Is Sidebottom the best fast bowler in world alongwith Steyn?

How good is Sidebottom?

Is Clark not even a contender?

I'd go with Steyn, Clark, Sidebottom, and Lee in that order at the moment.

SiBo has been bowling in very seamer friendly conditions.

As far as I remember Clark has mostly got flat decks to bowl on atleast during current season.

Except for in Sri Lanka where he bowled beautifully and should have had a stack load of wickets if it wasn't for so many dropped catches off his bowling.

Stuart Clark.

Red, the queen of the knee jerk reaction.

I really don't know why batsmen don't stand 2 feet out of their crease when facing Clark. Fine bowler and all, but he's a bit of a trundler.

phurt - it just makes it further back to the sheds.

And when SRT tried that, Gilly stood up to the wicket . . . end result . . . SRT gawwwwnnn!

No.

But he's a decent left arm swing bowler. Always handy for any attack.

much rather he was part of an attack rather than leading it at the moment

Sidearse was outbowled at Old Trafford by Jimmy Anderson - so Jimmy Anderson must be the best bowler in the world.

Personally I think he must be getting there... he's always a threat.

Got to do it against the better sides too, will be the argument levelled against him.

Incredibly unlucky against SL with all the drops, and better against India than his figures suggest (he as good as nearly won us the 1st test) I guess the SA series will tell us more.
