Because there are still doubts over whether or not he is bowling correctly.

Lawsons action at times still doesnt look brilliant. If the Windies are keeping him out of thier team because of that i applaud them, if all teams did that throwing could easily eradicated.

In Lawsons case I cant believe he was allowed to bowl for so long with a blantently suspect action. From the footage from the last world cup it was obvious he was throwing it but nothing was done.

Anyway, back on topic, for consistancy Collymore is probably the best. The likes of Tino Best may be quicker but they have a terrible record of taking wickets.

Ian Bradshaw. No contest.

Much of their success in the past couple of years comes down to his intelligent, workman-like swing bowling. Very underrated , he tends to slip under the radar a little because he isnt a ferocious express bowler like many of his peers, but he is an essential cog in the wheel.

As pie_chucker said, Collymore is up there too, i'd give him second best. Taylor has promise but must deliver more frequently.

Bradshaw only in ODI cricket....

As a Test bowler, he doesn't have the tools needed to take wickets.

Yeah good point. I only took ODI's into account for reasons unknown..
