And Kallis as my last guess. He hasn't got a 10 for as far as I remember and I just read the recent piece comparing his stats with Botham and Sobers.
He's got more runs than both now, 200 wickets and a lot of catches.
Pity he averages about 25 less against Australian than he does when he cashes in against every other country.
Roger Woodcock -- 602 goals from a forward flank makes you a legend.

Quite amazing that some of the best bowlers of all time have never taken 10 in a match. I guess in part it shows most of them played in sides who had an even spread of very good bowlers ie. Garner.

A guy like Murali (whilst a superb bowler in his own right) hasn't had guys taking wickets from him and he has had to do a hell of a lot of bowling.
