Who has/had the best Yorker?

03-01-2013, 05:47 PM

For mine Brett Lee was very good, but Starc is shaping up nicely with his. He has taken about half a dozen bowled in three matches.

The Rawalpindi Express, when he was on his Yorkers were unplayable.

I'll add Jeff Thompson and Joel Garner to the discussion but Akram and Waqar Younis were excellent

Didn't Steve Waugh have a pretty decent one at ODI level.

Wasn't thinking of international players, but you are dead on for sure.

Agree on the Joel Garner call. Never saw him bowl but having met the man it must've been ridiculous. Biggest human being I've ever seen, gives truth to the saying built like a tree trunk

The delivery at 9.50 is as perfect as you will get. Latham looks bewildered as he watches his middle stump flat on the grass. Stump cam broken.

Malinga has ten wickets in the bbl with Yorkers. A late entrant.

Really? Might explain why Starc has a ripping Yorker.
