I actually interpreted inconsistent as meaning a bowler who sprays the ball over the place, as opposed to one who has followed brilliance with mediocrity over the course of a career.

In terms of spraying the ball all over the place, I think Andre Adams and Andy Blignaut are good candidates. Adams must be the only player I've seen manage two double bouncing deliveries in international matches in the course of one season, plus manage a beamer and a double bouncer in the course of one match.
They're bad, but they're not as bad as K Eric Upashantha!

Brett Lee is very consistent - consistently very poor..
!!! What are you on? !!! I admit he can be over rated by many, but he isnt a "Very Poor" international cricketer.. There is no argument whatsoever for Lee being "Very Poor"

sorry mate,but i have to say Ajit Agarkar is the most inconsistent bowler in the world...this mantle was previously held by makhaya ntini, but he has now proved to be fairly consistent... agarkar on his day can take 6 wickets easily...but when he's not playing his best, he gets clubbed for 90 runs of 10 overs....i think with agarkar,it all depneds on the conditions..if the ball is swinging and seaming,he's good...otherwise he gets clubbed
Isnt that blasphemy or something similar????:O :lol:
Will not the AAAS take action against such utterings?

Brett Lee in Tests >2001: ave 38.41, econ 3.72-an-over, SR 61.9.
Not very poor, but very poor by the standards most non-Australians assume he achieves.
He is still mentioned, by supposedly knowledgable pundits, in the same breath as McGrath and Gillepsie. Out of hand, without otherwise thought.
