Top 10 bowlers of the ICC Cricket World Cups (before ICC 2007)
By Tushar Trivedi
Wasim Akram, the finest left arm fast bowler of all time according to Sir Don Bradman, has more wickets than anybody else in ICC Cricket World Cup history. Akram took 55 wickets in 38 matches at an economy rate of just over four an over to head the top 10.
Though speedsters dominate the list -- and hold the top six spots -- Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralidaran and Anil Kumble have destroyed the myth that spinners have only a peripheral place in limited-overs cricket.
Warne, who has admitted to not being particularly fond of limited-overs cricket, has proved to be very useful to Australia not only in an attacking, wicket-taking role, as might be expected of a classical leg-spinner, but by also maintaining an excellent economy rate.
At a time when a bowler's economy ratio is said to be decent if he gives away less than five runs an over, Warne has an economy rate of 3.83.
He is joined by Aussie pace spearhead McGrath, whose 45 wickets were picked up giving away 3.82 runs an over, astonishing in the modern era when scores of 250 plus are the norm and those over 300 regularly posted.
Muralidaran, the off spinner with the finest record in Test cricket, also shines in limited-overs cricket. In 21 matches, he has picked up 30 wickets giving away an average of only 3.69 runs an over - the lowest of any bowler save England's Ian Botham. In 22 matches, Beefy got 30 wickets at an economy rate of 3.43 an over.

S.,L. Malinga of Sri Lanka and G.D. Mc Grath of Australia have taken most wickets in the Cricket World Cup 2007. Both of them have taken 15 wickets each from 6 matches.
However, if you want to know who has taken most wickets in the history of world cup, G.D. Mc Grath with the tally of 60 wickets from 34 matches holds the records for most wickets in the world cup history till now.
