Cummins is hard to say says he has consistently bowled throughout his career. He was pretty terrific in SA in 2018.without a key spell though.Dont know about others but for wasim rate his series vs new Zealand in 94 as his peak imo. Lost captaincy but bowled like a tiger. Also rate vs wi in 2000
Cummins - his best match is ten for vs Pakistan @g where he singlehandedly won the game but best he bowled was 20/21 bgt unplayble imo
Yeah that would be my vote too given the quality of opposition..
His 7 fer against the Windies in 81/82 when he bowled Viv off the last ball and went past the record was right up there too. That was an underated series tbh - Aus led it 1-0 going into the last test at Adelaide, where they chased 240 odd five down to win it.
I think for Wasim it's hard for me to go past his Sydney test in 1990. But he also had a killer spell late career in WI in 2000.Dont know about others but for wasim rate his series vs new Zealand in 94 as his peak imo. Lost captaincy but bowled like a tiger. Also rate vs wi in 2000

Yeah he was capable of great spells on his dayBroad may not be rated as highly as the ATGs mentioned in the OP but, as Northerner pointed out, his 8-15 was something special.
