#9 Middle overs/death bowler- Joel Garner (Foreigner- West Indies)

Joel Garner sends down an unplayable yorker.

He was part of one of the greatest fast bowling attacks of all time and in ODIs, Joel Garner remained one of the most feared fast bowlers during the late 1970s and 1980s. Known as the 'Big Bird' for his 6 feet 8 inches frame, he was an extremely awkward bowler to face for most batsmen. Most of his deliveries were quick and usually at the batsmen's throats.

On the other hand, he was an absolute demon when it came to death bowling and Garner displayed his prowess in the 1979 World Cup Final when he triggered England's collapse from 183 for 2 to 194 all out in an exhibition of bowling yorkers. In this team, he would be responsible for throttling the batting side in the middle overs and the death.
