WHich is the world's best bowling attack today: Time out with Harsha Bhogle

^ If bowling ALONE could win you all the games, what are the batsmen playing in the team for? Success follows when one department compliments the other.

They haven't disucces the WI attack, which has lots of potential and is probably the most talented of them all. Edwards Taylor Roach

Would be good but these three are unlikely to play together, infact WI will be lucky for 2 to be playing together.

Lol sure Aussie attack will be good on Indian pitches :phehehe:

Achilles - I think I have written a post somewhere here about my thoughts on why Ishant has become what he is now. The day he started trying out the leg cutter regularly he skimped on his regular incoming delivery. And he was never the same again.

Even if they do play together, the biggest question mark over them is, would they be fully committed?

Hmm. I have tried my hand at a possible wake-up call for Ishant through this article I wrote during the WT20s - World T20 selections - The Biggest Loser Some things have changed since then but there's no doubt that the spark in him is missing. I think your observation might be right.

No teams have best bowling attack in any format now. Every team required at least one more good bowler. 1.After McGrath's retirement Aussies never find another like him 2.South Africa also doesn't have perfect bowling combination. But Styen is a top bowler. 3.Kiwis.......No good replacement to Bond 4.England team don't have right combination........even they have bowling resources. 5.India need to find perfect partner to Zaheer. 6.SriLanka has Malinga.......but no one believes his performance. Kulasekara need to increase pace to improve himself 7.Pakistan bowling attack don't have consistency....They too have so many resources. 8.West Indies don't have a bowler to lead their bowling attack. In present scenario South Africa looking better than other teams in bowling.

I agree to the fact that India's attack sucks right now and that is largely because of the absence of zaheer and the indifferent form of harbhajan. But one thing that we need to consider is that these are our 2 strike bowlers and in the current scenario our attack would suffer. Now imagine an SA attack without Dale Steyn and Morkel, I don't think even they have the resources to replace them. I don't think any team has any kind of a distinct advantage in terms of the bowling line up these days. Part of the problem with most of the teams ,apart from Pakistan and England to an extent, is the absence of a good backup for the regular bowlers.
