Quartet of most accurate pace bowlers

1.Glen Mcgrath
2.Richard Hadlee
3.Joel Garner
4.Curtly Ambrose


In my list of express fast bowlers I have excluded Shoaib Akhtar,Jeff Thomson or Sylvester Clarke as although the quickest electronically they were not in the class of Waqar,Imran,Donald and Holding who for sustained periods were also express fast.

In the list of most accurate I have listed those who were mnot express pace but some who were genuinely fast at their best like Ambrose and Garner and others who were posesed supreme degree of control and intelligence like Hadlee and Mcgrath.

I would by margin of a whisker choose the quartet of express pace bowlers as they also posessed variations of their own kind.On a flat track I would back the speedsters while on bad wicket with uneven bounce I may back the quartet of most accurate pace bowlers.

Even if overall the best I excluded Marshall and Wasim as to me they were not electronically express pace even if very fast.
