which fast bowler has/had the most beautiful bowling action??

Brett Lee, Mitchell Starc, Alan Mulally, Alan Donald, Waqar Younis, Zaheer Khan

 

Mulally had a beautiful action, but is a lesser known bowler. He and Starc have the most rhythmic action for left arm seamers. Starc’s action is an upgraded and quicker version of Mulally

As expected by me Bonds action is a hot favorite so far, what a legend, sad was loss to international cricket!:bebored:

Absolutely. Smoothest of actions you ever get to see. Almost effortless.. and top it up with that heroic surname.

My list with some of the best bowling actions

Shane Bond

Lance Klucener - My personal favorite whom I was in awe of. 

Brett Lee

Andrew Bichel - Top class when in full motion. 

Morne Morkel

Dale Steyn

Alan Donald 

James Anderson

Ryan Harris 

Michael Holding - Running in hard and then that poetry action. Class above many.

I always felt Allan Donald had probably the smoothest action among all bowlers... lovely flowing action that resulted in him bowling at a very good pace and was also able to swing the ball appreciably. Just wonderful to watch.

it was probably the first cricket series i watched and i  saw him bowl,it was like he used to take aim and shoot,rather than bowl :cantstop:, copied his action a lot during childhood

1 - Kapil Dev - he may not have been the world's best fast bowler, but his action was poetry in motion

2 - Waqar Younis - Absolute beauty. Bowlers like Darren Gough copied his action later, but Waqar was one of his kind.

3-  Allan Donald 

4 - Dale Steyn

5- Umesh Yadav 

etc etc etc

Gough was nowhere close to waqar in terms of action.
