The Surprise Wicket-Takers: Top 10 Best Part-Time Bowlers in International Cricket
Specialists, the cunning spinners and devastating fast bowlers who make a living off of taking wickets, frequently define cricket. However, the unexpected heroes can sometimes provide the most memorable moments in the game: the Golden arm spells from part-time bowlers can completely change the outcome of a match.
These bowlers weren't chosen mainly for their ability to bowl, but they became legendary due to their ability to make breakthroughs at pivotal times. Part-timers have brought a special charm to the game, whether it was by ending risky partnerships, relieving frontline bowlers, or simply shocking the opposition with an unplayable delivery.
