1 . Malcom Marshall (West Indies)
A metaphor in the history of international cricket, this manipulative master player of 5 feet 11 inch was brushed up with the deadly specifications of swing and bounce. With supreme excellence and clear cut brutality in his bowling, Marshall was the centralized figure in the company of contemporary fast bowlers and also the most significant pacer during the dominant period of West Indies cricket team.
2. Dennis Lillee (Australia)
The top bloke in the chronicle of Australian cricket team with ferocious actions, Lillee was well known for his ‘never-say-die’ attitude on the field. What made him so famous, was his returning to international cricket after suffering from critical injuries and stress fractures in his back. With foxiness and varieties in his mixed pace, he is considered as an epitome among fast bowlers.
3. Wasim Akram (Pakistan)
With an incredible ability to bowl six different bowls in an over, this master of swing along with deceptive bowling skills (Akram’s hallmark) is one of the most inspirational object for fast bowlers. Famous for his toe-crushing yorkers and coupled with quick arm action and firm shoulders, Akram is still the single bowler in cricket history to change the speed of ball dramatically, without an observable change in action. A lethal bowler in classic sense!!
4. Richard Hadlee (New Zealand)
Knighted in 1990 for his incredible contribution to cricket, Sir Richard Hadlee is the man who nurtured the cricket team of New Zealand. Extremely dangerous and thirsty of wickets, his side-on action as well as classical run-up with subtler skills, marks him as one of the most intelligent bowler in cricket history.
5.. Courtney Walsh (West Indies)
Bowlers of West Indies are better known for terrorizing and troubling batsmen with their fatal speed and phenomenal steep bounce. No doubt, Walsh is the dominating member of deadly bowlers from this country. Considered as one of the most unmanageable bowler to score runs against, this giant of 6 feet 6 inch with match-winning performances, constituted the ability to whack up wickets on any surface.
