Flat wicket merchants top 5:I'll not be glib on this one.
No bowler will always be great in unhelpful wickets.
With with the slightest hint of bounce McGrath would always be a handful and you can be assured he wouldn't be a liability.
McGrath could also move the ball both ways, still being a threat from that perspective keeping the ball in the corridor.
The origin of Imran being great in the SC and subsequently on flat pitches is based purely on his performances at home. SL were minnows and he sincerely struggled in India.
So I'm not seeing the obvious advantage that you're referencing.
Marshall
Mcgrath
Bumrah
Imran
Steyn
Honorable mentions to Holding, Bishop, Wasim etc
Spicy wicket merchants:
Ambrose
Donald
Steyn
Philander
Garner
Bowlers like Marshall, Hadlee, McGrath and Bumrah and Holding generally could bowl on anything with similar effect.
