Which bowler is the king of jaffas?

Contrary to the popular opinion here, I don't see Wasim and Waqar as jaffa kings since they were known for lbws and bowleds. Also Akram's length was relatively fuller to be considered a jaffa.

Courtney Walsh may have bowled many such spells for sure:

What does length have to do with a jaffa? Jaffa just means unplayable

Majority of jaffas get the batsman beaten outside off stump for pace or movement, the lengths here tend to be neither too short nor too full. Pakistani bowlers typically bowl very full lengths and attack the stumps.

And how does that mean full length deliveries are excluded from being Jaffas?

Thus Yorkers cannot be jaffas?

Jaffas pretty meaningless unless they actually take wickets. May as well create a thread called King of the wickets taken off no balls.
