Best Cricket Bowlers of All Time

Batsmen are crowd favorites in cricket, but bowlers win Test matches. It doesn't matter how many runs batsmen score. If bowlers fail to bag 20 wickets, the game will end in a draw.

In the limited-overs formats (ODIs and T20Is), teams win based on how many runs they score. Although picking up wickets can change a game, bowlers who contain batsmen by preventing the run flow also come in handy.

Nowadays, the game favors batsmen since pitches are more batting-friendly and bats have become bigger. Still, the best bowlers find a way. They introduce new deliveries and vary the pace or bowl jaw-dropping yorkers and bouncers.

These are the best match-winners with the ball in cricket history.
