Colin Blythe. 100 wickets in 19 tests. S/R: 45.4

Blythe -- good pluck that one.

Knew all about Barnes and was very confident on Lohmann.

No idea on him though. Will have to check up on him for his story.

I'll start it off but i can't name all of them:

Waqar Younis
Shoaib Akhtar
Joel Garner
Michael Holding
Fred Trueman
Colin Croft
Malcolm Marshall
Sid Barnes
Richard Hadlee
Alan Donald

I think they all were better than 51.2.

I think Shane Bond would be far better than 51.2 but i don't think he's taken 100 wickets yet

What don't ya like spinners all that much Rod

Still holds the record for the most first class wickets in one day, following 10/30 (including taking 7 for 1 in a space of 36 balls) with 7/18
