[ShahidAfridi]

South Africia + Imran Tahir is the best England + Pakistan are next The rest make up the numbers Depends on Asif+Amir tbh

[jusarrived]

most of them looks pretty mediocre to be honest ...England looks the most balanced, cos of Swann but likey every other attack they too will struggle on flat pitches .

[Sid]

Ya I agree all the bowling attacks look mediocre specially on flat wickets but Swann gives England the edge over other bowling attacks IMO,making England the most balanced attack ATM

[hari504504]

England for me too. Good balance of everything. All the other sides miss one thing or the other - either lack of a good seamer or lack of a good spinner...

My rating: SA(8.0) > Eng=Ind=Aus(7.5) > Pakis(6.5) > SL (6.0) > NZ (5.9) > WI (5.7)

My rating: SA(8.0) > Eng=Ind=Aus(7.5) > Pakis(6.5) > SL (6.0) > NZ (5.9) > WI (5.7)

Why would you say SA is most balanced?

Why would you say SA is most balanced?

can I remind you that you can not be No.1 without a world class bowling attack?

[vaibhav_delhi]

Sa edges out other teams' bowling because of Steyn factor imo.

sorry but we dont have a world class bowling attack that creates shivers in the opposition,we just have a good bowling attack which is conditions dependent like most other bowling attacks ATM in test cricket

[hari504504]

can I remind you that you can not be No.1 without a world class bowling attack?

Infact I consider it a superhuman feat to become World No.1 with just one stand-out bowler.

[Sid]

Sa edges out other teams' bowling because of Steyn factor imo.

but how does steyn makes SA bowling attack balanced?

[hari504504]

Sa edges out other teams' bowling because of Steyn factor imo.

Close call between Eng and SA because of the Steyn factor. But IMO you can't call an attack balanced without a proper spinner. Swann>> Harris,Botha

lol, No bowling lineup creates shivers these days in the age of helmets, L-guards etc. Indiian bowling has been effective every where. They have won test matches every where. I think you are basing your judgement only on performances on flat tracks in recent times.

Mc.Grath,Gillespie,Lee(young),Warne Shivers doesn't mean a fear for life.. it means a bowling line-up that can defend a tiny total when batting fails We're number one because our batting is so damn awesome...we pile mountains of runs in the first innings.. and we are capable of chasing any total. So our batting 'creates shivers'... Our bowlers are mostly an after-thought (exceptions ofcourse)

So you mean winning one test match in each country confirms that the team has a world class bowling attack

The quality of cricket is so bad... they are so rubbish compared to the bowlers in 90s (other than india) indian bowling is slightly better now.
