Bracken is a swing bowler if you look at his ODI international season in 2006 with the ball you would see that pace is not as important as his accuracy movement and brains. In my opinion he was the best ODI bowler in the world in 2006. In 23 matches he took 46 wickets at 18.82 with a strike rate of 25.3.

I don't like Clark in ODI's but he is a brilliant test bowler, McGrath is the most accurate bowler in the world and if you want six yorkers in an over he will bowl five of the six right in the block hole, he no longer gets the new ball but his 2006 was not his best with wickets but he was still able to take 15 wickets at 26.00 from 11 matches.
