Top 5: The World Cup's best bowling performances
105
With ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 already a third of the way through, we have seen some huge totals piled up on batting friendly wickets.
But the batsmen haven’t had it all their own way, with some bowlers thriving in the conditions Down Under.
Here are the top five bowling performances so far at World Cup 2015:
Tim Southee 7-33: New Zealand vs England

In a blockbuster encounter at the Westpac Stadium, it was Tim Southee’s star that shone the brightest with one of the finest displays of swing bowling seen in World Cup history.
After bowling both opening batsmen with unplayable deliveries, Southee looked like he could take a wicket with every ball. He ended up picking up five more and with one over up his sleeve, could have had a Cricket World Cup record eight wickets if it wasn’t for Adam Milne ending the innings.
Jerome Taylor 3-15: West Indies vs Pakistan
 |

In a fearsome fast bowling assault reminiscent of the devastating West Indies pace attack of the 1970s and 1980s, Jerome Taylor tore through the Pakistan top order to leave them with the worst start in ODI history – one run for four wickets! He bowled with pace, aggression and produced significant bounce on a pitch which the Pakistan bowlers struggled to penetrate.
Hammid Hasan 3-45: Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka
 |

With war-paint and a head band, left arm quick Hammid Hasan looked the part – but could he act it?
He proved he could against Sri Lanka with an energetic display which almost yielded a famous win for Afghanistan.
He started with a big one, slipping right through the defence of Kumar Sangakkara before edging out Dimuth Karunaratne.
With the match almost out of reach, Hasan returned to pick up the prize scalp of Mahela Jayawardene.
Mitchell Marsh 5-33: Australia vs England

Chasing 340 to win, England made a positive start until Mitchell Marsh came into bowl and ripped the heart out if its top order.
Bowling in great areas and with decent pace, Marsh kept building pressure until the inevitable mistake came and he cashed in.
In the end he had sent five England batsmen packing, and the opening match went to Australia.
Sohail Khan 5-55: India vs Pakistan
 |

Sohail Khan, playing his first international since September 2011, bowled a brilliant spell in the death overs of the much-anticipated Pakistan-India clash.
In his 5-55, Sohail not only picked up centurion Virat Kohli, but also hard-hitting batsman Suresh Raina and Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Sohail's magic spell helped Pakistan restricting India to 300, but a poor show with the bat by cost Misbah-ul-Haq's side the match by 76 runs.

Death Bowling for Dummies:
Set the traditional field and do not change during the over otherwise batsman will know what’s coming. Element of surprise must be kept!
1) Fast Yorker 140K plus wide outside the off stump
2) Fast bouncer 140K plus wicket to wicket (Cross seam)
3) Slower ball outside off 120K or less
4) Fast bouncer 140K Plus wicket to wicket seam up (2 allowed in an over)
5) Fast Yorker 140K plus wicket to wicket aiming at the stumps
6) Slower ball outside off 120K or less
Mix it up and guaranteed you will be a winner.
You are a professional so keep practicing because that’s your job. If you cannot do it than let some else play for the country.

@A Pakistani
Your analysis of Pak fast balling vs Indian fast balling is about a decade late. We might have been top of the quickies in the 90s but in all honesty Shoaib Akhtar was the last genuinely fearsome fast baller Pakistan has produced. Players like Mohd Asif, Irfan and Juniad Khan etc are good, but they aren't head turners like Wasim, Waqar and Imran were. I would consider them in the same league as Indian quickies like Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan and Ashish Nehra and even the two new guys Yadav and Shami. They're good, but neither is a Dale Steyn

@sadiq ----" analysis of Pak fast balling vs Indian fast balling is about a decade late."
Since 2000 Pakistan played 49 matches with India. Won 25 lost 24.(Including WC 2015 match). Out of 25 wins Pakistan won 22 matches abroad while only 3 matches at Home ground ....Out of 24 wins India won 17 matches abroad and 7 matches at Home ground.
Given the fact that Pakistan never played any international match on its home ground in last 6 years... so we have include stats from 2000. While India's record outside home ground is known to everyone.

@A Pakistani - The truth of the matter is Pakistan cricket is on continuous decline. If you look at the last 10 years, India has won more ODI matches. If you keep harping about 72 ODI victories, be in your small world. The number reflects majority of Pak wins in Sharjah during 90's and there is a reason why India decided to not play Pak in sharjah.

@A Pakistani Since when did "talk about present" become "talk about last 68 years"? And why bowling fast is important. Kapil Dev was the highest wicket taker for a while, so was Anil Kumble. What matters is skill and their commitment. By your argument - WI will forever be the best team - ever (no other team had better batsman Viv Richards, Brian Lara to name a few)

The cricket debate about potentials of Sub continent teams is not new.
Historically, Indians produce better batsmen and Pakistan produce better fast bowlers.
Though, there are few exceptions (Kapil Dev and Javed Miandad). Besides, SriLanka is the best fielding side in subcontinent and Bangladesh has the best spectators. Bangladesh stadia is full in every match they play, even when their team is consistently losing those matches.
Its just the love of the game, Cricket, which keeps us communicating with each other. A game which is more than a sport in this part of the world.

@sadiq I guess the most dangerous bowler produced by Pakistan was Wasim Akram, because he was an extremely thinking and intelligent bowler who could think and experiment on his feat. In the earlier era there was Sarfraz Nawaz who on his day could be deadly. Waquar was in the mould of a traditional pacer who would bowl in rhythm and could be very effective on pitches that provided some movement. Shoaib Akhtar was all pace and not very effective on flat pitches.

@A Pakistani everytime India beats Pakistan, some Pakistani like you will start the old topic about overall one day records (that 72 wins vs 51 etc.). Actually 72 v 51 is not too bad. Some years ago it was more like 70 v 40 since then India is catching up. Agreed that Pak has an overall better record, but that is partly due to the fact that Pak beat India many times in Sharjah before the time of neutral umpires (you can guess what I am saying).

@Guru jee . :):):):) As you all in the state of DENIAL. For the fact that Pak beat India many times in Sharjah.... Here you go. Total matches played in Sharjah 24. Pakistan won 18 lost 6... If you exclude these stats then Pakistan won 54 India won 45...Now you are denying 72-51(overall), 25-24(from 2000-2015) 18-6(sharjah)... I know it include last 25 years but your 6 world cup wins also include 23 years.......BTW these are stats and facts... not a computer program where you can apply conditions... :P.
(you can guess what I am saying). :P

Shapoor Zadran's 4 for 38 against Scotland yesterday didn't make this article, which was written a day earlier. Nevertheless, Shapoor Zadran's efforts with the ball and his 10th wicket partnership with fellow pacer Hamid Hassan secured the win for Afghanistan. He won the game in style by hitting a boundary. Shapoor Zadran's total effort outshines all the bowlers mentioned in this article.

To be fair, it should be Mohammad Shami at 5th as published by ICC.
