Larwood

As much as Larwood probably deserves a top 25 spot, how did Miller and Statham get in before him?

So Philander and Southee when? Especially Tim. Shouldn't be too far from Jimmy. Walsh and Roberts were the last two who got in without any major asterisk.

Might be too medium-pacey, but I'll go Philander.

Time to stop IMO

Alright. If others want to stop as well, then that's fine. Order will probably get pointless soon like the batsmen list.

How does this list compare to the list I attached below? Mostly the same, but some small differences.
