Pacers: Dennis Lillee and James Anderson
Dennis Lillee is often considered as the man who has defined fast bowling. He was a phenomenal bowler who had the ability to disturb the opposition batsmen just by his mere presence on the field.
Dennis Lillee had a career in which he was successful both as a tearaway fast bowler as well as a disciplined bowler who would bowl day in and day out. He was forced into becoming the disciplined bowler after few career-threatening injuries but the way he adapted to that made sure that he finds his name on any All time XI in Tests.
Lillee scalped 5 wickets for 84 runs in his debut Test innings.
James Anderson is by far the best fast bowler England had ever produced and he is also the highest wicket-taker in the history of Test cricket among the pacers. Anderson's swing is his biggest weapon and he has foxed a number of batsmen with his accurate swing bowling.
Anderson returned with figures of 5-73 in his debut Test innings.
