Top 5 pacers of the world!

[bryce]

yeah i still remember him knocking over the aussies though

 

[Sudeep]

Harmison has 102 Test Wickets @ 24.73 including 4 five-fors.
Pathan has 21 @ 41.19 including no five-fors.

I think that answers your question.

Forgot myself that this discussion is more regarding to Test cricket than ODI.

Anyway, as I said, I'd prefer to bowl Harmison ahead of Pathan.

 

[Mecnun]

McGrath
Gillespie
Akhtar
Harmison
Vass

I really don't think either Z Khan or I Pathan would be there.

Definitely not.

 

[marc71178]

Pathan rules!! ever since he had started his career, Pathan has been doing extremely well. PPl try to underestimate him probably coz he's an Indian and there is a general impression that India doesn't produce good fast bowler, but i think this guy will be the number one bowler of the world in a year or two.

In a year or 2, most of the current bowlers will still be around.

Irfan might not have great stats, but he's a proven match winner and deserve to be in the top 5 list.

How many matches has he won?

 

[Pinkline Jones]

You people are way off the mark:

I'd go:

Maori's Idol (ok he was a trotter but how can you leave him out)
Pure Steel
Cardigan Bay
Bret Hanover
Niatross

 

[Pinkline Jones]

And of course Popular Alm
Paleface Adios
Rip Van Winkle
Gammalite

 

[NikhilN]

McGrath
Pathan
Harmison
Akthar
Sami

Yep Jonesy, Maori's Idol - what a horse! Wasnt he the first trotter to win a grand circut race against the pacers? Unbelievable feat that.

My favourite harness racer ever would have to be Excella Lord though. Never forget that night in crown when i smashed it in from $3.90 to $1.50 on the tote. Granted there was only 2000 in the pool before i got on but my what a thrill to see what all my cash did to the pool.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about pacers still active - and I've only recently come to the racing game in the last five years.

If we are moving to trotters, have you guys seen much of Lyell Creek?
