Best bowler these days.......

When we look at bowlers who can bowl good line and length the foremost that come to mind are Glenn Mcgrath and Shaun Pollock. These two bowlers may have gone beyond their prime but their second best is still good enough for most batsmen.

The other bowlers who could make an surprise impact, dark horses if I could call them that would be Mohammed Asif of Pakistan, Shane Bond of NewZealand(as amitnsitian had mentioned), Andrew Symonds of Australia and Makhaya Ntini of SA.

andrew symonds kaha see aa gaya ......and abt warne being in the poll very unlikely hell be back2 play ODI but sure hope he does come back..

from indias side i do feel Munaf will make a diff ....pathan will struggle is windies cos the bowl aint gonna swing much and he aint getting ne quicker..

Mohammed Asif has the ability to bowl well on west indies pitches and about Ntini or Symonds u can never predict these two bowlers. Shane bnd is always great mood in world cup as tendulkar is....


Abt brett lee now days he become a little bit consistent but its still a long way to go to WC and maintain this ability for him.

Since the world cup is being held in West Indies, its gonna be really difficult deciding on one particular bowler who would rock the world cup. It could be a spinner, it could be a pacer.

On current form, Shreesanth is doing really well for the Indian team.
In world cricket, Nitini is on top form.

Rohit,
Plz add KUMBLE in the poll...........

Here are my men. ( pretty difficult to single out a particular bowler )

Shane Bond shud be the pick of the lot for this WC. Though he has been plagued by injuries, he still is a threat to any batsman. Cant really remember when a batsman had actually dominated him. With sheer speed & swing he will definitely hav a say during the WC, especially on the flat tracks in WI.

Mohammad Asif of Pak seems to be a bright prospect. His debut series against India was a blinder of an opening, though he was playing at home. After a stunning performance in the tests he had economical outings in almost all the ODIs.

Brett Lee is another bowler to watch out. Though not at his best in the recent past, he has the capability of running thro any batting line up with sheer speed. He is the main bowler for Australia especially when McGrath is sidelined for personal reasons. ( But i think McGrath will be returning to team well on time for the WC)

Pollock & Murali, as usual, are going to be the most economical bowlers in the WC.
( Murali's 10-0-99-0 shud be considered as a once in a bluemoon event and shud not be given that much importance. )

Harmison/Flintoff/Jones, for England, are all capable of turning the tide in their favour.

Well for India, i dont think any bowler is going to be that devastating for the other teams to worry about. Kumble can be the man, if picked for the WC. I dont know why the hell he is not finding a place in the ODI side, especially when Bhajji is not performing.

Hi i strongly feel that the next World Cup belongs to England...yeah the Barmy Army..

so the bowlers who will rock the next world cup are gonna be from England....there is not a single one in the list uve provided....i think it shud be revised...
Harmison/Jones... anyone can rock.

India's dependable will be Kumble....the bouncy wickets of WI fill favour him more than our useless medium pacers
