Couldn't get my temptation off this thread, blame it on the maniac monday! ;-)

I do not know what "modern era" includes the period of time, but certainly have enjoyed a handful of bowlers of my time.

The ever flamboyant Akram - Oh boy! where does he get reverse swings from?
McGrath - Talk about his line and length. Even the Master blaster takes the back seat.
Murali - A nightmare to batsmen.

Not to mention, Ambrose, Walsh and Warne - without them there is no fierce in the bowling department.

no_quiero - You have interestingly laid down your rating.

Hello to long lost "bhow-bhow-ing" friend. Hope all is well.
