James Anderson because he has been "Tea Boy" for so long, yet he can be a wicket taker in the mould of Andrew Caddick - by that I mean he takes wickets out of the blue, when appearing to be bowling ordinary.

From that list the clear winner is Kasprowicz: few outside of those who actually played with or against him were openly rating him even when he was doing well... and the sheep just followed the vociferous crowing of the truly ignorant when he did, briefly, struggle - he is, by an order of magnitude, a better bowler than virtually all the others on that list (exception: Vettori) and I just hope that he can revive his career enough to be 1st choice for the next Ashes series and that he then emerges as a leading wicket-taker with figures in keeping with the quality of his best bowling.

Well he's picked up a couple today Rach - so who knows, your crazy theory could be right!

if u talk about great bowlers he is never listed mcgrath lee gough always there though. i agree with mcgrath and gough but lee?

Taking into consideration the fact that he is 35, an appearance in the approaching Ashes series seems unlikely.

I don't think Vettori is "underrated" at all; most cricket connoisseurs recognise his worth and give him the status that his talent justifies. So he really does not belong in this list.

I voted for Sami because I think that he is a very promising fast bowler with lots of potential but seems to go off the boil every now and then. What he needs is a regular mentor like Imran Khan who can help him to focus his talents in the right direction.
