but Pollock's taken more wickets)

People like Neil Adcock and Johnny Wardle deserve consideration.

Indeed so. Wardle very unlucky to have his career co-incide with Laker & Lock; his record stands comparison to both of theirs and was argubaly the more versatile bowler than either, bowling orth(o)dox SLA and chinamen too.

1) KR Miller
2) JH Wardle
