There are many ways to get a wicket:
1) Help from the umpire-LBW (Shane Warne gets his wickets mostly in the form of LBW's, bat and pad, dubios decisions and watching extras
2) help from wicket keeper-catch, stumping, run out
3) Help from other fielders-catch, run out
4) Help from Batsman himself-handling the ball, caught and bowled, hit wicket,
Clean bowled is the only type where the bowler must be given complete credit-So name the bowler who has taken most of his wickets in this manner.

The leader is someone that no-one will have heard of I'm sure. He is a man called Thomas Richardson who played 14 matches for England between 1893 and 1898 taking a total of 88 wickets of which 54 (61.36%) were clean bowled.
Your theory about Shane Warne is not supported by the stats - in fact Warney does not appear in the top 30 bowlers who won wickets by LBW decisions. Top of this list is Australia's Terry Alderman with 34.12%.
Paul Wiseman (NZ) heads the list for caught dismissals (68.85%), Mudassar Nazar for caught behind dismissals (36.36%) and Nasim-Ul-Ghani of Pakistan for stumped dismissals off his bowling (19.23%).
Nice question by the way - even if I don't share your opinion of Shane Warne.

I don't think the question is clearly worded.
If a bowler has taken only one wicket in his test career and that was bowled, the %ge is 100%.
Let's assume 50 wickets as a minimum criteria: Then Thomas Richardson of England had 54 bowled out of 88 wickets- a whopping percentage of 61%.
I have no clue if "1 wicket" was the minimum critera, who or how many people would be on the list.
Also, this must be for "clean bowleds". I am not entirely sure on what constitutes an "unclean bowled". But I am certain the award would go to Muralitharan on that count.

Muralidharan tops this list with 147 of 657 in this fashion. I suppose your question means number of wickets too and not just %. It is if mere percentages then some on who played one test and just got one wicket which the batsmen was out bowled woul dhave 100% success and that may not reflect the true efficiency of the bowler as suggested in your questions.

According to cricinfo the top 3 are:
1. Muralitharan with 147 out of 657 = 22.3%
2. Warne with 111 out of 685 = 16%
3. Trueman 103 out of 307 = 33.5%
They must put Trueman in 3rd due to the fact that he only took 307 wickets in his career even though his % is higher than Murali and Warne.

I think New Zealand because of their very bad result of test cricket. Recently England has defeated New Zealand very badly also their performance not like good now. So, I think New Zealand is the most under rated test cricket team in the world or I think South Africa is the most powerful test cricket team in the world.

I think its SHANE WARNE.
He take wickets mostly bowled, before lbw.
HE is my fav. Cricketer.
I bowl 95% like Shane warne & I take mostly wickets in bowled order.
