The five greatest Test fast bowlers of the 21st Century

[Unbiased-Fan]

Who are your top 5 pacers played in 21th century?


Mine in no particular order:

Dale Steyn
Glenn McGrath
James Anderson
Jasprit Bumrah
Patrick Cummins


Dale Steyn is best test pacer i have ever seen.
Glenn McGrath is definition of consistency.
James Anderson is in the list for his unreal longevity.
Bumrah has brilliantly performed everywhere in the world.
Pat Cummins is on his way to be another Mcgrath.


Other notable pacers who performed great in this century,

1. Kagiso Rabada
2. Stuart Broad
3. Josh Hazlewood
4. Mitchell Johnson
5. Trent Boult
6. Tim Southee
7. Shaun Pollock
8. Mkhaya Ntini
9. Vernon Philander
10. Mitch Starc
11. Neil Wagner
12. Morne Morkel
13. Zaheer Khan
14. Mohd Shami
15. Ishant Sharma
16. Chaminda Vaas
17. Mohd Asif
18. Shoaib Akhtar
19. Kemar Roach
20. Shane Bond

Thoughts?

2. Shoaib Akhtar
3. Shane Bond

[Mesozoic]

1. James Anderson
2. Shoaib Akhtar
3. Shane Bond
4. Mohammad Asif
5. Mohammad Aamir

Shane Bond is way overrated. Barely had 2-3 good series.

You should have gone with Tanvir Ahmed.

Also Anderson was average outside of England for most part. I would have Hassan Ali in his place there.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

1. James Anderson
2. Shoaib Akhtar
3. Shane Bond
4. Mohammad Asif
5. Mohammad Aamir

One true great, a fastball sprayer whose long overs led to penalties for the team, a forever injured Maestro truly what if, two convicted cheats with one of them with drug problems too.

What a list sir!!!

Can't really disagree, very reasonable!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Mcgrath.
Anderson.
Steyn.
Rabada.
Bumrah.

Not in any particular order.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Wasim Akram
Anderson
Mcgrath
Dale Steyn
Ambrose

 

[Buffet]

Wasim Akram
Anderson
Mcgrath
Dale Steyn
Ambrose

Wasim has 5 wickets and Ambrose retired before 21st century began.

Here is list , who can qualify for 21st century with 100+ away and 150+ plus all wickets with avg of 26 or below.

Over all with avg of 26 or below with 150+ wickets.






Away from home with avg of 26 or below with 100+ wickets.

 

[Buffet]

I think 4 bowlers are just locked and no one comes close to them in 21st century.

Bumrah
Mcgrath
Steyn
Cummins
-----
Rabada

I think Rabada has done enough to get ahead of other pacers. I mainly judge pacers based on away performaces and Rabada has not been that great in Asia, but over all better than others in away venues.

 

[sweep_shot]

McGrath
Steyn
Broad
Anderson
Cummins.

Didn't add Wasim because he didn't play many Tests in 21st century.
