Who is the best bowler in International Cricket?

Answer 1

Talking about bowlers, its definitely Wasim Akram with 502 wickets in Tests and 414 in Tests, he is a legend and master of swing bowling. HE is known as "King of Swing". He can swing the ball in any direction. Sometimes he swinged the ball in both direction in one delivery. He is also known as "Toe Crusher" with deadly and accurate yorkers.

Answer 2

Muttiah Muralitharan (born April 17, 1972 in Kandy), often referred to simply as Murali, is a Sri Lankan cricketer. A hugely successful off spin bowler, he is generally recognised as the greatest Sri Lankan player and the greatest off spinner in cricket history. Since his international debut in 1992 he has enjoyed more success than any other spinner except Shane Warne and has become one of the most acclaimed cricketers of the modern age. However, he has been dogged by controversy over the legality of his unorthodox bowling action.

Statistically, there is no doubt that he is one of the most effective bowlers ever to play cricket in both international forms of the game (Test and One-day Internationals), having taken 600 Test wickets and over 400 ODI wickets. Currently his Test average is just 22.5, which compares favourably to other contemporary spin bowlers: Shane Warne's bowling average is 25.2, Anil Kumble's 28.8 and fellow off-spinner Harbhajan Singh's 29.5.

In 2002, Wisden named him the greatest bowler of all time. In May 2004, in Zimbabwe, he overtook West Indian Courtney Walsh's record of 519 Test match wickets to become the highest-wicket taker of all time. Warne, an Australian leg-spinner, is his only current rival for that record; indeed he overtook Muralitharan's number of wickets in late 2004. Warne believes that the younger Muralitharan will eventually be the one to finish with the record, saying he believes that Muralitharan will take "1000 wickets" (in truth an unlikely achievement) before he retires.

Muralitharan's unorthodox bowling action begins with a unique "flapping wings" run-up, complete with bulging eyes, and culminates with an extremely wristy delivery which, he claims, often had him mistaken for a leg spinner early in his career. He generates a prodigious amount of turn, in addition to the flighting of the ball that is very hard for a batsman to play at. Aside from his off break, he also a bowls a fast topspinner which goes straight on, and his own interpretation of Saqlain Mushtaq's controversial doosra delivery, which turns from leg to off.

Murali became politically active in 2004, becoming an ambassador for the United Nations World Food Program, and joining an anti-poverty campaign. He said he was "lucky to be alive" after narrowly missing the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake by just 20 minutes [1]. One week later, he was reported [2] to be helping distribute food to victims of the tsunami.

He is one of two Tamils in the Sri Lankan cricket team (the other being Russel Arnold [3]). Muralitharan married an Indian woman, Mathimalar Ramamurthy, in 2005 [4].
