CW's Ranking of Pace Bowlers (Tests)

I feel like if Larwood can make the top 25 for 32/33 then Mitchell Johnson shouldn't be far away here for 13/14.

To be honest, I'm not even sure who the next Aussie in line should be between McDermott, McKenzie, Harris or Johnson, let alone adding other countries' bowlers to the mix.

To me, it is definitely McDermott. Led the bowling attack admirably in the tough years.

We currently have a 3 way tie for the final spot on our list. I initially thought Shami had 3 votes but @CricAddict had voted for him twice (nice try). Voting closes in 24 hours so can we have some votes to break the Shami/Southee/McKenzie deadlock.
