I've assumed that it's Tests unless stated "ODI".

Correctly so cuz basicaly it's a cricket forum and not an ODI forum . So I assumed that I do not have to write down the cautions or hazards with a heading saying CAUTION

Probably Asif overall, but will have a better idea in 18 months to 2 years. Still very raw as a bowler. Pollock is getting on and isn't as threating as he used to be, same as Vaas. Ntini is known to go for a bit on flat pitches, with quite a few around, if you had a choice you rather a bowler who you can rely to to keep it tight o those pitches. Bond still got a long way to go interms of fitness. Don't know why Tait even on the list, Malinga should be there really.

As have I. However I always do that.

The fact that some of the categories say "ODI" and some don't, tends to back me up this time though.

Anyway:
1. Asif
2. Asif
3. Ntini
4. Pollock
5. Pollock
Overall: Asif

In that case its Ntini for me. Can't believe that everyone has forgot about him so quickly.

Ntini performed for the entirety of the last Test series, and has been consistently South Africa's best Test bowler for well over a year. Before those twelve overs in the second Test against SA, how long ago was the last Test match winning performance for Shoaib?

Against SA just recently . It doesn't matter how long is your chracter in the film . The only thing that counts is the weight of the chracter,acting and the personality .

My vote goes to shaun tait, i know you guys would say its a bit premature to say this. But tait is probably the perfect odi bowler for modern day cricket where flat wickets are a norm. He can swing the new ball at great pace, reverse it in the middle overs, and bowl toe crushing yorkers at the death so basically he is a complete odi bowler. He just needs to turn his talent into performances.

Actually, Pollock is the perfect bowler for ODIs on flat wickets, and McGrath was (is, you decide).

Accuracy becomes much more important when there is less juice in the pitch, and that's the one thing Tait is missing.

Haha, dire post.

He has the accuracy of a blind man.

i voted for asif becuase he was the only bowler in the Sa who was geting wickets despite no support from the other side. when we think about Pollock and nitini's performance. they were supported from other side. but asif was the only bowler who was bowling and geting wickets. if he would put the presure in the batsman. sami or nazir, or rana would were releasing the pressure with ther rubbish bowling. despite that he manage to almost give pakistan the series victory. ( in last test if he would have a little support from nazir and sami, he could have done it)

I am not saying that tait is the most accurate bowler around. But accuracy is more important when you are slower in pace. For eg:- a half-volley from waqar(in his prime) or tait is harder to hit when compared to any other bowler, its simply because of their slingy round arm action and pace which doesn't give enough time to a batsman to time and place his shots properly.

That's true, but he's far from "the complete one day bowler."

I think on most conditions today in recent odi history only two bowlers are good on basically any sort of surface. They are Nathan Bracken and Shaun Pollock, no matter what the conditions these two blokes have always produced top notch performances.

And quite noticably, neither are the tearaway quick, reverse swinging type bowler you said was the "complete ODI bowler."
