Perfect Yorker.

Waqar had the most epic highlights but in terms of consistency and repeatability of near perfect yorkers, Malinga is probably the best.

Malinga's strength was his action. His point of release made it difficult to read his yorker. The best thing about Waqar's Yorkers were the late dip and reverse swing. With Malinga, if you were reading his action well, his yorker wasn't as lethal. But with a reverse swinging ball, Waqar's Yorkers would remove even well set batsmen.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say Wasim. More accurate than Waqar or Malinga, plus he could deliver them from around or over the wicket, and he could bowl inswing and outswing yorkers.

Here he does both types of yorkers in successive balls.
