Cricpicks is one of my favorite podcasts on this channel. Very entertaining!

[@joshforde698]

No idea why Jimmy Anderson's action is so unpopular, it has kept him playing tests from the age of 20 to the age of nearly 42. Also, how did Richard Hadlee not get a mention, one of the smoothest actions ever.

[@sayantanbhadra1291]

Exactly!! Spot on about Jimmy

[@joebowden4065]

Exactly. Kimber is ranting about how many balls jimmy bowled atm. He would never have bowled so many if he didnt have such a smooth action

[@emtee98]

my left field pick is RP Singh - smoothest action of all time

[@KeyboardAbhishek]

My first pick too!

[@ravipratapsingh1672]

For us Indians specially born in late 90s, no one comes close to Zaheer Khan, that action with poise was so elegant that any random person would do it even randomly on streets

[@TerrAqua]

I used to do the jump but I gained no pace from it infact I slowed down 😂

[@SerioussoccerfanYT]

Irfan had a good one too.

[@KeshuvHuriaMusic]

surprised to see no Brett Lee there in the 15 thought it would be one of the first couple pf picks haha

[@sankalp5482]

Danish kaneria was one I found interesting. He looked so worried while bowling, which I found amusing 😅

[@sankalp5482]

Wonder post COVID he wouldn't have been allowed to do that 😂

[@lukekelly7544]

Dale styen for god sakes

[@MICOhive]

And ambrose is my favourite bowler of all time,these were great picks honestly

[@patientdnb]

Dan Lawrence needs a mention

[@faisalrattani9154]

Foster, Malcolm Marshall, Roger Harper and my all time favorite Dennis Lillee

[@ganesh6559]

my favorite crickpicks episode....so far

[@GovernorBandicoot]

Good list overall. Not sure what Anderson is doing in there though 😂 I'd add Harbajhan to the long list atleast though, his action was iconic.

[@sayantanbhadra1291]

Fantastic topic! Took me back to my childhood. Don't know why Behram was crucified for picking Jimmy as no 1, poetry in motion like he described. That rhythmic action is one of the main reasons for his longevity too

[@sushreyomisra3261]

No one mentioned Debasish Mohanty? I am gutted! He was the only bowler with a perfectly symmetrical bowling action! 😁

[@harikrishnan4420]

how did you miss older CARL HOOPER??!!! epic longest run up, epic load and release!!!

[@ashishdhal4614]

1.Debasish mohanty 2.bishan sinh bedi 3.sohail tanvir 4.jaspreet bumrah 5.brett lee my list

[@raheelakhtar7]

No one picked Dennis Lillee who had the most pure bowling action of all time? Or Michael Holding with the best run up? Dale Steyn?Imran Khan for the jump, Waqar Younis for the energy, Kapil Dev was iconic in what he did in the jump with his hands. Malcolm Marshall with the slanted run up. Lance Klusener and Dominic Cork fascinated me as well.

[@shrikrishna19993]

I think most names were mentioned in at least honorable mentions list. I think few names that missed were Sunil Narine, Ashok Dinda, Sreesanth.

[@SarveshCK]

I think Paddy Dooley and Ntini/Sohail Tanveer deserved an honorable mention at least! (And a rogue pick: Kedhar Jadhav😂)

[@faisalrattani9154]

Behram calling Mushtaq's action unique clarified for me of when he started watching cricket. Even Jarod did not correct him when he called it unique. Mustaq's action was a Carbon Copy of Abdul Qadir. There is only one match in 1989 aginst India where both of them played together. This is th famous Sachin match wherehe hit multiple sixes in one over of both Qadir and Mushtaq.

[@prateekarora2818]

The actions I used to copy the most growing up were: Henry Olanga Carl Hooper Kumble Wikramsinghe

[@9612247897]

Zaheer was the one me and my friends would try to replicate the most.

[@yashdaware2458]

Sreesanth, for his exaggerated shaking left hand action.

[@rihitjamb3757]

I have to agree on the James Anderson pick, its a beautiful action, had him a bit too high tho

[@rihitjamb3757]

Behram wins this probably for the first and last time

[@muqi_hameed]

Yeah I like his Anderson pick

[@rihitjamb3757]

Yeah he got shit on for Anderson for no reason

[@subhAjitDin]

My top 5 are Abdul Qadir Wasim Akram Shane Warne Jasprit Bumrah Michael Holding / Alan Donald

[@samar612ahmed]

Was waiting for someone to say Sunil Narine 😅😂

[@aojs23o73]

Sunil Narine 1.0

[@Abhi_0893]

Can see Behram silently fuming over Jarrod just picking apart his picks and shitting on him 😅

[@tajeramdeodat7119]

Jarrod for the win. 2 West Indies players, how can he not win 🏆

[@keshavawasty4816]

Mo Shami, Carl Hooper, Jesse Ryder, Brett Lee, OG Zaheer Khan action, Mitchell Johnson, RP Singh, Ryan Harris, Andrew Flintoff, and Bumrah huge misses

[@rajrohit897]

Best cricketing ads ever (tv, digital, whatever)

[@MICOhive]

I was hoping that you guys don't forget Akram,his was so energetic,great pod btw

[@andrewzielinski8845]

Behram Was there mate, I think you could guarantee Wasim!!!

[@kdawggg2413]

Shaun Pollock had a good bowling action

[@joepritchard1393]

holding. talk about poetry in motion, many great actions but no one tops mikey for me...

[@Legendgaming-tp1is]

there is lot of bias here 1)shane warne 2) mcgrath 3) bret lee 4) wasim akram 5) zaheer khan 6) starc 7) shane bond 8) boult 9) harbajan 10) malinga 11) bumhra 12) dale styne 13) akthar these are the top iconic actions( in my generation)

[@lalithkarunatilaka]

Harold Larwood

[@ayushsinghchauhan22]

Bumrah (ram rod), zaheer khan(that giant leap) ,lance klusner (almost kissing the ball before delivering), Glen mcgrath (last step coming close to the wicket) I think these all were quite iconic actions...

[@paulgladstoneboonpushparaj9420]

So both Kuldeep and Bishnoi are heavily influenced by SK Warne and they do try to walk in

[@shivamchoudhary6998]

Jimmy and rabada over bumrah😟 it's one of the most unique action in cricket ever.

[@Sam-co1ic]

Bumrah is unique but i argue he is not that easy on eye But rabada and Anderson is both very pleasing to watch

[@shivamchoudhary6998]

@@Sam-co1ic Jarrod literally picked a guy with that weird foot action where he shows his spikes that's also not very aesthetically pleasing right

[@Sam-co1ic]

@@shivamchoudhary6998 trueee

[@uditshivaram6538]

Brilliant bowler, ugly action

[@shivamchoudhary6998]

@@uditshivaram6538 where in the title is it mentioned that action must be "Beautiful ". I have no issue with them not putting bumrah there it's their subjective list just like being beautiful🙏

[@yashthirani6849]

I think Kuldeep Yadav has the best action of all time.

[@parkjohns9696]

Jeff Thomson isn’t a nice person 19:55 ?? You must have caught him on a bad day, he’s very down to earth and patient. Why write him off so quickly??

[@areicgnon]

I forgot Kedar Jadhav. Mustafizur Rehman Jesse Ryder Pravin Kumar Mujeeb Ur Rehman

[@matthewkimber4513]

Have you guys done best hair yet? 😀

[@rahulsrinivas3224]

They have. Episode 9

[@premkumar-tt2ix]

no dale steyn.what a shame!

[@mrinalkantinath1271]

No harbhajan, ashwin or narine. Whats dis hate against finger guys

[@josephmathew939]

What about Virat kohli.. He's action is the most unique

[@surajjha2814]

Indian players r getting just ignored untils it's about batting - bumrah, kumble, Ashwin, kohli for different action

[@tuhinsubhranath4900]

Kapil dev for the win

[@areicgnon]

My list Sreesanth RP Singh Ishant Sharma Harbhajan Singh Mohinder Amarnath

[@amrutheshumashankar4996]

Jimmy anderson is the white bread of bowling action.

[@CaffinatedQuest]

Where is Bumrah? What are you guys even doing.

[@sagarhirani4559]

You guys are absolute weirdos. Honestly 😂 Everyone know the list needs to be Brett Lee, Akhtar, Zaheer Khan, Murali, Warne, Malinga, Steyn, Akram, Freddie Flintoff, Harbhajan Singh, Kumble, Bumrah, and then whoever and whatever. WTF was that list! Stop giving Behram first pick EVER! Jarrod goes 3, Estelle goes 2, then Behram goes 1 😂 Behram has the worst first picks ever in any episode 😂😂

[@rihitjamb3757]

Surprised how Lilee or imran weren’t picked. Behram and Estelle need to do more research being journos they have a really limited knowledge of the games history
