This is such a milestone, but I wonder when it comes to rating the best quickee currently playing, people call Steyn as the only genuine classy fast bowler in whole cricket scene. Most of us don't even mention Malinga's name when we name our current best eleven despite of a consistently good show by this lad.
Is it because he has that different sort of bowling action. His action is no doubt pretty clear and there isn't any sort of chucking in any way. To me, he seems to be a nice humble figure as well, most of the times carries a smile on his face, but may be his bowling action doesn't please the viewer's eyes as that of Steyn, and what used to be of Wasim, Waqar and other legends of their times.
Whats your say about this one.

Actually Murdoch, I have just been on cricinfo and there are a quite a few with better averages and a few with better s/rates.
Still mighty effective though

I would ask how many of those with great averages have regularly bowled at the death, which is his great strength. I'd love to have him in the England side.
Shame for SL that he can't play tests.

Yes, great bowler at the death.
Garner was awesome as well. Both had a great yorker which must be the best ball to bowl when batsmen are trying to score big.

He's a chucker! Thats why he doesn't get a mention. Ridiculas action.

just because he has an unorthodox action doesn't make him a chucker
i think you needs to check the rules to see what "chucking" actually means

Definitely not a chucker.
I think it is because of his ridiculous hair style.

I have taken a look, he is a chucker, taught by Murali.
