McGrath and Murali are easy picks they’re just simply better than the rest.

Wasim id pick and I think most would too. But not as easy a decision.

Third row is the hardest to pick from and there are bowlers in the other rows who are superior.

Probably would go with akhtar though don’t think there’s much difference between them in Odis. I think having the fastest bowler to round off the attack would be cool.
 
Akram
Starc
Malinga
Warne

Felt bad to leave out my favourite Ambrose. Even then its odis and Akram have truly mastered the art of death bowling.
 
McGrath( new ball, middle overs)
Akram( all phases)
Malinga( middle overs, death overs)
Murali( middle overs)
 
Allan Donald, Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, Shane Warne.

Bottom line, Glenn McGrath >>>>> Any other fast/medium fast bowler in history.

A left arm pacer is missing. They are always vital in ODI setup.

Pick one of Donald or Lee. Get the left armer in.
 
Death overs bowling:-

1. Malinga is arguably the greatest death overs bowler.
2. Bumrah is arguably the most economical death overs bowler and probably no.2 to Malinga.
3. Waqar is probably no.3 thanks to his toe crushing yorkers, in death overs.

From the late 70s- 80s, Joel Garner obviously stand out and can be a top 3.

Lee, Donald, Wasim, Starc, Gough were excellent too in death overs.
