Top 5 Australian left-arm fast bowling greats

#3 Bruce Reid

The tall and fierce left-arm pacer Bruce Reid, made his debut alongside Merv Hughes and Geoff Marsh in 1985-86 when Australia were at a low and is famously remembered for his splendid performance against England at Melbourne in 1990-91, where he took 13 wickets.

He had the phenomenal ability to straighten the ball to a right-hander, as well as slant away a little, with a naturally steep bounce. Given his skill and excellence in the game, it meant that he was there to stay and take Australia to greater levels, until injuries played a spoiler in his short but celebrated career.

Reid went on to become India's fast bowling coach in 2003, ahead of the Test series against Australia at the Gabba.
